3 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.
4. 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.
