Some of the aims and objectives of schedule are as follows:

1. Aids to delimit the scope of the study.
2. Acts as a memory in tickler.

4. Standardized device.
1) AIDS TO DELIMIT THE SCOPE OF THE STUDY:

The schedule always focuses on a definite item in inquiry, single

and isolated subject, rather than a subject in general. The
researcher asks about out one item and writes down answers

• Another objective of schedule is to act as a memory tickler.

In interview, the interviewer has to ask a wide range of
questions to the respondent. While doing this he may forget
to ask about some important aspects of the research problem
and then may require going for the whole process again to
collect that missing information.
3) HELPS IN CLASSIFICATION AND
ANALYSIS :

• Another objective of schedule is to help in the

work of tabulation classification and analysis. In
case of narrative interview, the interviewee
provides the information in a story form.
4) STANDARDIZED DEVICE :

• Schedule also provides a standardized device for observation

and interview. In a structured schedule every responded gives
reply to the same question, put in the same language, in the
same sequence. So the entire process of interview on
observation takes place under standardized conditions.
