Methods of Administering a Survey

Administering a survey is a systematic way of achieving certain goals. The following
methods are introduced by Sarah Mae Sincero (2012).
1. Personal Approach
This process of conducting the survey involves the researcher. It is used to probe
the answers of the respondents and at the same time, to observe the behaviour of
the respondents, either individually or as a group.
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 respondents.
b. Telephone Survey
3|Page
The survey is done using telephone or cellular phones. The calls are made to
ask individuals about certain questions. This method can be used for asking.
2. Self – administered Approach

In this type of approach, the survey is administered without the actual presence of the
researcher and the respondents are expected to accomplish the survey Independently.
a. Paper – and – pencil Survey

This is a traditional method of administering a survey which entails that
respondent be or are accompanied by someone who is computer literate.
b. Online Survey
This is a useful technique especially for studies which include many respondents
from different locations. This is used to gather information from respondents who
live in different areas. This enables all participants to answer through different
online platforms.
c. Mail Survey
4|Page
This popular tool requires an easy – administering of the survey where
survey questionnaires are mailed to individuals who are mailed to individuals who
are given enough time to read and ponder on the information asked.
Dos and Don’ts 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

understand it thoroughly and be motivated to complete it. Therefore, a questionnaire… (Mora,
May 11, 2016)
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 be given five ranking options at most so that they will not
be tired of choosing from a lot of options which do not give the choices they are
looking for. It 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 with choosing answers.
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 comfortable answering.
5. Should provide appropriate time reference.

Respondents could not easily recall past experiences and be doubtful as to the
exact measurement or time they spent.
5|Page
6. Should have a clear question structure.
Survey questionnaire should follow 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 in unreliable gathered data.
7. Should not include personal or embarrassing questions.

Questions should be gender and culture sensitive so that the respondents may not
feel awkward or embarrassed in giving their responses.
8. 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.
9. 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.
