# Training break schedule survey

Adjust breaks around concentration and activities.

If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.

## 1. When was a break most needed?

Answer: ____________________

## 2. Which activity should remain uninterrupted?

Answer: ____________________

## 3. What schedule change would help?

Answer: ____________________

## Author notes / illustrative keys where applicable

1. Use this answer to locate the part of the experience that needs explanation. The example issue to investigate is: a long demonstration extends beyond the planned break.
2. An activity needing continuity identifies where a scheduled break may disrupt a meaningful practice sequence. Consider task boundaries and participant needs together, rather than assuming fewer breaks improve concentration for everyone.
3. Turn the requested improvement into a testable next step. One illustrative action is: shorten the demonstration and protect break timing.

Interpretation caution: Do not request medical reasons for break preferences.


## Illustrative finding and follow-up

Observation: A long demonstration extends beyond the planned break.

Action to test: Shorten the demonstration and protect break timing.

Follow-up: After trying the change, repeat “When was a break most needed?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: a long demonstration extends beyond the planned break. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.
