CIQ Questions
2. At what moment in the class this week did you feel most distanced from what was happening?
3. What action that anyone (teacher or student) took in class this week did you find most affirming and helpful?
4. What action that anyone (teacher or student) took in class this week did you find the most confusing puzzling?

CIQ: Declaration and First CIQ Post: Thursday 1st March 2012
I would like to ask you to participate in the data collection for a work-based study into the use of an electronic Critical Incident Questionnaire (CIQ). For the purposes of this work-based study the questionnaire will be used to discover how you are experiencing teaching sessions. Its usefulness is underlined by the experience that student responses often differ markedly from what teachers have expected on the basis of their own feelings in the classroom (Brookfield 1995: 95-96).
Your name or any other personal identifying information will not appear in any publications resulting from this study. The information gained from this interview will only be used for the above objectives, will not be used for any other purpose and will not be recorded in excess of what is required for the research.
Even though the study findings will be published in a Thesis, international conferences and journals, only relevant researchers will have access to the anonymous CIQ responses. These researchers will be bound by the principles outlined above. There are no known or anticipated risks to you as a participant in this work-based study.
If you have any questions regarding this study or would like additional information please contact the work-based study researcher (p.smith7@unimail.derby.ac.uk).
By filling in the CIQ (every occasion) you indicate that you understand its purpose and consent to the use of the data as indicated above. This is a completely voluntary request and should you decide not to complete the CIQ at any point during the work-based study, the data you have already entered up to that point will be used.
Thank you for your cooperation

4. What action that anyone (teacher or student) took in class this week did you find the most confusing puzzling?
Chesterfield CIQ
Currently I am in the process of conducting research into effective critical reflection within an educational environment. This Research is in conjunction with the Centre for Educational Research, University of Derby.
It is my intention to use Stephen Brookfield's Critical Incident Questionnaire (CIQ) to gain knowledge of individual student perspectives.
So what is critical reflection?
"When we reflect, we not only challenge our assumptions about why we do what we do, we can also help ourselves identify where we feel lacking and why we may be setting ourselves unnecessarily unachievable standards. How can we reflect on our approaches to our practice? What can we do? What can we uncover in the process?" (Hillier, 2005)
"To put it briefly, reflection becomes critical when it has two distinctive purposes. The first is to understand how considerations of power undergird, frame, and distort educational processes and interactions. The second is to question assumptions and practices that seem to make our teaching lives easier but actually work against our own best long-term interests."(Brookfield, 1995)
Please read the guidance notes before you complete the CIQ.
All you need to do is just before the end of the lesson click on the “CIQ Questionnaire” link and either fill in your responses to the questions on that page or download the document and complete in word; copy the questions and your responses; click on the comments tab (in blue writing; it probably says 0 comments to start with) at the bottom of the page and then paste the response in the comments box at the bottom of the page.
It is important to remember that you will need to change the “comment as” option to “Anonymous” as it is important that the identities of any individual who makes a post is not known.
Furthermore, remember to keep a copy of your CIQ (save it as a word document) for your own records.
Thanks!
