3.2.2 Descriptive data
Three question types were used to collect data within the WFD faculty questionnaire. First, using a Likert scale, several questions asked WFD faculty to indicate their expectations and personal preference to the questionnaire items by selecting, on a scale of one to five, the importance of each item to their activities within WFD. Second, the questionnaire asked WFD faculty to indicate their preference to WFD activities by selecting yes or no. Third, WFD faculty answered multiple choice questions. Additionally, many of the questions presented opportunities to complete open-ended responses. This data is represented in the results section applying frequencies to indicate the most often selected response. The results of the analysis indicate the important roles and responsibilities WFD expect to perform within WFD. The descriptive statistics indicate the WFD preferences corresponding to the research questions. The descriptive statistical analysis considered the three research questions of importance to the study: 1.) Roles and responsibilities of WFD faculty, 2.) WFD faculty recruitment and selection, and 3.) WFD faculty professional development.
