How to Design a Questionnaire?

HOW TO DESIGN QUESTIONNAIRE?

BY PROF.M.S.RAO, ACADEMIC GUIDE, ICFAI UNIVERSITY, INDIA

When my Research Guide Dr.D.M.Khandare asked me to prepare a questionnaire for my PhD work I got bit nervous and confused for some time. I read number of questionnaires in my life but designing the same related to my PhD topic created jitters in my mind. I further requested him to teach me the methodology in designing the questionnaire. He was kind enough to guide me and he also advised me to refer number of sample questionnaires so as to form a firm format. I sincerely obeyed like a disciplined soldier and referred various formats from books and from various websites.

Questionnaire is the heart of any research topic. It helps in fulfilling the objectives of the concerned study or topic. If it is designed in haste entire research activity goes awry. As long as the questionnaire is framed properly, the desired goals and objectives can be achieved successfully. There are several tools and techniques involved in designing the questionnaire. They are briefly explained below:

TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES IN DESIGNING:

• At the beginning address the participants or state the reasons for conducting study.

• Assess the maturity level of the respondents and format it accordingly.

• The language must be simple and straight and free from jargon.

• It should be in tune with the ideals and ideas of the study.

• Personalize the questionnaire.

• Your questionnaire should not only be easier and it should appear to be easier.

• Imaginative and innovative thinking is essential. It should be a running draft in active voice.

• There should be close ended questions to start with. Ice breaking questions will smoothly navigate the respondent to the topic.

• The questions should not be threatening and too much personal in nature.

• Leave adequate space for offering comments.

• There should be smooth transition from question to question and logical connectivity.

• Create curiosity and generate enthusiasm for the respondent.

• It should stand out from the pack of cards.

• Be creative and novel in design. And make it convenient in designing the questionnaire. Highlight keywords in the questionnaire in bold, italics or underline so that the respondent can catch it faster and save his time.

• Contents of the questionnaire are more important than the length. It becomes stressful for the respondents to answer lengthy questions.

• Offer options like ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ or ‘True’ or ’False’ or ‘Right’ or ‘Wrong’ or ‘Like’ or ‘Dislike’ and so on.

• Offering multiple choices for each question will encourage the respondent.

• Glide the respondent gradually into open ended questions to elicit the hidden data of communication. Encourage the respondents to open up in depth to get effective results.

• Design the questions creatively and constructively so that maximum information can be obtained. The questions can be questioned by posing from both positive and negative side of the topic so that at the end of the session. You can cross check whether the responses are consistent or if there is any contradiction. In case if contradiction is noticed then the responses can not be taken as correct. Such methodology will make the research work free from errors and foolproof.

• Create a wonderful title to motivate for active participation.

• Do not design too many questions as it decreases the interest levels.

• Enclose a self addressed and stamped envelope if the questionnaire is to be mailed.

• Highlight 5 dimensional approach 5W’s – why, what, where, when and who.

• Create questions by ranking in the scale of 1 to 5 from either the least to the most required or vice versa.

• Create a conservational tone.

• Use ‘you’ not third person. By this, you can personalize the questionnaire.

• Use emotions like we all want to feel greater, better, bigger etc. All these things will connect your questionnaire to the respondents and then slowly get the responses for the study.

• Remove repetitions.

• The flow of the questionnaire should be smooth and natural.

• Read, reread and change the design and ultimately you will have the best questionnaire. Lot of spade work, rework and redrafting is essential.

• At the end, ask for any suggestions or improvements related to the topic.

• Thank the respondents at the end of the questionnaire.

ROLE OF RESEARCHER:

Make the respondent comfortable and convince him to attempt. Be personally with them to clarify if any doubts or queries. Encourage them to fill the questionnaire instantly so as to get spontaneous responses. Tell respondents that there is fun in responding the questionnaire.

POST QUESTIONNAIRE RESPONSE:

Thank all respondents for their valuable contribution to your research work. Provide them non financial incentives like gifting either key rings, or stationery items of daily utility, chocolates etc., it will not only motivate them but also create everlasting memorable impact in their minds.

MESSAGE:

Designing questionnaire initially looks tiresome for fresher and when once tuned to designing then you will find it interesting and entertaining. It is a great mental and creative activity and it teaches many lessons in life.

His first design was modest, but by 1445 was intended to be a magnificent display of royal patronage. There were to be a Provost and seventy scholars, occupying a substantial site in central Cambridge whose drastic clearance involved the closure of several streets. The college was granted a remarkable series of feudal privileges, and all of this was supported by a substantial series of endowments from the King.King Henry VI had admired the achievements of William of Wykeham , who had founded the twin colleges of New College, Oxford (King’s College’s Sister College ) and Winchester College in 1379.

Bio-Linguistics: The Santa Barbara Lectures $66 Is human language an evolutionary adaptation? Is linguistics a natural science? These questions have bedeviled philosophers, philologists and linguists from Plato through Chomsky. Prof. Givón suggests that the answers fall naturally within an integrated study of living organisms.In this new work, Givón points out that language operates between aspects of both complex biological design and adaptive behavior. As in biology, the whole is an adaptive compromise to competing demands. Variation is the indispensable tool of learning, change and adaptation. The contrast between innateness and input-driven emergence is an interaction between genetically-coded and behaviorally-coded experience.In enlarging the cross-disciplinary domain, the book examines the parallels between language evolution and language diachrony. Sociality, cooperation and communication are shown to be rooted in a common evolutionary source, the kin-based hunting-and-gathering society of intimates.The book pays homage to the late Joseph Greenberg and his visionary integration of functional motivation, typological diversity and diachronic change.

Bioinformatics: Problem Solving Paradigms $69.95 There are fundamental principles for problem analysis and algorithm design that are continuously used in bioinformatics. This book concentrates on a clear presentation of these principles, presenting them in a self-contained, mathematically clear and precise manner, and illustrating them with lots of case studies from main fields of bioinformatics (e.g. sequencing and mapping, string storage and manipulation, pattern matching, alignment, gene identification, genome rearrangement, structure prediction, regulatory networks, pseudoknot detection). Emphasis is laid on algorithmic “pearls” of bioinformatics, showing that things may get rather simple when taking a proper view into them. The book closes with a thorough bibliography, ranging from classic research results to very recent findings, providing many pointers for future research. Overall, this volume is ideally suited for a senior undergraduate or graduate course on bioinformatics, with a strong focus on its mathematical and computer science background.This book highlights basic paradigms of problem analysis and algorithm design in the context of core bioinformatics problems. Mathematically demanding themes are put across to the reader by properly chosen representations with the aid of lots of illustrations. (Prof. Dr. Amitava Datta, UWA, Perth, Australia)Written by a theoretical computer scientist, the book perfectly complements standard textbooks from the point of view of problem solving methods continuously applied in bioinformatics.(Prof. Dr. Georg Fuellen, Univ. Greifswald, Germany)

Electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) for biochemical applications: Particle manipulation for separation in droplet microfluidics. $49.99 The strong trend towards point-of-care health services and personalized medicine in recent times has drawn great research interest in microfluidics technologies for portable, powerful and low-cost diagnostics. Due to its simple design, low power consumption and reconfigurability, droplet microfluidics driven by non-mechanical actuation, such as that enabled by electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD), has many advantageous features for a “lab-on-a-chip”.;The objective of this research was to identify and address challenges towards applying EWOD for biochemical applications. The major part of this dissertation is devoted to combining particle manipulation techniques with EWOD for effective separation of the target species, a critical step in many if not most biochemical assays.;Two powerful techniques have been used in this work for particle manipulation on EWOD. Magnetic manipulation is a simple, specific, powerful and inexpensive technique which can be performed with just a simple permanent magnet. Although commonly used in clinical labs and even continuous microfluidics, utilizing superparamagnetic microparticles (magnetic beads) on a droplet microfluidics platform posed a few challenges due to the difference in the force scenario because of the fluidic interfaces present with droplets. The key elements of this difference were identified, and techniques for effective utilization on EWOD in the presence of the differences were developed.;The second particle manipulation technique integrated with EWOD was the optoelectronic tweezers (OET), an exciting technology that can apply optically controlled dielectrophoretic force on specific particles. Optically controlled individual particle manipulation at a tiny fraction of optical power required by optical tweezers is the unique feature of this technology developed by Prof. Ming Wu’s group at University of California, Berkeley. Integrating OET with EWOD opens up tremendous possibilities, particularly for isolated single-cell
