SayPro CONSTRUCTION OF SCHEDULES AND QUESTIONNAIRES

Schedules and questionnaires are the most common instruments of data collection. These two types of tools have much in common. Both of them contain a set of questions logically related to a problem under study; both aim at eliciting responses from the respondents; in both cases the content, response structure, the wordings of questions, question sequence, etc. are the same for all respondents. Then why should they be denoted by the different terms: ‘schedule’ and ‘questionnaires’? This is because the methods for which they are used are different. While a schedule is used as a tool for interviewing, a questionnaire is used for mailing.This difference in usage gives rise to a subtle difference between these two recording forms. That is, the interviewer in a face-to-face interviewing fills a schedule, whereas the respondent himself fills in a questionnaire. Hence the need for using two different terms.The tool is referred to as a schedule when it is used for interviewing; and it is called a questionnaire when it is sent to a respondent for completion and return.Please visit our website at www.saypro.online Email: info@saypro.online Email: info@saypro.online Call: + 27 11 071 1903 WhatsApp: + 27 84 313 7407.
