How many times did you do the reflection on your teaching practice?

Sometimes, we don’t truly know what students want to learn, as curriculum and content are often designed from the perspective of adults — educators, policymakers, and curriculum developers — rather than the learners themselves. While these intentions may be rooted in experience or academic goals, they can miss the real interests, needs, and aspirations of students. To create more meaningful and relevant learning experiences, it's essential to actively listen to students and involve them in shaping their own education. This survey aims to better understand what students genuinely want to learn, how they prefer to learn it, and what changes could make their educational journey more engaging and empowering.

We can use in a student survey or interview to explore what they really want to learn from the curriculum, textbooks, and teachers:

Student Learning Preferences Survey
Section 1: Curriculum & Content

What school subjects do you enjoy the most, and why?
Are there topics you wish were included in the curriculum that currently aren't?
Do you feel the content you learn is useful for your life outside school? Why or why not?
Section 2: Textbooks & Learning Materials
4. How helpful are your textbooks in understanding the lessons?
5. What would make your textbooks or learning materials more engaging?
6. Would you prefer more digital or interactive materials instead of printed textbooks?

Section 3: Teaching & Classroom Experience
7. What teaching styles help you learn best (e.g. discussions, hands-on activities, visuals)?
8. What do you wish teachers would do more of during lessons?
9. How comfortable do you feel asking questions or sharing your opinions in class?

Section 4: Open Reflection
10. If you could design your own subject or class, what would it be about?
11. What do you think is missing from your education right now?
12. What skills do you want to leave school with, that you're not learning yet?

Have you ever interviewed students in schools to find out what they truly want to learn from the curriculum, textbooks, and teachers?
