Questioning my questions

As I am working through my action research, making observations, collecting data, I have been asking myself a lot of questions.  One of my main methods of data collection related to changing the culture of my classroom was through a survey I gave the students at the beginning and the end of the research period.  Although I know that the survey collected very important information for me and has been valuable to my research question, I am wondering if my questions were specific enough to help my students express how they felt about the classroom culture.  I tried to focus my questions on overall feelings in the classroom but also focus on the three main rules that our school uses for PBIS.  The questions focused on being respectful, responsible, and safe.   I know that we have had mini lessons on these concepts but I wonder if my survey questions should have been more specific to gather even more accurate information for the various aspects of the classroom culture related to PBIS.  It is definitely something to think about in further projects and surveys.
