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

1. Survey Report It is written after getting data from a To collect people’s responses or

topic
2. Laboratory or Scientific It is commonly called lab report. It To present results or findings from

manner.
3. Field Report It is sometimes called trip report. To describe and analyze a
systematic observation.

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.

i
 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 https://www.google.com/search?

q=telephone+survey&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi0vvOpuPHfAhV
In this type, the survey is administered by the researcher himself/herself.
ygUsFHURGDP4Q_AUIDigB&biw=1345&bih=648#imgrc=S3ggm17raBFcGM:

a. Paper- and - pencil Survey

This is a traditional method wherein the respondents who usually preferred the manual method must be present in the administration of
the survey.
b. Online Survey
Also called internet survey, is one of the most famous sources of data collection, where a set of survey questions is sent out to
respondents and the members of this sample can respond to the questions over the internet. Respondents receive online surveys in
various ways such as email, embedded over website, social media or forms.
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.

Questionnaire
Concise and easy to understand questions lead to a successful survey. Thus, a well -designed survey questionnaire will
ensure an effective data and information gathering.
A survey questionnaire should be well – constructed so that the respondents could read carefully and understand thoroughly
and be motivated to complete it. Therefore, a questionnaire…
1. Should use words that have clear meaning.
The questions should not be vague and difficult to comprehend so that the questionnaire will not be left unanswered.
2. Should cover all possible options.
The respondents should just be given at most five ranking options and should cover all so that they will not be tired of choosing a lot of
options which do not give the choices they look for. If this will not be observed, this will lead to an abandoned questionnaire.

3. Should not ask two or more questions in one sentence.

The question should focus on one topic or item at a time so that the respondents will not be confused which to answer and what to
choose.
4. Should provide an out- option.
The survey should give the respondents the option to choose “Does not apply “ or “None” for questions they do not feel answering.
5. Should consider appropriate time reference.
Respondents could not easily recall past long experiences and be doubtful as to the exact measurement or time they spent.
6. Should have a clear question structure.
Survey questionnaire should follow the three parts: the question stem, additional instructions and response options so that the
respondents will not be confused what to answer or choose. This will result to unreliable gathered data.
7. Should have open specific response options.
The respondents should be guided on what to choose. So the survey should provide specific options to choose from so that
respondents will not be confused in answering.
8. Should not have any bias or prejudice.
Questions should be objective and lead to an honest answer. The respondents should not be lead to a biased option that they may fail
to give their truthful response.
9. Should not include too personal or too embarrassing questions.
Questions should be gender and culture sensitive so that the respondents may not feel awkward or embarrassed in giving their
responses.
10. Should avoid double negative questions.
Double negatives may occur when respondents are asked of their agreement on a certain issue. This should be avoided so that the
respondents ‘response will be clear and precise.
11. Should outline instructions or directions clearly and understandably.
Clear instructions will lead to positive, appropriate and clear answers. If respondents are clearly asked and told what to do, they will
also foster positive attitude towards answering the questionnaire.

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.

THREE STEPS IN CONDUCTING A SURVEY

There are three steps in conducting a survey.

1. Decide on a four or five option survey question. Then make a tally chart having its heading and appropriate title.
The question should follow the guidelines of making an effective survey question. Formulate questions that address to the aim and need of the
research. The question should be clear, concise and efficient. The heading and the title should reflect the focus of the survey.
2. Conduct a survey then tally all the answers.
In conducting a survey, ethics should be observed. You should be polite and show respect to the respondents. You should maintain a friendly
atmosphere so that respondents may not feel so intimidated. Make sure all answers are noted. Plan for a more systematic way of tallying.
3. Count the answers marking the item having the least to the greatest tallies. Then make a graphic representation of the results.
Be careful in tallying so you should observe accuracy and honesty. Results can be presented using any graphics. Most commonly used are charts
and organizers. Choose the most appropriate graphics that best represent the result of the survey.

NOTE: When you will conduct a survey, you should write a letter of consent. In the letter you should also emphasize that the information given by the
respondents/ participants will be held with utmost confidentiality. If the respondent is a minor, prepare an assent
Informed consent" is the voluntary agreement of a person, or the representative, who has the capacity to give consent, and who practices free power
of choice to involve in research. "Assent" is a term used to show willingness to participate in survey by persons who are too young to give informed
consent but who are old enough to understand the proposed survey in general. Assent by itself is not enough, however. If assent is given, informed
consent must still be acquired from the parents or guardian

Assessment

LESSON 4. DISSEMINATING INFORMATION FROM SURVEYS

What do you do with the data or information you have collected after
conducting your survey? Information or data gathered from surveys should be properly organized before it could be
disseminated.

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
34 35 36 36 34 37 38 37 36 35 36
36 37 36

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.

 85 90 97 102 83 101 83 84 80 95

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.

Age Tally Frequency

71-80 llll llll ll 12
81-90 llll llll 9
91-100 llll l 6
100-110 lll 3

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 buttons Frequency

34

36

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.

Number of chocolate Frequency Key

34 = 4 chocolates

35 Look at the key

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.

Maths 30

Frequency diagrams can also be used to display grouped data, such as the ages of the residents in the care home.

As before,

An alternative to a frequency diagram is a bar-line. Instead of bars, lines are drawn to represent the frequencies.
The height of each line indicates the frequency.
The data about students’ favourite subjects can be shown on a bar-line graph like this.

Favorite Subject
 45
40

Sports Science Math Art Languages

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

Maths is 30 = 1 of the total

120 4

And Art and Languages are 15= 1 each.

120 8
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.

The pie chart has a

LESSON 5
Summarizing Findings and Executing The Report Through Survey

A component of summary of the findings is to provide a discussion for each of the findings, using anchor verbiage
that justifies rather than distorts the intent of the findings. Tells us how the findings are important or relevant based on the
aim and scope of your study.

A summary is a synthesis of the key ideas of a piece of writing, restated in your own words – i.e., paraphrased. You
may write a summary as a stand-alone assignment or as part of a longer paper. Whenever you summarize, you must be
careful not to copy the exact wording of the original source.

Summarizing teaches students how to discern the most important ideas in a text, how to ignore irrelevant
information, and how to integrate the central ideas in a meaningful way. Teaching students to summarize improves their
memory for what is read. Summarization strategies can be used in almost every content area.

Due to clarity demand, summary of findings must contain each specific question under the statement of the problem
and must be written first to be followed by the findings that would answer it.

The findings should be textual generalizations, that is, a summary of the important data consisting of text and
numbers.
How to Write a Summary
Preparing to Write : To write a good summary it is important to thoroughly understand the material you are working
with. Here are some preliminary steps in writing a summary.
1. Skim the text, noting in your mind the subheadings. If there are no subheadings, try to divide the text into sections.
Consider why you have been assigned the text. Try to determine what type of text you are reading with. This can
help you identify important information
2. Read the text, highlighting important information and taking notes.
3. In your own words, write down the main points of each section.
4. Write down the key support points for the main topic, but do not include minor detail.
5. Go through the process again, making changes as appropriate.

Writing the summary:

When writing the summary there are three main requirements:

1. The summary should cover the original as a whole.

2. The material should be presented in a neutral fashion.
3. The summary should be condensed version of the material, presented in your words.

- also do not include anything that does not appear in the original. (Do not include your own comments or evaluation.)

- be sure to identify your source

Sample Summary:

In his paper “Global Implications of Patent Law Variation,” Koji Suzuki (1991) states that lack of
consistency in the world’s patent law is a serious problem. In most
of the world, patent ownership is given to the inventor that is first to file for a patent.

Sample Survey Report 2

Rising number of college students report mental health condition

https://twin-cities.umn.edu/news-events/rising-number-college-students-report-mental-health-condition
 The 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  2018 College Student Health Survey of
University of Minnesota Twin Cities  (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.”

In addition to the mental health findings, the survey  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.”

SURVEY
Survey report 

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

1. Value Communicated
Objective, accurate and honest presentation of facts and results
2. Basic Content
a. May consist of eyewitness accounts of first – hand information.

HOW TO WRITE A SURVEY REPORT

A survey report is a formal piece of writing based on research.
I - Structure
Introduction
State the purpose/aim of the report, when and how the information was gathered.
Main Body
All the information collected and analyzed is presented clearly and in detail (break down the respondents into groups
according to sex, age and place of residence, state the main differences between groups). Subheadings, numbers or letters
can be used to separate each piece of information.
Conclusion
Sum up the points mentioned above. If necessary a recommendation can be included as well (one way of summing up is
making some general comments).

II . Useful hints and phrases:

Present Tenses, Reported Speech and an impersonal style should be used in survey reports. Use a variety of reporting
verbs such as claim, state, report, agree, complain, suggest, etc.
When reporting the results of a survey, the figures gathered should be given in the form of percentages and proportions.
Expressions such as “one in four” or “six out of ten” can be used, or exact percentages e.g. 25% of the people questioned,
68% of those who filled in the questionnaire, etc. Less exact expressions such as: the majority of those questioned, a large

Sample 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.
