MAILING LISTS

Hello everyone,
I have an opportunity to "borrow" classes of education majors and other 
majors who are getting teaching licenses here in Japan from two other 
universities to do 90 minute TBL presentations. My first attempt at 
using TBL will begin in my own class in October with a class of 120.  
I'd like to use these "borrowed" classes as a way to collect some data 
on Japanese students' reactions to the concept of TBL.  Generally, 
Japanese students come from a background of almost exclusively didactic 
lessons from 7th grade (Jr. High School) on into university. 

After introducing TBL as a teaching strategy, I want to collect data 
through a survey.  I'm wondering if anyone has ever done a similar 
survey and if they would share their survey questions.  If not, 
suggestions on some good questions to ask would be very helpful.  I 
expect much of the same reticence that teachers in other countries have 
experienced, so I want to be prepared.  I'd also like to be able to show 
my data to my boss and say, "I'm going into this with my eyes wide open, 
so support me please!"

Thanks always for your excellent input.

Regards,
Christine
