Evaluation of Survey carried out in college

Evaluation Of Survey

·        I constructed a quantitative questionnaire, made around 20copies total and handed half to my class and the other half to random students I found around the college

·        The results of this survey are to me unsatisfactory.

·        This is simply because these results are neither valid nor reliable.

·        This is due to:

Ø The small sample number

Ø Sample members are young adults who were at the time playing around so may have not answered seriously. Hence affecting the relevance of the information.

Ø Some of the questions themselves were invalid.

If I did this again I might

·        Reword the questionnaire to make it easier to understand and prior to sending it out test it out on close friends and/or family members.

·        Self-presentation- The best one would professional, so people are more likely to take this seriously

·        Check appearance and general ‘air’ of target(s) before approaching as well as the state of their environment—the best one would be a professional environment

·        Change methodology perhaps to qualitative or use both

·        Give survey directly to people who might be interested (e.g. outside cinemas)(Target Audience)

·        Explain purpose of questionnaire (context)

·        Be clear in your questions(clarity)
