- Survey Methods: Traditional methods include mail, telephone, face-to-face, paper-and-pencil, and online surveys. Each method involves unique features, and respondent interaction differs depending on the chosen approach.
- Interview Types: Face-to-face structured interviews gather personal information directly between the interviewer and interviewee. Phone surveys use telephones to collect data, while questionnaire-based methods depend on self-reporting.
- Questionnaire Design: Questionnaires should avoid vague or complex wording, ensure clarity of meaning, and offer a variety of options when appropriate. Questions must be clear, avoid ambiguity, and provide opportunities for respondents to adequately answer without doubt.
- Question Structure: Survey questions must be appropriately worded, so respondents understand the request and can recall experiences and time accurately. Question types should be considerate of cultural sensitivity and personal privacy.
- Survey Title and Heading: A survey's title and heading should succinctly clarify the topic and focus of the survey.
- Data Analysis Method: To assess data accurately, survey data should be tabulated and categorised. Results are best reported using numerical order or descriptive labels to help interpret data.
- Report Formats: A survey report is a standard way to compile and detail the findings of the survey, using formats like lab reports and field reports. Examples include trip reports and field reports.
