Introductory Message

For the facilitator:

Welcome to the English for Academic and Professional Purposes on CONDUCTS

SURVEYS, EXPERIMENTS OR OBSERVATIONS FOR A REPORT. This module was
collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators from Schools
Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Officer-In-Charge Schools Division
Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin in partnership with the Local
Government of Pasig through its mayor, Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto.
The writers utilized the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the Most
Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) while overcoming their personal, social,
and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners
as they do the tasks included in the module.

RECAP

We have learned that a questionnaire is a research instrument

consisting of a series of questions for the purpose of gathering information
from respondents. Questionnaires can be thought of as a kind of written
interview. They can be carried out face to face, by telephone, computer or
post.

Questionnaires provide a relatively cheap, quick and efficient way of

obtaining large amounts of information from a large sample of people. Data
can be collected relatively quickly because the researcher would not need to
be present when the questionnaires were completed. This is useful for large
populations when interviews would be impractical.

LESSON

A survey report is a document whose task is to present the information

gathered during the survey in an objective manner. It presents a summary of

7
all the responses that were collected in a simple and visually appealing
manner.

A survey report is a type of academic writing that uses research to

provide information about a topic. It involves questions that are formulated
based on the research objective, to be answered by respondents and later
analyzed using appropriate data analysis methods. Survey reports involve
report writing which is a very important element of the survey research
process.

To be able to disseminate the information from the survey, you need to

have good writing skills. Without good writing skills, the survey report is at
risk of being misrepresented or not explained well. When this happens, the
objective of the survey is not achieved, for it is the aim of survey reports to
present the survey data in a manner that is engaging and understandable to
various readers.

It is one thing to create a survey report, but another to create a good

survey report. Therefore, we have prepared a guide to assist you in writing
your next report.

Here are the 5 main steps you need to follow to conduct a good survey
report.

1. Create a Questionnaire

Every survey report requires a survey Hence, the first thing you need
to do is to create a survey or questionnaire that will be used to carry out
your survey.

The responses received from the questionnaire will determine the

final outlook of the survey report . However, there are a few important
things you need to consider before creating a questionnaire for your survey
report.

2. Collect Data

After determining how to create a questionnaire for your survey,

the next thing to do is create the questionnaire and start collecting
data.

3. Analyze Data

Before writing a report from the data collected during your

survey, you need to simplify it for better understanding. This will make
it easy to write a survey report for the data collected and for other people
to understand the data.

4. Analyze and Interpret

8
 After exporting the data, you analyze it. Data analysis involves
breaking data down into simpler terms, identifying similarities,
grouping and interpreting them.

There are different methods of data analysis that can be used in

analyzing the data collected from your questionnaire before
interpretation .

5. Write Survey Report

After successfully analyzing and interpreting your data, it is ready

to feature in your survey report. At this stage, all you need to do is plug
and play because everything you need has been prepared in the
previous steps.

To further make your survey report writing process easier, it is

advised that you follow a pre-designed template that is tailored to the
type of survey under consideration.

The report follows a standard organization, with different

sections, headings, subheadings, etc. It is usually created at the end of
a survey (i.e. after constructing and gathering responses). Survey
reports are an integral part of the research, and it is very important that
you always represent accurate data in your report.

Many believe that a scientist’s most difficult job is not conducting

an experiment but presenting the results in an effective and coherent
way. Even when your methods and technique are sound and your notes
are comprehensive, writing a report can be a challenge because
organizing and communicating scientific findings requires patience and
a thorough grasp of certain conventions. Having a clear understanding
of the typical goals and strategies for writing an effective lab report can
make the process much less troubling.

The traditional experimental report is structured using the

acronym “IMRAD” which stands for Introduction, Methods, Results and
Discussion. The “A” is sometimes used to stand for Abstract. For help
writing abstracts, please see Sweetland’s resource entitled “What is an
abstract, and how do I write one?”

1. Introduction: “What am I doing here?”

The introduction should accomplish what any good introduction

does: draw the reader into the paper. To simplify things, follow the
“inverted pyramid” structure, which involves narrowing information
from the most broad (providing context for your experiment’s place in
9
 science) to the most specific (what exactly your experiment is about).
Consider the example below.

2. Methods: “Where am I going to get all that coffee…?”

A “methods” section should include all the information necessary for

someone else to recreate your experiment. Your experimental notes will
be very useful for this section of the report. More or less, this section
will resemble a recipe for your experiment. Don’t concern yourself with
writing clever, engaging prose.

3. Results: The only thing worth reading?

The “results” section is the place to tell your reader what you
observed. However, don’t do anything more than “tell.” Things like
explaining and analyzing belong in your discussion section. If you find
yourself using words like “because” or “which suggests” in your results
section, then STOP! You’re giving too much analysis.

A good example: “In this study, 50% of subjects exhibited

symptoms of increased anger and annoyance in response to hearing
Celine Dion music.” (Appropriate for a “results” section—it doesn’t get
caught up in explaining WHY they were annoyed.)

4. Discussion: “What does it all mean?”

The “discussion” section is intended to explain to your reader

what your data can be interpreted to mean. As with all science, the goal
for your report is simply to provide evidence that something might be
true or untrue—not to prove it unequivocally.
