Survey Analysis Worksheet
As a sociologist, it is important to be able to describe various ways surveys are used in research, and to understand how to create viable surveys.
You will cite two scholarly sources, including the textbook to answer the following prompts.
Topic : Surveys
Use the following situation to answer the following prompts:
A local middle school principal wants to know more about the demographics of the students attending her school so she can create more relevant after-school social programs, tutoring programs, and music programs that meet her students' needs.
To gather data, the principal wants to create a survey for the families of all students attending her school
She is assuming that the survey would be mailed to the parents of each child, but you have cautioned her that this may not be the best way to deliver the survey.
Citing the text and one other sourceabout mail surveys, explainwhat the drawbacks of a mail survey would be.(50-75 words)
Citing the text and one other sourceabout this kind of survey, if you were advising the principal, explain what type of mode of deliveryof the survey you would recommend to gather this information and why. (50-75 words)
Citing the text and one other source about this kind of survey explain what type of methodology this survey uses. (50-75 words)
Imagine you are going to use the mode of delivery for the survey research you recommended to the principal. Write a sample question suitable for that mode of survey delivery. Be sure that it meets the qualifications discussed in the section titled Writing Survey Items in the text.
Suppose that to save time and money, you recommend delivering the survey to only some of the families who have children attending the school.
How would you go about sampling to get a representative sample of families? Why would you use this type of sampling and not some other type? What size sample would be adequate if you learn that there are 300 different families who have children attending this school?
What ethical issues do you anticipate in this survey, and how will you address them?
