4.2.1 Surveys and questionnaires

• A survey is a broad method of gathering information from a sample of people using a series of questions
• Closed questions require participants to select from predefined answer choices.


  True
• Open questions are harder to analyze but provide detailed insights.


  True
• Order the characteristics of surveys and questionnaires based on flexibility:

  1️⃣ Surveys are more flexible

  2️⃣ Questionnaires are more structured
• Match the survey question type with its advantage:

  Closed questions ↔️ Easy to analyze

  Open questions ↔️ Provides detailed insights

  Likert scale questions ↔️ Captures range of opinions
• Questions in a survey should be unambiguous and easy for participants to understand
• Arrange the following sampling techniques from most unbiased to least unbiased:

  1️⃣ Simple Random Sampling

  2️⃣ Systematic Sampling

  3️⃣ Stratified Sampling

  4️⃣ Cluster Sampling

  5️⃣ Convenience Sampling
• Convenience sampling has a high risk of bias.


  True
• Closed questions require participants to select from predefined answer choices.


  True
• Both surveys and questionnaires allow researchers to gather data efficiently from a large number of participants
• Closed questions are easy to analyze but provide limited detail
• A survey is a broad method of gathering information, while a questionnaire is a specific type of survey using written questions.

  True
• Multiple choice questions may not cover all possible responses.


  True
• Why is designing effective survey questions crucial in physical education research?

  To collect high-quality data
• Match the type of survey question with its description:

  Closed-ended ↔️ Provide predefined response options

  Open-ended ↔️ Allow free-form responses

  Multiple Choice ↔️ Offer a set of response options

  Likert Scale ↔️ Measure agreement or satisfaction
• Cluster sampling is efficient for large populations
• What is a common goal of both surveys and questionnaires?

  Gather data efficiently
• What are the four main types of survey questions used in physical education research?

  Closed, open, multiple choice, Likert scale
• Which type of survey question provides a set of choices for participants to choose from?

  Multiple choice
• Questions in surveys should be unambiguous and easy for participants to understand
• Closed-ended survey questions provide predefined response options
• Match the sampling technique with its description:

  Simple Random Sampling ↔️ Each member has an equal chance of being selected

  Systematic Sampling ↔️ Every kth member is selected

  Stratified Sampling ↔️ Population is divided into subgroups

  Cluster Sampling ↔️ Randomly selects entire clusters
• When analyzing survey data, descriptive statistics like mean, median, and mode are calculated.
• Closed questions require participants to select from predefined answer choices
• Likert scale questions ask participants to rate their level of agreement or satisfaction
• What type of language should survey questions avoid to ensure neutrality?

  Biased language
• What type of survey question allows participants to describe barriers to physical activity in their own words?

  Open-ended
• Which sampling technique selects participants based on their availability and accessibility?

  Convenience sampling
• Questionnaires are a specific type of survey that uses written questions to collect data.

  True
• Match the survey question type with its characteristic:

  Closed questions ↔️ Easy to analyze

  Open questions ↔️ Provides detailed insights

  Likert scale questions ↔️ Captures range of opinions

  Multiple choice questions ↔️ Convenient for respondents
• Likert scale questions can be subject to response bias
• Open questions allow participants to answer freely without fixed options
• Effective survey questions should be unambiguous and easy for participants to understand
• Survey questions should avoid biased or leading language.


  True
• What is an advantage of simple random sampling?

  Unbiased
• Match the term with its definition:

  Survey ↔️ Broad method of gathering information

  Questionnaire ↔️ Specific type of survey using written questions
• What does a Likert scale measure in survey questions?

  Agreement or satisfaction
• Open questions allow participants to answer freely without fixed options.


  True
• What is a disadvantage of open questions in surveys?

  Harder to analyze
• Questions in a survey should be directly relevant to the research objectives.
