JALT 2015 data

The files at the bottom of this post are pdf versions of the information we presented at JALT 2015.

[read more=”Read more” less=”Read less”]Each of these documents takes one of the items from our survey related to study abroad expectations and lists that item at the top of the page.

The first bar chart shows how the results came out when we look at all 468 respondents. This is followed in the subsequent bar charts by comparisons of how different subgroups responded to that item. This allows you to compare how a particular subgroup answered vs. the subgroup they were compared with in crosstabs, and also how that subgroup different from all respondents.

At the top of the page you can see a text box, and in the middle it has a line like this | indicating a division between students that disagree with the proposition vs. agree. The bar charts on a given page are organized so this center line marks the dividing point between disagree|agree for every subgroup.

A further discussion of our survey is provided in this post below.
