Questionnaire Survey Methodology in Educational and Social Science Studies

Questionnaire surveys dominate the methodological designs

in educational and social studies, particularly in developing countries. It is conceived

practically easy to adopt study protocols under the design, and of course, most

researchers would prefer using questionnaire survey studies designed in the

most simple ways. Such studies provide the most economical way of gathering

information from representations giving data that apply to general populations.

As such, the desire for cost management and redeeming time have caused many

researchers to adapt, adopt and apply the designs, even where it doesn’t qualify

for the study contexts. Consequently, they are confronted by managing

consistent errors and mismatching study protocols and methodologies. However, the

benefits of using the design are real and popular even to novice researchers,

and the problems arising from the design are always easily addressed by experienced

researchers.
