Positive responses

What are positive responses?

Positive responses are those that belong to the top half of the possible responses. If there is a neutral middle response (coloured in yellow) when the number of possible responses is odd, that answer is not included in the positive responses. In Edurio questions, these will usually be the top two answer options (coloured in green). The value is expressed as 0 -100% where 0% indicates no positive responses and 100% indicates all responses positive. Higher positive percentage is always better, no matter how the question is formulated.

How are positive response percentages calculated?

The percentages of positive responses are calculated by summing up the positive responses and dividing them by the total number of responses excluding those who've chosen a "Not applicable" or a similar opt-out answer if there is one (coloured in grey).

In this example, the calculations are as follows:

(76 + 111) / (284 - 10) = 68%

How are positive response percentages coloured?

Positive responses are shown on a colour scale from dark red to dark green. Graphs that do not represent a scale are shown in teal.

Average scores

How are average scores calculated?

In calculating the average scores, each possible response is given a value from 1
to N (number of available responses), where 1 is the lowest-ranked answer (e.g. “not at all”
or “not useful at all”) and N is the highest-ranked one (e.g. “very often” or “very useful”). The average response is the mean of all the responses to a question (in a selected group or
in the school).

How are average scores coloured?

Average scores are shown on a colour scale from dark red to dark green.
