2ND_Quarter_Week 4_(Mini Survey) Activity

My Reflection

Based on the topic, I have learned that mini-survey may help me in:

1.       To have an idea to design the next stages of my research.

2.       Assessing the viability/feasibility of my project.

3.       Get a response from the respondents/participants.

4.       Evaluating my projects.

I can do mini-survey by:

1.       Having a clear objective

I have to know what I want to find out and why I want to find it. In doing so, I can figure out the technique I can use to achieve it. After doing this, I will then ask myself about the effects that the study will bring to the certain discipline/field that I’m doing.

By having a clear objective, I can have a concrete plan and guide on what I can do to achieve them. Also, having a good grasp on the possible effects it can do on the certain field I am researching will give me the determination to accomplish the research at a much sooner date.

2.      Gathering existing data that are related and relevant to my research as a basis for improvement

I can use previous researches as a basis for my survey questions. I can take them apart accordingly to create something new that will benefit my study. I can learn from past mistakes and successes as long as I am willing to look into them.

3.       Choosing the Respondents

I have to determine whether I will use the population as a whole or a sample from the group as my study’s respondents. I will do this by first determining the scale of my study. If the number of the population is too high, I will then take samples as respondents. However, if surveying the whole population is feasible (if they are small in numbers), I will use it.

4.       Developing the Questions

After taking the previous steps into action, I will now create the questions for the respondents. Here, I have to take into consideration the information about my respondents. In doing so, I can write appropriate questions depending on which context they belong to.
