Step 1: Survey Design
- Choose Your Target Population & Topic:
- Identify a group of interest (e.g., social work clients, community service users, caregivers).
- Define a clear research objective or question that your survey will address.
- Develop the Survey Instrument:
- Include at least 10 survey items: Your items can use a mix of formats, such as Likert scales, multiple choice, ranking, etc.
- Question Clarity: Ensure that each question is clearly worded, unbiased, and directly related to your research objective.
- Introduction: Write a brief introduction that explains the purpose of the survey, assures confidentiality, and provides basic instructions.
Step 2: Post your survey to the discussion board
Step 3: Critique Three Surveys
- Provide constructive feedback to three of your classmates:
- List 3 Strengths: Identify three elements of the survey that are particularly effective and explain why.
- List 3 Areas for Improvement: Suggest three specific ways the survey could be improved and explain why.
- Make sure your feedback is directly connected to the content from the textbook and powerpoint this week
- Feedback Format:
- Write your critique in a structured format (bullet points or a numbered list) to clearly distinguish strengths and improvement suggestions.
- Include brief explanations for each point.
Deliverables:
- Survey Instrument Document: A complete survey including an introduction, at least 10 survey items, and item rationales.
- Peer Critique Responses: Three discussion board replies to your classmates' surveys with three strengths and three suggestions for improvement each.
