The document discusses the key differences between questionnaires and schedules as data collection instruments. It notes that schedules are administered through personal interviews by enumerators, making the process more expensive but allowing respondents to be identified and ensuring complete responses. Questionnaires are generally self-administered, making the process cheaper but resulting in higher non-response rates and incomplete information. The document also provides guidelines for developing valid and reliable questionnaires and schedules, including question structure, sequence, pre-testing and measuring various types of validity and reliability.
Data Collection tools: Questionnaire vs ScheduleAmit Uraon

Questionnaires and schedules are commonly used methods for collecting primary data. Questionnaires involve sending a standardized set of questions to respondents to answer on their own and return. Schedules are similar but involve an enumerator personally collecting responses by asking questions directly and filling out the schedule. Both methods can be used for descriptive or explanatory research and involve designing valid and reliable questions, representative sampling, and defining relationships between variables. Questionnaires are cheaper but have higher non-response rates while schedules provide more complete information through personal contact but are more expensive due to field workers.
Questionnaire /Schedule design is a systematic approach/process of including relevant questions in a questionnaire in such a way that the best or accurate responses are obtained from respondent with very little / no discomfort on the part of the respondent as well as the enumerator.The most important part of the survey process is the creation of questions that accurately measure the opinions, experiences and behaviors of the target group. Questionnaire / Schedules design is one of the most critical stages in the survey research process and therefore has to be given the utmost attention. This power point presentation will guide you through schedules and questionnaire design.

Measurement & scaling ,Research methodologySONA SEBASTIAN
ย
Measurement involves associating numbers or symbols to observations in a research study. There are different types of measurement scales including nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio scales.
Nominal scales simply assign numbers or symbols to label elements without quantitative significance. Ordinal scales rank objects from largest to smallest but do not indicate the magnitude of differences. Interval scales assume equal units between numbers but lack a true zero point. Ratio scales have a true zero value and allow comparisons of differences between numbers through arithmetic operations.
Proper selection of measurement scales and techniques such as paired comparisons, ranking, rating, semantic differentials, and stapel scales depends on the characteristics and data type needed for the research.
The document discusses pre-testing a survey instrument by conducting a small pilot test of the questionnaire on a representative sample of respondents. This helps identify any errors or issues with the questions, format, or data collection before fully implementing the survey. The goals are to test question clarity, response strategies, and improve the survey based on feedback. The pre-testing process involves qualitative research methods like cognitive interviews to get detailed feedback to refine the instrument.
This document discusses various methods for collecting primary and secondary data. It describes observation, interviews, questionnaires, and schedules as the main methods for collecting primary data. It provides details on the types, advantages, and disadvantages of each method. It also discusses other techniques like surveys, audits, and panels. For secondary data, it notes that this involves using already available data from sources like governments, organizations, and past research. The key methods are summarized in 3 sentences or less.
The document discusses research design and provides details on different types of research designs. It begins by defining research design and outlines the key decisions that must be made, including what, where, when, how much, and how data will be collected and analyzed. It then discusses different types of research designs for exploratory, descriptive, diagnostic, and hypothesis-testing studies. Specific methods for qualitative and quantitative research designs are also outlined.
Survey research involves studying a representative sample of a population to make inferences about characteristics of the whole population. It is a technique used in social science research to study opinions, attitudes, and social facts. There are different types of surveys, including personal interviews, questionnaires, telephone surveys, and panel techniques. Personal interviews can be structured or unstructured, and they may involve individual or group interactions. Questionnaires use a predetermined set of questions to collect information through self-reporting. Telephone surveys are convenient but risk superficial answers. Panel techniques interview the same sample successively to understand changes over time but are prone to sample loss.
This document discusses the design and construction of questionnaires. It defines a questionnaire as a set of written questions related to a research topic that, when answered by respondents, provides data to complete a research project.

The document discusses different types of interviews that can be used for research data collection. It describes personal interviews, telephone interviews, focus group interviews, depth interviews, and projective techniques. Personal interviews involve face-to-face communication between an interviewer and respondent. They are generally structured with questions planned in advance. Telephone interviews collect information by asking respondents questions over the phone. Focus group interviews involve a moderator leading a discussion among a small group of respondents. Depth interviews are nondirective and give respondents freedom to answer openly. Projective techniques indirectly reveal responses through interpretation of ambiguous objects or activities.
The document discusses different scales of measurement proposed by Stanley Smith Stevens, including nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio scales. It then examines attitude measurement and different response types for measuring attitudes such as rating scales, ranking scales, categorization, and sorting. Key factors that influence selecting an appropriate measurement scale for attitudes include the research objectives, response types, number of dimensions, and whether responses involve forced or unforced choices.
This document discusses various techniques for scaling and measurement in marketing research. It describes four primary scales of measurement - nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio scales - and explains their characteristics. Comparative scaling techniques like paired comparisons and rank ordering are discussed as well as non-comparative techniques. Specific scaling approaches covered include Likert scales, semantic differentials, Stapel scales, and graphic rating scales. The document emphasizes that proper measurement and scaling are important aspects of the overall marketing research process.
Research identification of the problemGunjan Verma
ย
This document outlines the steps in the educational research process. It begins by defining research and noting that the first step is identifying and defining the problem. The key steps in identifying a problem are: selecting an area of interest; delimiting the problem by clarifying and limiting the scope; and evaluating whether the problem is researchable, new, significant, and feasible given the researcher's skills. Sources for identifying problems include personal experience, professional literature, contacts, suggestions, and social/technological changes. Once identified, the problem is further refined through operational definitions before hypotheses are formulated.
Data are numerical facts collected systematically for research purposes. Economists study phenomena and draw conclusions from collected data. There are two main sources of information: primary and secondary data. Primary data involves collecting original data directly from sources for a specific research purpose, such as through observation, interviews, questionnaires, or schedules. Secondary data refers to data that was originally collected by someone else for another purpose and has been published, such as government publications, journals, or reports.
This document discusses different scaling techniques used in research methodology. It defines scaling as assigning numbers or symbols to represent properties or characteristics. Scaling is important for research as it allows measuring attitudes and analyzing individual behavior. Common scaling techniques include ranking scales, rating scales, graphic rating scales, itemized rating scales, paired comparisons, and rank order methods. The document also discusses scaling construction techniques like arbitrary scales, differential scales, summated scales, and cumulative scales. It provides examples of using ranking and rating scales for preferences, performance evaluations, and assessments. The techniques have merits like standardization and insights but also limitations like inability to identify reasons for responses.
caling is the branch of measurement that involves the construction of an instrument that associates qualitative constructs with quantitative metric units. Scaling evolved out of efforts in psychology and education to measure โunmeasurableโ constructs like authoritarianism and self-esteem. In many ways, scaling remains one of the most arcane and misunderstood aspects of social research measurement. And, it attempts to do one of the most difficult of research tasks โ measure abstract concepts.
Most people donโt even understand what scaling is. The basic idea of scaling is described in General Issues in Scaling, including the important distinction between a scale and a response format. Scales are generally divided into two broad categories: unidimensional and multidimensional. The unidimensional scaling methods were developed in the first half of the twentieth century and are generally named after their inventor. Weโll look at three types of unidimensional scaling methods here:
Thurstone or Equal-Appearing Interval Scaling
Likert or โSummativeโ Scaling
Guttman or โCumulativeโ Scaling
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, measurement theorists developed more advanced techniques for creating multidimensional scales. Although these techniques are not considered here, you may want to look at the method of concept mapping that relies on that approach to see the power of these multivariate methods.
This document discusses different methods of measurement and scaling used in research. It describes four primary scales of measurement: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio scales. It also explains several types of attitude measurement scales used including Likert scales, semantic differential scales, Thurstone scales, paired comparison scales, and Stapel scales. These scales allow researchers to measure and analyze characteristics, rank and compare objects, and assess attitudes in quantitative studies.
This document outlines the steps for preparing a research report. It discusses including an introduction, objective methodology, summary of findings, main report with conclusions, and end matter with appendices, bibliography and index. The main text should present information in a logical sequence with sections. Charts and illustrations should only be used if they clearly present information. Calculated confidence limits and constraints must be stated. The purpose of the research report is to effectively communicate findings to others, as the research is not fully completed until the report is presented.

ReseQuantitative RESEARCH INSTRUMENT FOR DATA COLLECTIONarch ppIqra Shah
ย
Structured questionnaires and interviews are quantitative research instruments used to collect data. Structured questionnaires contain closed-ended questions with limited response options to standardize responses. They allow researchers to collect large amounts of data efficiently but don't explore complex issues well. Structured interviews follow a standardized set of questions but allow researchers to clarify understanding and obtain more detailed responses than questionnaires. Both methods produce reliable and comparable quantitative data but have limitations regarding response bias and depth of responses.

Schedules and questionnaire for data collection-Pragathi G SSundar B N
ย
Schedule is a structured set of questions used in personal interviews, while a questionnaire is filled out independently by respondents. Some key differences are:
- Schedules are filled out by enumerators during interviews, while questionnaires are filled out by respondents themselves.
- Response rates tend to be higher with schedules since enumerators can ensure all questions are answered, whereas respondents may not fully complete questionnaires.
- Schedules allow for gathering data from both literate and illiterate respondents, but questionnaires require literacy.
Research tool that becomes a means of collecting information for the study is called a research tool or a research instrument. For example, Inquiry form: questionnaires, opinionnaire, attitude scales, checklists, rating scales, scorecards and schedules.
This document discusses tools of assessment, specifically questionnaires. It defines a questionnaire as a series of questions given to an individual or group to obtain information on a topic. Questionnaires can be closed-ended, only allowing predetermined answers, or open-ended, allowing free responses. Well-designed questionnaires should be concise, clearly presented, and ask objective, non-leading questions in a logical order. While flexible, questionnaires also have limitations like potential bias and an inability to clarify responses. Care must be taken to use appropriate language, question level, sequence, and length when constructing effective questionnaires.

2. Schedule
๏ The term โscheduleโ will be used. It has a clear
meaning: the instrument used to gather survey
information through personal interview.
โQuestionnaireโ has been used to label personal
interview instruments and attitudinal or personality
instruments. The latter are called โscalesโ in this book.
๏ Schedule information includes factual information,
opinions and attitudes, and reasons for behavior,
opinions, and attitudes.
๏ an inexpensive way to gather data from a potentially
large number of respondents
๏ Comparatively an expensive way to gather data,
actually filled by the enumerators / researchers
responsible
3. How do schedules work
๏ A rather expensive method as enumerators do
not come cheap or research scholar expenses
often run high
๏ Schedules are filled by the enumerator /
researcher who can also interpret the question if
necessary
๏ Needless to say, the identity of the respondents
is known
๏ Information collection is both assured and
punctual
๏ Questionnaires and schedules are flexible in what
they can measure although they each have
shortcomings in certain genres of collection
4. Definition
๏ A questionnaire is a means of eliciting the
feelings, beliefs, experiences, perceptions, or
attitudes of some sample of individuals.
๏ As a data collecting instrument, it could be
structured or unstructured.
๏ An inexpensive way to gather data from a
potentially large number of respondents
5. Difference Between Questionnaire and Schedule
S.No Questionnaire Schedule
1. Questionnaire is generally sent through mail
to informants to be answered as specified in a
covering letter, but otherwise without further
assistance from the sender.
A schedule is generally filled by the research
worker or enumerator, who can interpret the
questions when necessary.
2. Data collection is cheap and economical as
the money is spent in preparation of
questionnaire and in mailing the same to
respondents.
Data collection is more expensive as money
is spent on enumerators and in imparting
trainings to them. Money is also spent in
preparing schedules.
3. Non response is usually high as many people
do not respond and many return the
questionnaire without answering all
questions. Bias due to non response often
remains indeterminate.
Non response is very low because this is
filled by enumerators who are able to get
answers to all questions. But even in this
their remains the danger of interviewer bias
and cheating.
6. Contโฆโฆ..
4. It is not clear that who replies. Identity of respondent is not
known.
5. The questionnaire method is likely
to be very slow since many
respondents do not return the
questionnaire.
Information is collected well in
time as they are filled by
enumerators.
6. No personal contact is possible in
case of questionnaire as the
questionnaires are sent to
respondents by post who also in
turn returns the same by post.
Direct personal contact is
established
7. Contโฆ
7. This method can be used only when
respondents are literate and
cooperative.
The information can be gathered even
when the respondents happen to be
illiterate.
8. Wider and more representative
distribution of sample is possible.
There remains the difficulty in sending
enumerators over a relatively wider area.
9. Risk of collecting incomplete and
wrong information is relatively more
under the questionnaire method, when
people are unable to understand
questions properly.
The information collected is generally
complete and accurate as enumerators can
remove difficulties if any faced by
respondents in correctly understanding the
questions. As a result the information
collected through schedule is relatively
more accurate than that obtained through
questionnaires.
8. Contโฆ.
10. The success of questionnaire methods lies
more on the quality of the questionnaire
itself.
It depends upon the
honesty and
competence of
enumerators
11. The physical appearance of questionnaire
must be quite attractive.
This may not be the
case as schedules are to
be filled in by
enumerators and not by
respondents.
12. This is not possible when collecting data
through questionnaire.
Along with schedule
observation method can
also be used.
9. Factors affecting
questionnaires
๏ Length of the questionnaire.
๏ Reputation of the sponsoring agency.
๏ Complexity of the questions asked.
๏ Relative importance of the study as determined
by the potential respondent.
๏ Extent to which the respondent believes that his
responses are important.
๏ Quality and design of the questionnaire.
๏ Time of year the questionnaires are sent out.
10. Types of questionnaires
๏ Open or unrestricted form - calls for free response
from the respondent
๏ There is predetermined set of response
๏ They provide true, insightful and unexpected
suggestions
๏ Allows for greater depth of response; is difficult to
interpret, tabulate, and summarize.
๏ An ideal questionnaire contains open ended
questions toward end of all questions
11. Closed or restricted form of
questionnaire
Offers respondents a number of alternative replies,
from which the subjects must choose the one that
most likely matches the appropriate answer.
๏ Characteristic of questionnaire
๏ Facilitates easy statistical calculation
๏ Provides easy preliminary analysis
๏ Can be asked to different groups at different
intervals
๏ Facilitates efficient tracking of opinion.
12. Types of closed form of
questionnaire
๏ Dichotomous questions: respondent to make a
choice between two responses such as yes/ no or
male/ female
๏ Multiple choice question: respondents to make a
choice between more than two response
alternatives
๏ Cafeteria questions :respondents to select a
response that most closely corresponds to their
view.
๏ Rank order questions โ Respondents to rank their
responses from most favorable to least favorable
๏ Contingency questions: A question that is asked
further only if the respondent gives a particular
response to previous question.
13. ๏ Rating questions: Respondent is asked to rate a
particular issue on a scale that ranges from poor to
good
๏ Likert questions: helps know how strongly the
respondent agrees with a particular statement.
๏ Bipolar questions: These questions have two
extreme answers his/ her response between two
opposite ends of the scale.
๏ Matrix questions: it includes multiple questions and
identical categories are assigned .questions are
placed along the top and list of questions down the
side
14.
15. Characteristics of a good
questionnaire
๏ Deals with a significant topic
๏ Seeks only that information which cannot be obtained
from other sources such as census data
๏ As short as possible, only long enough to get the
essential data.
๏ Attractive in appearance, neatly arranged, and clearly
duplicated or printed.
๏ Directions are clear and complete. Questions are
objective, with no leading suggestions to the desired
response
๏ Questions are presented in good psychological order,
proceeding from general to more specific responses.
๏ To easy tabulate and interpret.
16. Guidelines for preparing
questionnaire
o Prepared according with study objective
o Concise, precise and brief
o Criticism from faculty and class members
o Trailing the questionnaire with friends
o Respondents selected carefully
o As par as possible open ended questions should be
avoided
o Controversial and ambiguous questions should be avoided
o Getting permission in organization before administering
questionnaire
o Try to get the aid of sponsorship
o Mailed questionnaire should have introduction, purpose
and directions to fill the questions
o Abrupt ending of the questions and questionnaire should
be avoided.
17. Sequence of questions
๏ Arranged in logical sequence
๏ Answer to questions not influenced by previous
questions
๏ Questions should flow from general to more
specific
๏ Questions should flow least to more sensitive
18. Question construction
๏ The sample -- who are you going to ask
๏ The method--- how are you going to ask them
๏ The questionnaireโ what are you going to ask
them
๏ The result โ what will you do with information
๏ The cost โ how much do you want to pay for
answer
๏ The time scaleโ By them do you need information
19. Construction of questionnaire
Problem definition
Search for relevant secondary data for problem

and review personal experience with
colleques
Writing of specific research objectives
Listing of hypothesis to be tested

23. Validity of Research tool
๏ Validity of an instrument refers to the degree to
which an instrument measures what it is
supposed to be measuring
๏ Types of validity
๏ 1.Face validity: overlook of instrument regarding
its appropriateness to measure a particular
attribute or phenomenon
๏ 2.Content validity: Scope of coverage of the
content are to be measured
๏ 3.Criterion validity: Relationship between
measurements of the instruments with some
other external criteria
24. ๏ Predictive validity: degree of fore casting judgment
๏ Concurrent validity: it is the degree of the
measures at present.
๏ 4.construct validity: Gives more importance to
testing relationship predicted on theoretical
measurement.
25. โข Degree of
consistency and
accuracy with
which an
instrument
measures the
attribute for which
it is designed to
measure
Reliability
of the
tool
26. Test โRetest method
๏ Administration of a research instrument to a sample of subjects
on two different occasions
๏ Scores of the tool administered at two different occasions is
compared and calculated by using following formula of
correlation coefficient
๏ The correlation coefficient reveals the magnitude and directions
of relationships between scores generated by research
instrument at two separate occasions.
๏ Interpretation of resultsโ the results of the correlation coefficient
ranges between -1.00 through 0.0 and +1.00, and the results
are interrelated as follows
๏ +1,00 score---- perfect reliability
๏ 0.00 score ---- no reliability
๏ Above 7 indicates --- acceptable reliability
27. Split of method
๏ Divide items of a research instrument in two equal
parts through grouping either in odd number
question and even number question /first half and
second half item groups
๏ Administer two subparts of the tool
simultaneously, score them independently and
compute the correlation co-effcient on the two
separate scores
