Dear Reviewer,
Thank you very much for agreeing to
participate in reviewing the current survey!
The current study is intended to explore a few
important aspects of learner perceptions of transactional distance. More
specifically, its four main scales are concerned with:
a) learners' interaction with other OU
students, their course tutor and course materials (Section A);
b) their opinion of course structure and the degree of learner control
(Section B);
c) the degree of independence and interdependence they think they are
provided in their studies (Section C);
d) the perceived degree of transactional distance (SectionD).
You are provided with the draft version of the
survey and we would like to ask you to leave your opinion on clarity, relevance and coherence of each of
the questionnaire items in the relevant boxes opposite each item on a scale from 1 to 5 (please find more detailed
information in the box below).
If you would like to make other comments on
individual scales of the instrument and questionnaire as a whole a blank
space is provided at the end of each section.
·
Clarity measures the extent to which the
item is clear to you.
5 means that the
item is very clear, 1
means that it is not clear.
·
Relevance deals with the degree of the item's
relevance in the context of investigation into one of the dimensions of
transactional distance.
5 means that is is very relevant, while 1 means that the item is
irrelevant.
·
Coherence refers to the coherence of the
response category in question and need to modify it
5

any modifications; 1

recommended.
