The questionnaire we designed is to find out senior graders and teachers’ impression of shuttleball, and how much they know. The questionnaire contains 10-15 items for the school teachers and students. The purpose of the questionnaire is to find out their thoughts and feelings about shuttleball, and to let people know the shuttleball development, and figure out how to develop shuttleball. The population for this survey is six graders. Among the 180 returned questionnaire, 157 are effective, 23 are ineffective. The following is the analysis of the survey results.

1. Did you ever heard of shuttleball?

 Analysis: Obviously, Xisong Elementary School has a shuttleball team, so almost of the students heard about shuttleball.

2. What’s your feeling for shuttleball?

Analysis: The population of “Interesting” and “Not interesting” are similar, but those who chose “Not interesting” is also high. It is possibly because most of the student think that shuttleball is too difficult to play, with a feeling of frustration.

3.Do you think shuttlecock is the same as shuttleball?

Analysis: It depends on the personal opinion and the familiarity to shuttleball. Basically, Taiwan shuttleball is different from the traditional shuttlecock.

4. Which part of body cannot touch the shuttleball in the game?

Analysis: Shuttleball is a kind of foot sport, so most people think the ball is played by feet and not played by hand. People who choose “Others” might have different opinions.

5. Which court is the same as the shuttleball court?

Analysis: I believe that the students in Xisong Elementary School know where the shuttleball team practice, and also know that court is for volleyball as well as for badminton. Those who chose “Basketball court” just filled out randomly.

6. Do you know that there is a school shuttleball team in Xisong Elementary School?

Analysis: The Xisong Elementary School shuttleball team practices every day on the outdoor court, except on raining days. It is impossible that someone has no idea about the shuttleball team, unless they never notice the shuttleball at all, thus not noticing the shuttleball team. Thus, there are some students who don’t know what shuttleball looks like.

7. Do you want to join the shuttleball team?

Analysis: That is because many students have already joined other clubs or had no interested in shuttleball. Only a small portion of the student are interested. There is no shuttleball lesson in PE class in Xisong Elementary School. Due to unfamiliarity, the students are not interested in it.

8. Which one is shuttleball?
 

Analysis: Many students have seen shuttleball and knew what it looks like. For those who had never seen it may associate it with shuttlecock.

9.Did you have any family member who was ever a shuttleball player?

Analysis: There are very few people have joined shuttleball team.

10.What is your impression on the shuttleball team player? (May choose more than one)

Analysis: Most of the people think that the shuttleball team players practice hard, and are outgoing and athletic. Only a few people concern their academic performance.

11.What is the color of the feather on the shuttleball?

Analysis: Most of people have been the shuttleball and knew its color. Less than half of the respondents have no idea.

12.How many points are in one session in an official shuttleball game?

Analysis: I think this question is the most difficult one. The right answer is “21 Points”. Many students must had guessed the answer. It is hard to understand how the points count, even for other sport games.

13.Which country was the origin of shuttleball?

Analysis: About half of the respondents didn’t know the shuttleball, which our school shuttleball team is using, is invented by Taiwanese. Those who answered right were guessing with luck.
