Assignment-IV: Provisional Questions for data collection
Introduction
Data collection is critical for conducting research and collecting information for our study participants. One of the primary methods to collect data is through question development. A questionnaire is a research tool consisting of a list of the question as well as answers sequentially from a large sample of data in an efficient, cheap, and quick way.it is prepared in a way that translates information into a series of information. Before framing the questionnaire, it is important to identify the target respondents to collect data and information. It can be collected through interviews, personal contact, internet-based question, and telephonic interview. Each question must be capable of testing the hypothesis through the research design. The key player in the success of a survey is the proper setting of the survey questionnaire which even verifies the reliability and validity of any survey. Whereas poorly structured questionnaires will invite a poor quality response that can twist or reduce the effectiveness of the survey. In this assignment, we will use different types of questions to build a questionnaire for data collection from a selected sample of the population.
The following questionnaires consist of different types of questions within themselves to provide the respondent an opportunity to enhance the engagement and response rate.
Open-ended questions: They are easily answered and contain no alternative. The aim is to collect primary data with the response being unstructured and not restricted to opinions after every question.
Close-ended questions: The respondents are provided a limit of certain options with qualities being provided after the question.
Dichotomous: The questions contains two distinct groups of answers and are usually answered in a Yes/No format or agree/disagree format.
Ranking & Rating Scale: These type of questionnaires asks respondent questions by helping them compare two distinct sets of items with the help of a common single scale.
Check List: The checklist offers the respondents the motive for filing the answer to the survey questions. It helps in substantiating the steps of action to be taken by the researcher.
