MKB2705: Research Methods and Analysis Workshop 5 \& Mini-task #4: Questionnaire and Form Design; Sampling Procedures The topic for this workshop discussion is to develop your skills on the process of designing a good questionnaire and the sampling of respondents. Prior to this Workshop, it is expected that you have completed reading of the suggested pre-class and in-class study materials. For completion of workshop 5 activities and submission of mini-task #4, you are advised to refer to the brief on Research proposal guidelines. This workshop aims at providing hands on guidance on finalising the design of your questionnaire that you will be attaching with your research proposal as an appendix. The workshop will also provide you an opportunity to conduct a pretest of your questionnaire so make sure to bring a copy or bring your survey link. By now, you have finalised your research objectives and formulated two hypotheses. You are suggested to refer to the information needs of each objective and determine the type of survey method that is appropriate for data collection and the type of sampling procedure that you will apply. Remember, the type of interviewing method influences the content of individual questions and also may impact the type of respondent that you can recruit. Every question in a questionnaire should contribute to the information needed. Your questionnaire has to include a measure of satisfaction. Based on the above, you are suggested to develop a draft questionnaire that will cover the information needs of each objective and hypothesis prior to attending this workshop. You can draft your questions in Google Forms by using and modifying (your new copy of) the example provided in the forum link in the workshop in week 3. Your tasks for Mini task # 4: 1. Write a short introductory statement inviting the respondents to participate in this research. This can be prepared in your word processor and printed to pdf as usual when submitting your mini task answers. The introduction needs to match the questionnaire content under 2. Once you have completed this task you can also copy the introduction to the top of your draft questionnaire in Google Forms. 2. Develop your draft questionnaire. The questionnaire needs to address the information needs of each objective and the hypotheses that you have formulated to conduct this research. Once you have created your questionnaire in Google Forms you need to print your questionnaire (from the form edit window) to a pdf document in order to next be able to attach it as a copy of the questionnaire for your submission of this mini-task. (Hints: As explained in the lecture, the introductory 'warm up' questions should be using nominal scales while for attitudinal and satisfaction questions you should develon statements and use a 5 point Likert scale (a type of non comparative itemised rating scale) or use a 5 point semantic differential (bipolar) scale. Refer to examples | provided in the lecture slides and the textbook. The demographic questions or the classification information should be placed at the end of your questionnaire. The questionnaire should take no more than five minutes to complete.)
