What Is It
Lesson 1: The Reports, Survey Questionnaire and Methods
of Administering It
The Various Kinds of Reports
Reports are more likely needed for business, scientific and technical subjects, and in
the workplace. They are of different types and they differ in their aims and structures.
TYPES DEFINITION/ DESCRIPTION
OBJECTIVES
Among these types of reports, survey is the most popularly and widely used as it is
the easiest way to gather information about any topic or issue from a big number of
people or groups.
Survey Questionnaire
It is a data gathering tool having set of questions used in a survey and is utilized in
various fields such as politics, research, marketing, media and so on. It is intended to
gather data, views, opinions and others from individuals or a particular group of
people.
It is an important method used in order to collect the necessary information that will
benefit the people and the community.
Methods of Administering a Survey
Administering a survey calls for a more systematic way in order to achieve the aims
of a certain survey conducted. The following methods are introduced by Sarah Mae
Sincero.
1. Personal Approach
This involves the person himself/ herself conducting the survey.
a. Face-to-face Structured Interview The interview is set personally and the people
involved face each other in order to gather the necessary information.
Questions on the survey are asked directly to the respondent by the researcher.
b. Telephone Survey
The survey is done using telephone or cellular phones. The calls are made to ask
individuals on particular questions. This method can be used for asking
consequential questions.
2. Self-administered Approach
In this type, the survey is administered by the researcher himself/herself.
c. Mail Survey
This popular tool requires an easy-administering of the survey where survey
questionnaires are mailed to individuals who are given enough time to read and
ponder on the information asked.

What I Can Do
Directions: Suppose you are chosen as the youth representative of your barangay
and you are asked to introduce an advocacy on Covid-19 Youth Empowerment.
Decide how to find out the possible response of your community about it. In order to
determine the people’s attitude toward it, conduct an online survey by framing a
survey questionnaire. Consider the guidelines in constructing effective questions in
your five-question survey to administer in your respective barangay.

LESSON 2
Conducting a Survey
A Survey is one of the best ways we will know and understand the people’s choices,
attitudes, or feelings on certain issues. We will be able to determine the reactions of
the respondents and based on the survey results, we could design some possible
actions to be best done, or a solution to a problem, or a remedy to a disease or an
answer to a question.

LESSON 3 GATHERING INFORMATION FROM
SURVEYS
https://www.statisticshowto.datasciencecentral.com/primary-The task of gathering or
collecting information or data from surveys requires a high level of knowledge and
skill. You need to be familiar with the different types of survey questions and learn
the art of formulating them before you can conduct the survey and actually gather
primary data. Primary data is data you as a researcher collect from first –hand
sources using methods like surveys, interviews, or experiments. data-secondary/
What is It
Types of Survey Questions
1. Open-ended questions
These types of questions do not have predetermined options or answers. The
respondents are allowed to answer the questions freely. Responses must be
recorded verbatim-especially because coding and analysis will rely on the subject’s
exact responses. Open-ended questions often need probing or follow-up questions
to clarify certain items in the subject’s response. These question typically ask the
“how” and “why” of something.
Example: Why did you choose to vote for candidate X? Kindly explain.
2. Dichotomous Questions
Dichotomous questions have two possible answers, often either yes/no, true/false, or
agree/ disagree. These questions are used when the researcher wants to clearly
distinguish the respondent’s opinion, preference, experience or behavior.
Example: HIV/AIDS is transmitted through saliva:
True
False
3. Multiple–response questions
There are certain questions that necessitate the respondents to provide more than
one answer. For example, a typical advertising survey would ask the question, “How
did you find about the particular service or item”? A respondent may have
encountered more than one of the probable ways.
Example: How were you able to know about the graduate program of Development
Policy offered in De La Salle University? Check all that applies.

(4) Agree
(3) Undecided
(2) Disagree

5. Contingency Questions
Contingency questions are intended for certain respondents only, depending on the
provided answers. A familiar example would be a follow-up question provided after a
respondent agrees to a certain item. A respondent is asked whether they used any
illegal drugs or substances. Only those who answered yes are required to answer
the succeeding items.
Example:
4. Have you ever tried any illegal drugs and/or substances?
Yes No
4.1 If yes, what illegal drugs and/or substances have you used? Check all that apply.
Crystal Meth
Cocaine
Heroine
Marijuana
Ecstasy
Others, please specify:__________________
Points to remember in crafting survey questions
1. Keep the questionnaire as short as possible.
2. Ask short, simple, and clearly worded questions.
3. Start with demographic questions to help respondents get started comfortably.
4. Use dichotomous (yes/no) and multiple choice questions.
5. Use open-ended questions cautiously.
6. Avoid using leading-questions. Make your question ask for the other person’s opinion.
Do not make it clear what your own opinion is. (this would be called a biased
question or a leading question).
A bad example would be: Fishing is a very cruel pastime. Do you agree?
A better question might be: Do you think that fishing is a cruel pastime?
A) strongly agree
B) agree
C) neutral
D) disagree E) strongly disagree
7. Pre-test a questionnaire on a small number of people.
8. Think about the way you intend to use the collected data when preparing the
questionnaire.
What’s More
Activity 3.1 : Answer the following questions on crafting survey questions
1. Which of these questions are leading questions?
A leading question is one that leads the person answering it towards a particular answer.
a. Do you agree with the majority of people that bank workers earn too much?
b. How has this course improved your English?
c. Do you smoke?
d. Do you agree that giving your child a bottle is a really bad idea?
e. How many times in the past week have you travelled by bus?
f. How many TV sets do you have in your house?
g. Do you agree that eating chocolates raises your IQ?
2. Here are some open-ended questions. Write suggestions for each tick boxes. The first
one has been done as an example.
A. Which type of film do you like watching? Tick all that apply.
Horror
Comedy
Action/adventure
Cartoons
Drama
B. The company is having a party. What type of food should there be?
C. What sports should the new sport center offer?
D. What electronic gadgets do you use?
E. Give your opinion on the bus service in town.

What I found out:
What’s New
What is It
According to Cambridge International Organization, data can be organized in several
ways. Which method is chosen depends largely on the type of data being collected.
A simple way of recording the results is by constructing a tally and frequency table.
For example, a survey is carried out to test the manufacturer’s claim that there are
‘about 36 chocolate buttons in each packet.’ The number of buttons in each of 25
packets is counted, giving the figures below.
35 36 34 37 36 36 38 37 36 35 38
3
35 36 36 34 37 38 37 36 35 36
4
3
37 36
6
Displayed as a list, the numbers are not clear, however, they are easier to analyze if
they are recorded in a tally and frequency chart like this.
34 III 3
35 IIII 4
36 IIII IIII 10
37 IIII 5
38 III 3
Sometimes if there is a big range in the data, it is more useful to group the data in a
grouped frequency table. The groups are chosen so that no data item can appear in
two groups.
For example, the ages of 30 residents in a Home for the Aged are shown below:
9
71 76 77 72 78 77 73 76 86
8
7
79 81 105 100 74 82 88 91 96
5
8
90 97 102 83 101 83 84 80 95
5
Constructing a tally and frequency table with a list of individual ages will not be very
useful as most ages in the range will only have one or two results. Grouping the data
into the age ranges 71-80, 81-90, etc. produces this more useful table.
91-100 llll l 6
100-
lll 3
110
The ages could have been grouped 71-75, 76-80, 81-85, etc. The group size is the
decision of the person collecting the data, but it is important that the groups are all
the same size and do not overlap.
Displaying data
Once the data has been collected, it can be displayed in several ways. Which
method is chosen depends on the type of data collected and the audience it is
intended for. One of the simplest and most effective is to use a pictogram.
This method uses pictures to represent the frequency. The chocolate button data
can be displayed on a pictogram like this, using one circle to represent one
chocolate button.
Number of chocolate
Frequency
buttons
34
35
36
37
38
Sometimes one symbol represents more than one item. In the pictogram below,
each circle represents four chocolates and fractions of a circle represents smaller
amounts.
Probably the most common way of displaying data is the bar graph or frequency
diagram. It is quick and easy to draw, and straightforward to understand.
Subject Frequency
Sport 40
Science 20
Maths 30
Art 15
Languages 15
Total 120
Worked example
A school of 120 students carry out a survey to see which subjects are most popular.
Their results are shown in the frequency table.
Show this information on a frequency diagram
Frequency diagrams can also be used to display grouped data, such as the ages of
the residents in the care home.
In frequency diagrams and bar line graphs, each frequency is represented by the
height of a bar or line. Another way of displaying data is on a pie chart. On these,
each frequency is represented by a fraction of a circle.
Worked example
Look again at the data about students’ favorite subjects. Show this information on a
pie chart.
● First you need to express the frequency of each subject as a fraction of the total number
of students
Sports is 40 = 1 of the total
120 3
Science is 20 = 1 120 6
To draw the pie chart without a protractor, an understanding of fractions helps. For
example, Sport and Science together represent half of the total, and Maths, Art and
Languages represent the other half of the total.

mental-h ealth-condition
2018 College Student Health Survey of University of Minnesota Twin CitiesThe
number of students coming to college with a mental health condition continues to
increase, with nearly half of all female students reporting a diagnosis in their lifetime.
The (UMTC) students found a 29 percent increase in mental health conditions
among students since 2015.
The survey, directed by Boynton Health, is intended to identify health issues
affecting UMTC students so University officials can be responsive to their needs and
create a healthier campus environment.
“We have a profound opportunity to positively influence the health of young adults in
college,” said Maggie Towle, interim vice provost for Student Affairs and dean of
students. “Graduating from college is a key barometer of future health, including a
better job, higher wage and the resources for good health. The College Student
Health Survey helps us bring focus and attention to the most pressing health
concerns of our students.”
the surveyIn addition to the mental health findings, found an increase in students
experiencing sexual assault and, for the first time, collected information about sexual
harassment.
Mental Health
In 2018, 42.2 percent of students reported a mental health diagnosis in their lifetime,
a 29.1 percent increase from 32.7 percent in 2015. The increase was particularly
significant for female students, with nearly half (48 percent) reporting a mental health
condition in their lifetime compared to 39 percent in 2015.
Consistent with past surveys, anxiety (32 percent) and depression (27 percent) are
the most frequent conditions stated.
“As student mental health needs grow, we have to ask what resources will be
needed to keep pace,” said Gary Christenson, MD, chief medical officer, Boynton
Health. “The scale of our campus puts us in a better position to provide students a
range of resources. But all colleges and universities are struggling to keep up. Our
survey should be a clear sign to policymakers, mental health professionals and
public health experts that we urgently need to identify public health approaches to
promote good mental health.”
Stress
Unmanaged stress can have serious health consequences, including what appears
to be an association between unmanaged stress and higher rates of mental health
conditions.
Based on the survey results, more than two in five (42 percent) students were unable
to manage their stress. Among these students, 14 percent were diagnosed with
depression in the last year. Compared to students who manage their stress, only 6
percent were diagnosed with depression.
Students who reported three or more stressors engage in more risky behavior,
including higher tobacco and marijuana use, high-risk drinking, and higher credit
card debt compared to students who reported fewer stressors.
The factor students are most likely to say affects their academic performance is
stress.
“College can be stressful and students do not necessarily seek help to cope with
stress,” said Patricia A. Frazier, PhD, associate chair of the Department of
Psychology. “To succeed academically, students need a variety of tools to help them
learn how to manage stress.”

Directions: Write in the fruit of the tree (apple) the word/words associated with the
word survey.
Survey
The term refers to a formal piece of writing based on research. When reporting the
results of a survey, the figures gathered should be given in the form of percentages
and proportions.
Survey
Is a method of collecting information or data in which people self-report their own
opinion/behaviors in response to the questions
The purpose(s) of writing a survey report is to study a research topic thoroughly, and
to summarize the existing studies in an organized manner. It is an important step in
any research project
.
Steps in writing a Survey Report
1. Break the report into separate sections with heading. Survey reports usually use
headings for each section.
2. Write a 1-2 page executive summary paraphrasing the report.
3. State the objectives of the survey in the background section.
4. Provide background information by explaining research and studies.
Tips in conducting a successful Survey
1. Make sure that every question is necessary.
2. Keep it short and simple.
3. Ask direct questions.
4. Ask one question at a time.
5. Avoid leading and biased questions.
6. Speak your respondent’s language.
7. Use response scales whenever possible
8. Avoid guiding grids or matrices for responses.
A Survey Method is the technique of gathering data by asking questions to people
who are thought to have desired information. A formal questionnaire is prepared.
Generally a non-disguised approach is used. The respondents are asked questions
on their demographic interest or opinion.
Guidelines for Writing the Survey Report

Fast-food Addiction
A.
It is no secret that the US is leading the world in its swelling obesity. The nation is
subsisting on a diet of high-calorie convenience food. In fact, Americans have
increased their spending on fast-food items from Ṩ 6 billion to Ṩ 160 billion
Annually over the past four decades. What may Come as a shock, however, is the
accumulation of evidence suggesting that the main ingredients in the typical
“hamburger, fries and a cola” are addictive compounds that keep customers lining up
for their next fix.
The key culprits are sugar and fat. Empirical studies reveal that the heavy dosage of
these substances in today’s super-sized standard of a fast-food meal can trigger
brain activity similar to that endured when a person is on hard drugs. A
representative individual serving McDonald’s or Burger King can dish out up to 2000
calories, including more than a cup of sugar and 84 grams of fats.
Single-handedly, this meal sized portion meets the full daily caloric requirement for
the average woman. Moreover, it exceeds the recommended daily allowances of
both sugar and fat for any adult, regardless of gender.
Whereas herein is an opiate, both sugar and fat stimulate endogenous opioids such
as beta-endorphins in the hypothalamus, just above the brain stem. These naturally
occurring painkillers activate the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter, into a
small cluster of cells located in the midbrain called the nucleus acumens. Here,
dopamine functions to elicit feelings of pleasure or euphoria. What’s more, it
motivates an individual to proactively repeat any action that originally fuelled its
production. In the case of sugar and fat, purported addiction is a consequence of the
body craving the release of dopamine inherent in their consumption.
To validate reports that fat and sugar behave in a drug-like fashion, researchers
have conducted laboratory studies demonstrating that they induce classic addictive
symptoms. For example, eliminating sugar from the nutritional regime of rats that are
used to a primarily sweet diet produced anxiety asymptomatic of heroin and nicotine
withdrawal. Moreover, increased tolerance to addictive food substance was noted. In
one experiment, rats were fed a chocolate drink containing a high ratio of both fat
and sugar . Although the animals were found to ingest increasing amounts of the
potent liquid, their total production of resulting brain opiates was, in fact, diminished.
This would suggest that the rodents had become progressively more tolerant to the
effects of fat and sugar. Furthermore, it is likely they would subsequently require a
greater quantity in order to achieve the same high.
Likewise in humans, brain-imaging scans of obese and non-obese persons illustrate
that the heftier the individual, the fewer dopamine receptors are present.
Researchers are uncertain whether this is the basis or the outcome of obesity.
However, it is clear that as weight rises, individuals need to consume increasingly
larger portions to experience a comparable euphoric effect.

Survey of Academic and General Reading in English
On 8th February 1999, a survey was conducted among 16 overseas postgraduate students at
the University of England. The purpose of the survey was to discover the reading habits in
English of the students.
The survey was conducted by means of a questionnaire given to the students to complete. The
first part of the questionnaire dealt with the type of reading and its frequency. The second
section was concerned with newspapers: the type of items read and those that were read first.
From the table of data, the most significant items are as follows. In the first section 81% of
the students regularly read academic books" while 44% regularly read academic journals.
Nothing else is read regularly or often by 40% or more of the students. The following
comments can be made about the reading of newspapers, magazines and fiction. 75%
sometimes read regional or local newspapers, 69% sometimes read books of fiction, 62%
sometimes read general magazines, and 56% sometimes read national daily newspapers. On
the other hand, 37% never read Sunday newspapers and 31% never read fiction.
In the second section, not surprisingly, 100% read news about their own country in
newspapers and 56% read this first. 94% read international news, 25% read this first. 81%
read about Britain and look at radio and TV information. The only other item that is usually
read by more than 50% of the students is current affairs (read by 56%).
If any conclusions may be drawn from the data, they are, perhaps, as follows. Overseas
students presumably have little time for general reading: most of their reading time is spent
on books and journals on their own subject. Outside their studies, apart from reading news
about their own country, international news, and news about Britain, they probably spend
most time watching TV and listening to the radio.
