What do we need to know when we take a questionnaire / survey? 1.What is a questionnaire / survey? 2.Why and when to use a questionnaire / survey? 3.What types of questionnaires / surveys are there? 4.How do you present and conduct a questionnaire / survey?

1. What is a Questionnaire / Survey? A set of written questions requiring a written response which describes past behaviors, the user expectations, attitudes and opinions towards the system.

2. Why use a questionnaire / survey? Advantages:  Gain information from a first hand source to support or diffuse an argument.  Cheap and easy to apply to samples of users.  Quickly provide both quantity and quality in data. Disadvantages:  Questions are fixed  The evaluator cannot control the situation or manner in which the questionnaire is answered.  Misunderstanding of the sample may produce wrong results.

When to use a questionnaire / survey.  Assessing the publics opinion on certain topics.  Measure subjective responses in an experimental context.  Check acceptance of issues and topics within normal operating conditions.

3. Types of questionnaires / surveys.  Face to face  Telephone  Group  Mail /  Informal / conversational  General  Standardized, open-ended  Closed, fixed response

Types of formats for questions.  Open ended questions  Multiple choice  Checklists  Rating scales  Nominal or grade scales  Rankings  Discrete numerical scales  Comparison scales  Statement rating scales  Graphical scales (continuous rating scales)

4. How to present and conduct a questionnaire / survey?  Types of topics used in questionnaires and surveys. 1. Behaviors 2. Opinion/values 3. Feelings 4. Knowledge 5. Sensory 6. Background

A few little pointers  Be sure the questions are clear and understandable.  Double negatives should never be used.  Questions should be worded positively.  Avoid lengthy questions. The shorter the better.  Questions should be neutral so they do not imply a “correct” answer.
