Questionnaires to measure children's travel autonomy
To measure the children's level of travel autonomy, before the start of the "We go to school alone" experience, our research group developed a questionnaire that investigates the level of autonomous mobility both during the home - school and extracurricular courses.
The questionnaire to be administered at the beginning of the experience is called the Pre Test Questionnaire and is aimed at children and their respective parents. At the end of the first year of experimentation and at the end of each of the subsequent years, a Post Test Questionnaire is administered (again for children and parents), which will measure the progress of travel autonomy and the effectiveness of the proposed experience.
Cities that start the "We go to school alone" experience can request the questionnaires by writing an email to citta.bambini@istc.cnr.it or by filling out the form in the contact section.
Furthermore, instructions for the correct administration and completion of the questionnaires are available.
