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/ OBJECTIVES

DESCRIPTION
1. Survey Report It is written after getting To collect people’s responses
data from a survey. or answers about a particular
issue or topic
2. Laboratory or It is commonly called lab To present results or findings
Scientific report. It is written in a from experiments.
Technical formal and organized
Report manner.
3. Field Report It is sometimes called To describe and analyze a
trip report. 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
4
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.

&biw=1345&bih=648#imgrc=S3ggm17raBFcGM:
2. Self- administered Approach
In this type, the survey is administered by the researcher
himself/herself.
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.

Should and Not Should of a Survey 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…
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.
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
6
give the choices they look for. If this will not be observed, this will lead to an
abandoned questionnaire.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
1. 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.
7
2. 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.

WEEK 6
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.
8
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.

LESSON 3 GATHERING INFORMATION FROM SURVEYS

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.
https://www.statisticshowto.datasciencecentral.com/primary-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.
11
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.
Print Advertisement By word of mouth (friends,
families, etc.)
DSLU Website Telephone inquiry
DSLU Social Networking Physical appearance/ inquiry

page
Others, please specify:

4.Matrix questions
There are instances where a number of questions you intend to ask
have the same set of possible answers. Thus, it is possible to construct a
matrix of items and answers for the sake of streamlining the survey.
Example: Qualities of a Good Leader
Beside each of the qualities of a good leader, kindly indicate how well
the person in inquiry manifests the said quality with 1 being the lowest
and 5 as the highest.
Sample Matrix Question Set

Qualities/ 1 2 3 4 5
Rating
12
Integrity
Inclusiveness
Information-
Driven
Innovative
Shown above is a numerical scale (matrix).The respondents are

required to choose from a number of categories that determine their
preferences.
Another common scale is the Likert Scale which tries to assess the
subject’s agreement/disagreement or approval/ disapproval on a five point
scale-with one end being the most positive answer, and the other end being
the most negative answer. The categories correspond to the numerical
values 5,4,3,2,1, and are encoded as their numerical equivalent (Singh
2007,75). The total score per item is determined. From here, you formulate
your inference.
Example: Performance-Based Incentive System
The new performance-based incentive system encouraged me to work over-

time.
(5) Strongly Agree (4) Agree (3) Undecided (2) Disagree (1) Strongly
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
13
Marijuana
Ecstasy
0 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?

WEEK 7
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
15
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.
Number Tally Frequency

34 III 3 The tally column is filled
in as the survey is being
35 IIII 4 carried out. The
frequency column is
36 IIII IIII 10 completed by counting
up the tally marks at the
37 IIII 5 end of the survey.
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:
98 71 76 77 72 78 77 73 76 86
75 79 81 105 100 74 82 88 91 96
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.
16
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
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.
Number of Frequency Key

chocolate
buttons = 4 chocolates
34
Look at the key
35 to see what
36 each symbol
represents.
37
38
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.
Worked example

Sport 40
Science 20
Maths 30
Art 15

popular. Their results are shown in the frequency table.
Show this information on a frequency diagram.
17 The graph is

The bars are all the
same width and do not
touch. The height of

each bar represents

the frequency.
Frequency diagrams can also be used to display grouped data, such as the
ages of the residents in the care home.
As before, the
bars are all the
same width and
do not touch.
Frequency
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
35
30

Sports Science Math Art Languages
18
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.
Sport
The pie chart has a
Science
heading and a key,
Maths and each slice is
Art clearly labeled

19
The pie chart is divided into
slices, which are fractions of
the circle. The size of each
slice represents the
frequency, as a fraction of
the total number of students.

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.
25
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.
However, the United States maintains a first-to-invent policy. In view of this,
patent ownership can change depending on the country. Multiple patent
ownership can result in economic problems; however, most striking is the

Causes. That fact that United States does not recognize patent ownership in other
countries, in violation of the Paris Convention on Industrial Properties, has
prompted the World Intellectual Properties Organization (WIPO) to push the
United States to review its existing patent law principles.
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
26
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.”
27
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.”

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 proportion of, a significant number of, etc.
can also be used.
III. Useful language for reports:
To introduce: The purpose/aim of this report, As requested, This survey was
carried out/ conducted by means of…,the questionnaire consisted of etc.
To generalize: In general, generally, on the whole, etc.
To refer to a fact: The fact is that…, In fact, In practice, etc.
To conclude/ summarize: In conclusion, All things considered, To sum up, All in
all, It is not easy to reach any definite conclusions, If any conclusions may be drawn
from the data, It is clear that, The survey shows/indicates/demonstrates, etc.

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.
33
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.
