Designing a Survey
Consider survey design for your study.
Would it be appropriate? Remember, “survey” as a research design is different from “survey” as a method of data collection. The former is a methodology with its own logic; for example, you might want to compare survey answers of one group with another group’s to identify patterns or trends. Or you could also use this design if you are interested in the same group of people but administering the same survey at different points in time to detect and evaluate a change, if any.
Survey as a data collection method has no such obligations–you can create a survey to gather responses for a correlational study where you are interested not in group differences, but in a relationship between two factors.
Your task in this assignment is:
a) to reflect whether survey design is appropriate for your study, and
b) to brainstorm 4 questions for a survey (it could be for any survey if you think your study would not use a survey).
Rules: no close ended questions! No double-barrelled questions!
Grading rubric:
0=no submission, or partial submission;
0.5 per each question
1 point for reflection.
