Topic: ______________________________________
Research Question: _______________________________________________
Alternative Hypothesis (Ha): _________________________________
Null Hypothesis (Ho): ____________________________________________
Choose one of the topics given by the professor. Only topics assigned by the professor will be graded.
You will develop your own research question based on the selected topic.
The number of questions do not matter. Try to include 8-10 questions that will answer the research question. Make sure that the questions are relevant to answer the research question. The demographic questions are not included in these questions. The survey should not exceed 1.5 pages.
The surveys must include at least 3 types of the following:
Questioning techniques: Closed-ended (structured) questions; and 1-2 open-ended (unstructured) questions. Please note that all questions must be closed-ended, except for the 1 – 2 opened-ended questions that you will include at the end of the survey.
Scaling techniques (Likert Scale, Rating Scale, Verbal Frequency Scale).
Structure of the Survey/Questionnaire
Write the Topic and the Research Question
Write demographic information questions after (age, gender, race/ethnicity, level of education, income). These should be closed-ended questions, therefore you MUST provide options for the participants.
Next, write questions that will help you to answer the research question. These will consist of question types mentioned in instruction 4 (above).
Survey will be graded on:
Ability to follow instructions for this assignment
Providing clear instructions for participants to follow
Relevance of questions to the topic
Organization/Neatness/format
Grammar/spelling
Please read Chapter 5 and use resources from the Internet for tips to help you develop an excellent survey.
Tips for Developing a Survey
Provide clear instructions
Questions should be kept simple; do not use words beyond the comprehension of a grade 6 level.
Do not ask 2 questions in one; ask one question at a time
Provide a list of options when you develop closed-ended questions
Provide enough space for responses to open-ended questions
Provide options that are mutually exclusive
Avoid
Bias questions – Ex. Do you think coffee has a positive effect on brain function?
Double Negatives – Do you disagree that students should not have homeworks?
Big words, shorthand, abbreviations.
