Physical Computing - UK Primary Teachers - survey!

At the Raspberry Pi Computing Education Research Centre, the research team are investigating how teachers think children might respond to physical computing opportunities, for example, how confident they are, and whether they experiment with their projects.

Please can you complete a quick survey on  how you teach with the micro:bit or other physical computing devices, and about any gender differences you have noted.

Please help us if you teach upper primary Y3-6 children (or P4-7 in Northern Ireland and Scotland) and have used the BBC micro:bit in your teaching. It doesn’t have to be in the last year.

But, if you’ve taken part in our EPICS Class Activity with your pupils you will have already seen this survey – so you don’t need to do it again. 

The first 25 teachers who complete their teacher questionnaire will receive a £20 Waterstones voucher, and all teachers can choose to enter a prize draw to win a set of computing-related books for their school.

The research project will be running from 2024-2029 and we will be regularly sharing  results so you will be able to compare your own experience with other upper primary teachers. You’ll also be making a valuable contribution to a substantial study that investigates creativity, confidence and agency in computing of primary-aged children, and later on in their early secondary years of education.
