Questionnaire Survey
• Aim: To introduce the basic concepts of questionnaire survey for collection
of field data
ILOs: Upon attending this session, the students will be ableILOs: Upon attending this session, the students will be ableto
Design a questionnaire given a set of research questions Administer the questionnaire among the chosen sample elements

Questionnaire
• In field research, the researcher collects information byobserving the social phenomena directly and as completely aspossible.
• But in case where the population is too large to observedirectly, the survey research is probably the best option forcollecting primary data.collecting primary data.
• It is one of the most powerful and frequently used methods insocial sciences
• A set of questions are used• The method is suitable for obtaining information for explaining social
phenomena and exploratory research• A method is different from a tool. While a method refers to the way or
mode of gathering data, a tool is an instrument used for the method. Forexample, a schedule is used for interviewing.

Questionnaire may contain a mixture of questions or statements (some items better served if statements, and some if questions)

Structured questionnaire
• Identical questions for everyone in terms of wording, and sequence• Validity of results
Unstructured questionnaireUnstructured questionnaire
• Not the same set of questions (wording and sequence) for everybody• Heterogeneous respondents • Education, vocabularies, level of comprehension
![Page 7: Survey Techniquesmsalamkhan.buet.ac.bd/teaching_msk_files/Survey techniques.pdf · volunteer additional information Answers are exhaustive and mutually exclusive Respondents have](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071017/5fd0ad0b8dbfcd76871dbacb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Closed-ended and Open-ended questions Little room for respondents tovolunteer additional information
Answers are exhaustive and mutually exclusive
Respondents have freedom to provide their answers
What do you think of the performance of the water users' association?
Advantages??Advantages??Disadvantages??
If nature, range, and diversity of responses are known – closed ended; otherwise open-ended MAY BE appropriate.
Factual, opinion, motivation and knowledge questions

Construction of questionnaire"No survey can be better than its questionnaire"Step-1: decide variables directly related to the hypothesis (or research questions) (plus other variables, e.g. background variables)
Step-2: frame questions to obtain information on variablesvariables
Cover letter (in case of self-administered questionnaire)
Introductory statements (in case of interview)
Confidentiality of the responses
Instructions on how to fill in

Characteristics of a good questionnaire
• Accurate communication
• Accurate response
• Attractive form and style
• Direct, simple and unambiguous questions• Direct, simple and unambiguous questions
• The questions should not be so intimate
• The questions must be directly related to the specialized problem being explored
• The responses should be such as are classifiable and amenable to statistical treatment

Questionnaire lengthShould cover only those that are absolutely necessary (else may affect quality of information, increase cost)
Spread questions over a large number of pages (but not too lengthy)
Try to avoid contingency questions

Question Wording As simple language as possible (may be ‘technical’ in nature for certain professional groups)
Make questions as specific as possibleHow much money did you spend for irrigation in the last three months?last three months?
