We made an appeal through the TES staffroom section on our website and wrote to five universities, who passed on our request to their ITT students.
We received more than 100 responses and 75 students returned the first of our four detailed questionnaires. We are still accepting volunteers for the project. E-mail: scribe.r@ukonline.co.uk
The participating universities were: Goldsmiths, Lancaster St Martins, Leeds, Liverpool Edgehill, University of Wales Institute Cardiff, and Warwick. But we would emphasise that the total sample included students from 31 different ITT providers.
Initial data entry was carried out by Caroline Wrelton
