GUIDELINES IN USING
QUESTIONNAIRES FOR
DATA COLLECTION
The proceeding slides contains the guidelines that you can
follow in using questionnaires for your data collection
procedure.
Guidelines in Using Questionnaires
• DECIDE ON THE METHOD OF ADMINISTERING THE
QUESTIONNAIRE
• Will you do it face-to-face or online? Use the face-to-face method if
you need to capture the non-verbal cues spontaneously displayed by
your participants as well as their emotions and behaviors. The online
method, on the other hand, involves the administering of
questionnaires through filling out web-based forms.
Guidelines in Using Questionnaires
• DRAFT YOUR QUESTIONNAIRE
• Divide your questionnaire into two or three parts:
• Personal Information Section – asks details about the participant’s
background which are relevant to the study.
• Main Section – lists the specific questions or indicators that are aligned
with the specific research questions.
• Open-ended Questions Section – asks additional information that may
not have been covered by the main section.
Guidelines in Using Questionnaires
• DRAFT YOUR QUESTIONNAIRE
• Align the indicators or questions to your SOP or objectives.
• Provide clear instructions for answering the questionnaire.
• Use routing if there is a need to skip some items in the questionnaire.
• When several related questions need to be asked, start with the general
question first before the specific one.
• Do not make an over lengthy questionnaire.
Guidelines in Using Questionnaires
• DRAFT YOUR QUESTIONNAIRE

inform you if there are items or features of the
questionnaire which can be a source of inaccuracy in
the data.
