Details

An educational innovation project was carried out for improving teaching-learning processes at the University of Oviedo (Spain) for the 2020/2021 academic year. A total of 50 students have been requested to answer an online questionnaire about their perception of lack of information in expository face-to-face lessons by selecting the interval that best represents their level of agreement to the statements proposed in a interval-valued scale bounded between 1 and 7, where 1 means strongly disagree and 7 represents the option strongly agree.

These are the 5 items used to measure the perception of the students about the lack of information in expository face-to-face lessons:

1. I receive too little information from my classmates.

2. It is difficult to receive relevant information from my classmates.

3. It is difficult to receive relevant information from the teacher.

4. The amount of information I receive from my classmates is very low.

5. The amount of information I receive from the teacher is very low.

Moreover, the students have been requested to indicate their sex too.
