In this session, we all learnt how to conduct a survey professionally.
Survey is basically some statistics that is put together through questionnaire, and is then visually represented in different forms. It can also be called as a field of applied statistics.
Following are the type of questionnaire one can ask in order to conduct a survey i.e., to collate the data and put it together through visual representations :-
- Basic Information –
- Name
- Age
- Locality
- Occupation
- Awareness –
- type of question that would tell you whether the person is aware of the issue or not. If yes, what do they know about it.
- you can ask them their opinion on the topic.
- Do they identify it as a problem
- Daily life related questions –
- this includes about what do they do in their daily life that somehow, directly or indirectly contributes towards the issue.
- Their contribution on a larger extent
- Their feedback on the issue
- Impact of whatever they have done or seen.
These question are not to be asked directly, there are types to do so:-
- Objective questions (yes/no)
- Rate questions (0-10)
- Choices (any number of choices)
This would make it easier for you to collate the data/statistics later.
Now, after the answers the above questionnaire are found, they need to be represented visually. There are different ways of representing these statistics :-
- Bar graphs
- Pie charts
- Histograms
