Analysis

The analysis of data from the questionnaire focuses on understanding the main concerns and issues related to safety in school settings. The results can help identify specific problems, such as a lack of adequate safety measures, the presence of aggressive behavior, or the need for improvements in school infrastructure. Statistical methods are used to understand the distribution and intensity of the problems, as well as to compare opinions among different groups (students, parents, teachers).

Objective

The primary objective of the questionnaire is to provide a clear picture of the safety issues schools face and to identify areas that need improvement. It also aims to inform policymakers and administrative authorities about the real needs of school communities so that specific measures and initiatives can be taken to enhance school safety.

Scoring

The scoring of the questionnaire involves ensuring its reliability and validity. This is achieved through pretesting and adjustments aimed at accurately measuring concepts related to safety. The process includes collecting responses from a sample population and evaluating the consistency of the results using statistical tools such as reliability coefficients (e.g., Cronbach’s alpha) and factor analysis.
