Given the nature of original research, a unique survey form must be developed for
each research project. The nature of study and the setting in which the data will
be collected will influence the design and structure of the data recording form or
questionnaire, however the following general principles should be considered:
1. The title of the study should appear on top of survey form, clear and
sufficiently detailed to inform collaborators of the general purpose of
the survey, e.g., temporal relationship of events to facilitate communication
with the respondent.
2. Question must be clearly worded, straight forwards and necessary, initially
it is useful to list all of the variables.
3. Question should be grouped according to subject matter or other log.
4. Asking question correctly is as much an art as it is a science. Avoid policeman's
questions, e.g., are you hungry, respondent may answer 'yes' or no rather than what food
have taken today.
5. Use proper terminology.
6. Questionnaires differ according to single respondent, focus group discussion, etc.
And lastly, I am busy with the studies I am undertaking.
