QUESTIONNAIRE
A questionnaire is a research instrument consisting of a set of questions used to collect information from respondents. It can include open-ended and closed-ended questions. Questionnaires were developed in 1838 and collect both qualitative and quantitative data. They are effective tools for measuring attitudes, beliefs, and intentions of large groups. Questionnaires are advantageous because they are inexpensive, generate a lot of data easily, and allow anonymity. However, they also have disadvantages like potential for dishonest answers, fatigue, and difficulty interpreting open-ended responses. Good questionnaires have a clear sequence of questions, uniform formatting, an exploratory nature, and are easy to understand.

This is to describe in an easy way the advantages and disadvantages of four main ways to research different topics for different uses.
Conducting a survey
This document provides guidance on conducting surveys through questionnaires. It discusses the different types of surveys, including self-completed questionnaires, telephone surveys, and face-to-face interviews. It outlines the nine key steps to conducting a survey: deciding what information is needed, who to survey, the survey method, sample size, writing questions, testing questions, conducting the survey, analyzing results, and reporting findings. It also provides tips for writing effective questions, including using both open-ended and closed-ended questions, and sequencing questions logically and presenting questionnaires clearly.
3 questionnaire
This document discusses the purpose and types of questionnaires. It explains that questionnaires are forms used to collect responses to questions from a sample of people. There are different types of questions like closed-ended and open-ended, and questions can collect facts or opinions. Properly designing questionnaires is important, including clear instructions, question order, and coding responses for analysis. Questionnaires can efficiently collect standardized information from many people but also have limitations like potential bias and unreliable responses.
Tools and Instruments in Research
This document discusses various tools and instruments used in research such as questionnaires, interviews, observation, and their characteristics. Questionnaires can be used to collect data from a large number of people and provide quantifiable answers but require less time than interviews. Interviews are conducted face-to-face but allow both written and oral collection of information, including confidential details. Observation requires the researcher to participate directly in the culture being studied. The validity and reliability of different research tools is also important.
Audience Feedback Techniques
The document discusses different techniques for collecting audience feedback, including qualitative and quantitative data collection. It outlines the advantages and disadvantages of using social media comments, questionnaires, interviews, and existing comments/ratings. Some key techniques mentioned are using open-ended questions to gather qualitative data, closed questions for quantitative data, video/audio recordings for honest reactions, and analyzing existing platforms like YouTube for music video audience feedback. The document aims to help determine the best techniques for different types of feedback collection.
Q3 media a2 evaluation
The student conducted a survey to understand audience preferences for their documentary. Questions asked about gender, preferred documentary genres, and desired codes and conventions. The majority preferred archive footage and interviews.
The student analyzed the results to select a genre and incorporate interviews. They also gathered peer feedback on draft tasks and the documentary through printed materials and interviews. This feedback helped identify improvements and ensure the products met audience needs.

Lesson 3
The document discusses how to identify reliable sources on the internet. It states that all students should be able to identify reliable sources, most students should also be able to explain why they are reliable, and some students should be able to teach others how to identify reliable sources. It provides examples of web address endings that indicate a reliable source such as .com, .org, .co.uk, .gov, and .ac.uk. Unofficial websites without these endings may be unreliable because they could be biased or outdated. Students are asked to evaluate website reliability based on these criteria.
Lesson 2
The document provides guidance for students on setting up email accounts and using email collaboratively. It instructs students to set up a Google email account, add contacts to their address book, and use email to research online safety topics and communicate with other students. Students will then work collaboratively in groups of three via email to create an online safety leaflet. They are directed to divide up topics, share mind maps of ideas via email, and provide feedback on the lesson in their learning journal.
Lesson 1
This document outlines key points about e-safety for students in Year 8:
Most students will understand their rights and responsibilities related to e-safety online. Some will be able to advise others about online risks and where to find support. E-safety involves staying safe online, knowing what information is appropriate to share, and understanding that anything posted may remain on the internet permanently. Students have a right to privacy and protecting personal information online.
Hypothesis presentation.
A hypothesis aims to be proven or disproven through research. If the information collected agrees with the hypothesis, then it is proven as true. However, if the data does not align with the hypothesis, then it has been disproven as false. The research determines whether the hypothesis is supported or contradicted by the evidence.
Presenting information presentation.
This document discusses different ways to present information visually, including tally charts, key points, bar charts, line graphs, and percentages. Tally charts can record responses to questions, using lines to show answers. Key points from sources should be highlighted and condensed into bullet points. Bar charts or line graphs can then display tallied answers or trends over time. Percentages can also represent parts of a whole, such as the proportion of people answering a question in the same way.
Hypothesis task presentation
The document discusses hypotheses and how to research them. A hypothesis is a statement that can be proved or disproved through research techniques like questionnaires, interviews, and analyzing newspapers/magazines. Examples of hypotheses given are that all people over 12 own mobile phones and that mobile phones are dangerous to health. The document also covers keywords, wildcards, and advanced searches to help narrow down search results on the internet.
Reliability presentation
The document discusses factors that determine the reliability of a website, including the URL extension (.gov, .edu, etc.), date of last update, presence of ads, and design quality. A reliable site will have a recent date, minimal ads that don't sway opinions, and clean design without errors or broken links. The URL extension can also indicate if the site is associated with a trustworthy source like the government or an educational institution.
Which search technique presentation
This document discusses search techniques used to find information. It provides 4 examples of search queries and asks the reader to identify the technique being used in each case and explain the key points and usefulness of the technique. The examples include queries about football vs rugby, a misspelled city name, college vs sixth form, and a name with a wildcard character.
Search engines and techniques presentation
The document discusses effective internet search techniques. It explains that search engines like Google, Bing and Ask Jeeves can be used to research topics. Boolean operators, keywords, wildcards and advanced searches are presented as techniques to refine searches. Boolean operators use logical terms like "and", "or" and "not". Keywords search for specific words while wildcards use symbols to replace letters. Advanced searches provide more details to narrow results. The number of search "hits" indicates relevance, with fewer hits being more relevant.
Fact or opinion presentation
The document provides examples of statements and asks the reader to identify whether each one is a fact or opinion. It contains statements such as "We are in a school", "August follows July", "Earth is a planet, not a star", and "It is a long way to Germany from here" and asks the reader to justify labeling each one as a fact or opinion. The purpose is to have the reader practice distinguishing facts from opinions.
User guide
This is a short user guide presentation to inform the user how to use my website and the information included in it.
Fact or opinion presentation
Validity refers to how well a test measures what it claims to measure. Reliability is about a test consistently measuring something in the same way. Bias can occur when a test is designed or used in a way that is unfair to certain groups and favors others.

Gathering information presentation.
- 2. Look at the different ways information can be gathered and pick out the key points.
- 3. There are a number of different ways in which you can gain information and opinions from a number of different sources. Information can be collected from: ◦ Questionnaires ◦ Interviews ◦ Newspapers/Magazines ◦ Internet
- 4. Through using questionnaires to gather information this allows you to collect people’s opinion on the topic you are researching. A questionnaire contains a list of questions and prompts you want to ask your participants. Questionnaires can bring back statistical answers so that they can be portrayed in graphs and tables. ◦ Example: 40% of people say they own a mobile.
- 5. Interviews are real life conversations between you and the respondent. Questions asked in an interview can be both open and closed depending on the type of answer you are looking for. ◦ Open questions are used to find out more information about their opinions. ◦ Closed questions are used to find out whether they agree or disagree with a answer.
- 6. The internet has a wide range of information on it which can be very useful when researching a specific topic. When using information off the internet it is important to check that the website is reliable and the information your reading is relevant to your chosen topic.
- 7. Newspapers and magazines can provide you with real life issues based on your topic. These can be used as evidence when proving or disproving you hypothesis.
