Self-Completion Questionnaire Design
Research Design and Methods RCH 5301
Unit III Assignment
This self-completion questionnaire measures your mastery of ULOs 4.1 and 4.2.
Self-Completion Questionnaire
For this assignment, you will create a self-completion questionnaire for the quantitative research project of interest you described in the Unit II discussion board. As discussed in the Unit III study guide, a self-completion questionnaire should be comprised of three parts: 1) the cover, 2) the instructions, and 3) the survey items. Construct these three parts by responding to the following prompts:
Part 1 The Survey CoverSelf-Completion Questionnaire Design
· State the problem(s) to be solved.
· Describe the population of interest.
· Explain how you would determine sample size.
· Define the sampling frame.
· State the sampling design. (i.e., type of sampling)
· Explain if the survey will be cross-sectional or longitudinal.
· Detail how the surveys will be distributed and collected upon completion.
2 The Survey Instructions
· Create clear and unambiguous survey instructions for participants, in familiar language, that explain how to complete the questionnaire.
Part 3 The Survey Items
Self-Completion Questionnaire Design
· Formulate eight closed-ended survey questions, using a Likert scale of your choosing, that would help solve your problem(s) when answered.
· Include a minimum of four closed-ended demographic questions.
Please thoroughly address all areas listed above and use APA-compliant headings and sub-headings that align with the individual assignment prompts. Respond to the prompts in the same sequence they are requested above and do not combine elements within a section.
For guidance, refer to the sections on Survey Instrument Design and Advice for Survey Construction in the Unit III study guide. The survey that is developed should appear professional and in a format that would be suitable for distribution to participants.
Your assignment should consist of a minimum of two pages in length. No references are required unless information is quoted or paraphrased.
