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

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. https://www.google.com/search?q=telephone+survey&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=
X&ved=0ahUKEwi0vvOpuPHfAhVygUsFHURGDP4Q_AUIDigB&biw=1345&bih=648#i
mgrc=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.

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, https://www.google.com/search?q=online+survey&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&

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.

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…
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.
 What’s More “Let’s

What I Can Do

Directions: Suppose you are chosen as the youth representative of your

barangay and you are asked to introduce an advocacy on Covid-19 Youth
Empowerment. Decide how to find out the possible response of your community about
it. In order to determine the people’s attitude toward it, conduct an online survey by
framing a survey questionnaire. Consider the guidelines in constructing effective
questions in your five-question survey to administer in your respective barangay.
 What Is It

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.

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.
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.)

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/ Rating 1 2 3 4 5
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
Marijuana
Ecstasy
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?

2. Here are some open-ended questions. Write suggestions for each tick boxes. The
first one has been done as an example.
A. Which type of film do you like watching? Tick all that apply.
Horror
Comedy
Action/adventure
Cartoons
Drama
None of the above
B. The company is having a party. What type of food should there be?
C. What sports should the new sport center offer?
D. What electronic gadgets do you use?

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.

Number Tally Frequency

34 III 3 The tally column is filled
in as the survey is being
35 IIII 4
carried out. The
36 IIII IIII 10 frequency column is
completed by counting
37 IIII 5 up the tally marks at the
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.
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.

34 = 4 chocolates

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.
