Ara per ara Moodle només ofereix determinats tipus d'enquestes. En versions futures podreu crear tipus nous.

Les enquestes disponibles s'han triat per ser les més particularment utils en l'avaluació d'entorns virtuals d'ensenyament basats en una pedagogia constructivista. Són útils per identificar determinades tendències que poden donar-se entre els estudiants (Per veure un article sobre el tema amb una anàlisi detallada aneu a http://dougiamas.com/writing/herdsa2002)

COLLES - Constructivist On-Line Learning Environment Survey (Enquesta sobre un entorn virtual d'aprenentatge constructivista)

COLLES comprises an economical 24 statements grouped into six scales, each of which helps us address a key question about the quality of the on-line learning environment:

Relevance	How relevant is on-line learning to students' professional practices?
Reflection	Does on-line learning stimulate students' critical reflective thinking?
Interactivity	To what extent do students engage on-line in rich educative dialogue?
Tutor Support	How well do tutors enable students to participate in on-line learning?
Peer Support	Is sensitive and encouraging support provided on-line by fellow students?
Interpretation	Do students and tutors make good sense of each other's on-line communications?

Underpinning the dynamic view of learning is a new theory of knowing: social constructivism, which portrays the learner as an active conceptualiser within a socially interactive learning environment. Social constructivism is an epistemology, or way of knowing, in which learners collaborate reflectively to co-construct new understandings, especially in the context of mutual inquiry grounded in their personal experience.

Central to this collaboration is the development of students' communicative competence, that is, the ability to engage in open and critical discourse with both the teacher and peers. This discourse is characterised by an empathic orientation to constructing reciprocal understanding, and a critical attitude towards examining underlying assumptions.

The COLLES has been designed to enable you to monitor the extent to which you are able to exploit the interactive capacity of the World Wide Web for engaging students in dynamic learning practices.

ATTLS - Attitudes to Thinking and Learning Survey (Enquesta sobre les actituds de pensament i aprentatge)

The theory of 'ways of knowing', originally from the field of gender research (Belenky et al., 1986) provides us with a survey tool to examine the quality of discourse within a collaborative environment.

The Attitudes Towards Thinking and Learning Survey (ATTLS) is an instrument developed by Galotti et al. (1999) to measure the extent to which a person is a 'connected knower' (CK) or a 'separate knower' (SK).

People with higher CK scores tend to find learning more enjoyable, and are often more cooperative, congenial and more willing to build on the ideas of others, while those with higher SK scores tend to take a more critical and argumentative stance to learning.

Studies have shown that these two learning styles are independent of each other (Galotti et al., 1999; Galotti et al., 2001). Additionally, they are only a reflection of learning attitudes, not learning capacities or intellectual power.
