Long description: It is widely recognised that optimum translation quality is often difficult to achieve owing to problems in the source text. For large-scale cross-cultural surveys source questionnaires need to be translated into multiple target languages in order to produce comparable data across participating countries and cultures. ‘Advance translations’ have been applied in such surveys to improve the translatability of source questionnaires. The author used a think-aloud study to test the usefulness of advance translation into French and German. The study involved experienced professional questionnaire translators and applied qualitative and quantitative analysis. The study confirmed the usefulness of advance translation, at least for the languages and source texts used. Biographical note: Brita Dorer is a translation scholar specialising in questionnaire translation and translation process research in particular. A trained translator for French, Italian and English, holding a PhD in translation studies, her research builds on many years of work as a translator and university lecturer.

"Cet ouvrage répond à deux questions indissociables : à quoi servent les enquêtes par questionnaire ? Comment produire de « bons chiffres » ? Grâce à de nombreuses enquêtes, il permet d'acquérir une double compétence : d'une part, celle de la sociologie explicative, avec la recherche des déterminants sociaux des comportements et de la place à donner aux représentations ; d'autre part, celle des règles de la formulation des questions, le choix de l'échantillon, le codage et surtout les principes de lecture des tableaux statistiques. Tous ces actes mêlent réflexion théorique sur l'objet étudié et décision empirique. Et ce sont ces allers et retours entre les deux niveaux qui forment le raisonnement sociologique. Réactualisé dans cette 5e édition, l'ouvrage s'adresse aux étudiants en sciences sociales, aux chargés d'études, aux travailleurs sociaux et aux cadres des collectivités locales."

Comment construire et manipuler efficacement un guide d'observation et/ou un guide d'entretien, indispensables outils de la récolte de données ? Dans cette praxis de « bricolage », cet opuscule suggère les stratégies générales pour réussir cette activité de terrain. La collecte de données par ces techniques convie le chercheur à observer un minimum d'usages. Il doit être aguerri des techniques d'adaptation permanente face à l'imprévisibilité et aux divers aléas du terrain.

Bringing together the techniques required to understand, interpret and quantify the processes involved when exploring structures and relationships in questionnaire data, Quantitative Analysis of Questionnaires provides the knowledge and capability for a greater understanding of choice decisions. The ideal companion for non-mathematical students with no prior knowledge of quantitative methods, it highlights how to uncover and explore what lies within data that cannot be achieved through descriptive statistics. This book introduces significance testing, contingency tables, correlations, factor analysis (exploratory and confirmatory), regression (linear and logistic), discrete choice theory and item response theory. Using simple and clear methodology, and rich examples from a range of settings, this book: provides hands-on analysis with data sets from both SPSS and Stata packages; explores how to articulate the calculations and theory around statistical techniques; offers workable examples in each chapter with concepts, applications and proofs to help produce a higher quality of research outputs; discusses the use of formulas in the appendix for those who wish to explore a greater mathematical understanding of the concepts. Quantitative Analysis of Questionnaires is the ideal introductory textbook for any student looking to begin and or improve statistical learning as well as interpretation.

Ce mémoire a pour objectif de tester la validité d’un instrument de mesure du climat scolaire en FWB. Dans le domaine de la recherche en sciences de l’éducation, il est régulièrement question de réussite et d’échec scolaires, de décrochage et d’abandon scolaires, de violence et de victimisation scolaires ou encore de santé mentale des élèves et des enseignants. Aussi, les recherches dans le domaine attestent du fait qu’il existe des liens évidents entre le climat scolaire et les éléments cités précédemment. Par ailleurs, l’objectif de ce travail n’est pas de prouver qu’il existe bel et bien un lien entre le climat scolaire et la réussite scolaire des élèves, mais plutôt de vérifier la qualité et donc, la validité des questions posées aux élèves (des enseignements primaire et secondaire), aux enseignants et aux parents, dans le cadre de la recherche sur le climat scolaire en Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles de Belgique. En outre, ce travail a pour but de (re)construire un instrument de mesure du climat scolaire à partir des données observées lors des enquêtes réalisées sur le climat scolaire en 2017 et en 2018 en FWB. La passation des questionnaires destinés aux quatre publics distincts ainsi que l’encodage des données de ces derniers, ont permis d’observer des résultats assez faibles en terme de validité. Néanmoins, différentes pistes d’amélioration sont proposées à la fin de ce travail de recherche.

"Building on the success of the volume from the first Questionnaire Development, Evaluation, and Testing (QDET) conference edited by Stanley Presser (Wiley, 2004), this book brings together international experts in survey methodology in one volume to publish the results of the first conference in over a decade on questionnaire design and evaluation (QDET-2). The dramatic expansion of electronic and self-administered surveys since that time has led to a need for greater guidance on the design and evaluation of instruments relying upon these modes. It will also move beyond recent emphasis on academic and government research, to incorporate more approaches derived from the commercial sector. Methodologists have worked actively on optimal approaches for the development and evaluation of modern survey instruments, but such information has not been systematically disseminated in one forum that brings together various stakeholders in survey quality. This book, edited by leaders in the field, provides an opportunity to organize chapters into a cohesive unit that points to new directions for research and guides an emerging generation of methodologists. The book is a proactive forum to prepare researchers to meet the next generation of challenges, making it of interest to both researchers and practitioners internationally in government, academia, and the private sector"--

This book is comprised of a set of four resources for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and other healthcare professionals working in acute and rehabilitation hospitals. They can be used separately or together to enhance patient-provider communication in hospitals. The IFCI: SAI has been developed so healthcare professionals can identify and support patients who have difficulty communicating, with a focus on patients with communication disability. -- Publisher.
