LESSON 2 DESIGNING THE SURVEY

What’s New?
ACTIVITY 1. WHAT YOU KNOW

know about survey. Under the W column, write what you want to know about it.
Lastly, leave the L column blank because you will go back to it later on.

What is it?
A survey is a general view, examination, or description of someone or
something. It also refers to looking carefully and thoroughly at (someone or
something), especially to assess them. When you want to do a survey, you need a

questionnaire to help get the information that you need. A good questionnaire should
be valid, reliable, clear, and interesting. When we say,
Valid - it asks what it intends to ask.
Reliable – it gets the same answer if the same
question is posed repeatedly in a short time.
Clear – it is easily understood.
Interesting – it is completed by the respondents
and gets better response rate
The design of the questionnaire should not

be taken for granted to be able to get accurate


data. A bad questionnaire may lead to wrong conclusions since data collected may
not be correct.
Remember these when you create a survey questionnaire:

Let us discuss each thoroughly.


DESIGN
• Ask the right questions

Questions may be “close-ended” or “open-ended.” You can use either


depending on the data that you want to get from your respondents.
“Close-ended” questions provide options to the respondents and require them
to choose one or more items from the list. This is used if the range of answers are
well known and the options are limited.
For example: Do you have a computer at home? ___yes ___no

Teacher II
“Open-ended” questions allow the respondent to express their opinions freely
and they are not restricted by the options. This is used if the answer options are
multiple and unknown. The answers to the open-ended questions require re-grouping
before analysis.
For example: What are the reasons why students do not have computers
at home? (You can list one or two reasons)
The options available should be comprehensive so that the respondent can find
an option which best suits his/ her answer. You can include an “Other: please specify
________” category as one of the options. You can also let them check as many items
as applicable but be sure to mention it in your options.
For example: Why do you want to have a computer? (You can choose
more than one)
I need it for my projects in school.
I want to play online games.
My friends have computers.
I want to use it for business.
Others: Please specify: ___________________________
In questions that involve assessing attitudes or giving opinions, a scale with a
range of responses is preferred to a yes/no answer. Likert scale (usually 5-point or 7-
point) is a commonly used method.
For example:
Questions Strongly Agree Neutral Strongly Disagree
agree 4 3 disagree 1
5 2
We should have a computer
at home.

In a questionnaire which has many parts, some of which need not be answered
by the respondent, filtering is used to guide the respondent to answer only the
relevant questions. However, you should avoid using too much filtering as this may
confuse the respondents and make the questionnaire complicated.
For example:
Do you have a computer at home? ___ Yes ___ No

If your answer is no, proceed to question no. 4.


Avoid double-barreled questions. It is a common mistake that refers to asking two
things in one question.

Teacher II
For example: Do you have a computer and a laptop at home?
Avoid ambiguous questions. Be clear and specific in constructing your
question.
• Use Appropriate Format

This is important because the “look” of the questionnaire may decide whether
the respondent is going to fill it up or not.
The title should be highlighted and should reflect the main objective of the
research. If possible, divide the questionnaire into sections according to the content
(e.g. boxes with bold headings) and it should flow smoothly from one section to another
with appropriate filtering.
If your respondents involve older persons, a bigger font size should be used.
Finally, include a cover letter stating the objective of your study, and your affiliations.
Most importantly, it should include a confidentiality clause. This is to inform your
respondents on how you are going to use the collected information.

• Arrange the questions


logically

The order of the questions


should flow in a logical sequence.
Start with simple questions and
move to more complex questions.
You can start with the demographic
profile like age, address, and
others.
• Make instructions clear

Instructions should be very


clear and introductory comments
should be appropriate. Short
instructions help the respondents
understand easily and help them set
their mind on answering the
questions.
The respondents should be
told exactly what is wanted.
For example:
Place a check mark in the

TEST
A pilot test is a crucial step in the design of questionnaire before data collection
begins. It will help detect flaws in the questionnaire in terms of content, grammar, and
format.
You can ask your colleagues, family, or friends to comment on the
questionnaire. By doing so, mistakes in terms of content, grammar, and or format will
be lessened. This should be followed by asking the potential respondents to answer
the questionnaire and provide their feedback. For those questions which you feel may
be confusing or sensitive, it is important to ask the respondents to comment
specifically during the pilot test.
REVISE
You will evaluate for general content, organization, and tone, by adding,
deleting, and organizing information if necessary. When revising, it can be helpful to
answer these questions:
Who is your audience?
Are your objectives enough?
Have you included enough information?
Do you have more information than you need?
Have you chosen the proper words to express your ideas?
Are you wordy, repetitive, or inconsistent?
When you have done all of these, you have crafted a good survey
questionnaire. It does not seem easy at first but when you start doing it, you will find
it very helpful.
