Applied research is intended to provide practical information to organizations to suggest actions or increase effectiveness. It uses theory instrumentally to identify concepts and variables that will produce practical results. Evaluation research assesses the impact of programs, policies, or laws, often focusing on whether the intervention succeeded in creating intended changes. Different types of evaluation research include outcome evaluation, cost-benefit analysis, process evaluation, formative analysis, and needs assessments. Careful research design is needed to make causal claims about a program's effects. Participatory action research involves community members in the research process. Politics and organizational interests can influence evaluation findings and their use.

Reading Assignment
Chapter 5: Survey Research: Questionnaires
Chapter 6: Survey Research: Interviews and Telephone Surveys
Unit Lesson
As we learned in previous units, there are multiple ways to collect the data. One of the most popular methods
of collecting data is survey research. This widely used technique allows the researcher to collect a variety of
information from study participants, regardless of whether the identity of the participants is known.
Questionnaires, interviews, and telephone surveys are three primary forms of survey research.
Questionnaires
There are many ways to develop a questionnaire. However, there are some rules and guidelines that exist to
help a researcher develop questionnaires that will properly collect the data that he or she needs to address
the research questions. Most of the guidelines focus on the wording and construction of questionnaires. When
developing a questionnaire, one should be aware of the question types. Wording configurations that should
be avoided include biased or leading questions, double-barreled questions, questions asked objectively,
assumptions regarding the respondent’s knowledge regarding issues, vague wording, collecting excessive
information, and “response set” (Hagan, 2014).
The organization of the questionnaire is also important. Questionnaires should normally begin with questions
that focus on the study topic and how they sit with demographic type questions such as age, race/ethnicity,
income, and occupation. For example, if you were interested in looking at the relationship in the number of
children involved in community policing activities, then make sure the survey begins with questions that ask
specifically about their level of involvement in the community and/or the extent of their interaction with police
in the community. Then, end a survey by asking them questions about their family such as how many people
are in their household, how many of those people are children, and what are the ages of the children in the
household?
The manner in which the questionnaire is administered is also important. Questionnaires can be given directly
to the participant, mailed to the participant, and electronically provided to the participant (e.g., link or QSR
code). Mail surveys are a very popular method of.
This document discusses survey methodology and describes various aspects of conducting surveys. It defines what a survey is and notes that surveys collect large amounts of data using questionnaires. Surveys are used to make statistical inferences about populations and include aspects like questionnaires, interviewers, and methods to improve response rates. The document also describes different types of surveys, conditions for effective surveys, steps in conducting surveys, and considerations for analysis and reporting of survey results.
This document summarizes a presentation on best practices for polling and survey data. It cautions against simply aggregating polls, noting that doing so risks losing nuance and precision. It emphasizes the importance of representative sampling, transparency, and minimizing errors. Key points include carefully evaluating coverage and potential biases in samples, especially for international data, and considering how factors like question wording, response options, and population studied can affect results. The overall message is that high-quality methodology, transparency, and understanding sources of error are needed to ensure survey accuracy.

Odoo provides an option for creating a module by using a single line command. By using this command the user can make a whole structure of a module. It is very easy for a beginner to make a module. There is no need to make each file manually. This slide will show how to create a module using the scaffold method.
How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

3. What is survey?
A survey is a research method for collecting information from a selected group of
people using standardized questionnaires or interviews. Questionnaire is just one
part of survey
Process
What is questionnaires
A list of survey questions asked to respondents to extract specific information.
Questionnaire is the data collection component of overall survey.
Are questionnaires and surveys the same ?
Very often the questionnaire and survey are used to mean the same thing. But there
is an important distinction between them: Survey describes the process of
conducting the research, which includes a series of 7-steps, while the questionnaire
is one part of the survey process

General Topics Specific Survey Studies
Course evaluation survey Junk food health related issues survey
Classrooms evaluation survey Health consequences of smoking cigarettes survey
Product Survey Hazardous chemicals in our everyday lives survey
Customer satisfaction survey Gender and racial discrimination at work place survey
Event satisfaction survey Al-Najah Campus safety and security survey
Health assessment survey Taxi driver survey in Nablus city
Patient satisfaction survey
5. The process of conducting a survey
Step-1: Defining the objective of the survey. It often comes from the thought “why I am
doing this survey?”
Step-2: Constructing the questionnaire, a well designed questionnaire can provide
information about opinions, beliefs & practices of group of individuals
Step-3: Methods of conducting the survey
Decide about the procedure
Sample size, how many people you will survey and their age
How you will survey your subject(by phone, in class or interview)
Step-4: Testing the questionnaire
Find out if the questionnaire’s content is clear and consistent with the subject.
Get some of your colleagues to review them
Step-5: Administering the questionnaire
in small study you can administer the questionnaire your self, but in large survey
you will need helpers
Step-6: Data entry and analysis
statistical analysis is to be carried out
Step-7: Writing the report
The final stage of survey process is documenting the findings in a report

There are two main basic ways in which survey data are gathered: Interview based and
Questionnaire based
Data Gathering Techniques (Survey Classifications)
7. Hand Delivered Questionnaire (self completed questionnaire). The questionnaire is
handed in person, the respondent will fill it up and submit it back to the researcher
Advantage Less expensive compared with the face to face interview
Disadvantage
Limited opportunity for clarification if a respondent doesn’t understand
a question
Web Questionnaire A collection of questions presented on a webpage and sent to the
respondent’s email addresses. The survey design, distribution, completion and data
analysis are done using through web-based applications
Advantage Easy to administer, convenient for respondents
Disadvantage Can be confused as SPAM
Face to Face Interview (questionnaire is completed by the interviewer) The
interviewer reads the questions in a face to face setting
Advantage Interviewer is present to provide assistance
Disadvantage High cost because it involves a lot of traveling and hiring interviewers
Phone Interview Interviewers usually conducts a phone interview with the
respondents. The survey questions and their answers are handled by the interviewer
Advantage Large number of surveys can be acquired in a short time
Disadvantage Requires a highly skilled interviewers

Notes
9. There are four main types of data you might want to obtain through the survey
Types of Data Collected
Attitude
To indicate whether the respondents have positive or negative feeling
about an issue
Behavior
Asking the respondents to describe what they have done in the past or
what they are currently doing. They are typically analyzed in terms of
Whether the behavior is present or absent
Frequency of the behavior
Opinion It is the respondent’s thought towards something
Attributes
Demographic
Data
Typically ask for information about the characteristic of the population:
like age, gender, ethnic-group, education, occupation, or cultural
background. Attribute questions are important to evaluate how
attitudes, behavior differ for respondents with various attributes
Fact: I learned that there was a small earthquake hit the city of Nablus
Opinion: A major earthquake is expected to take place
To what extent do you think that indirect exposure to smoke is dangerous for health?
What is your gender? How old are you? What is your race/ethnicity?
In a typical weak, how many times do you eat out at a restaurant? (eating habit)
Page-7 An Najah National University O. Tamimi
10. Types of survey questions
Open ended question: is a question at which there is no single answer.it actually gives
the respondents the opportunity to answer using their own words, the answer could
come in one sentence or more.
Closed ended question: has a definite set of answers from which the respondent
choses. closed ended question is easy to summarize, but it may take much more time to
design. Closed ended questions have many different styles, these are:
Multiple choice question
Categorical question
Dichotomous question
Rank order question
Likert scale question (Matrix)
Page-8 An Najah National University O. Tamimi
Open ended question Closed ended question
Advantage
They permit adequate answers
to complex questions
It is easier to answer and easier to
analyze
Disadvantage
A greater amount of
respondents time, thought and
effort is necessary
Take more time to construct
Example Why did you choose your major? Are you satisfied with your college?
11. Multiple Choice Question (single or multiple responses)
The respondent is given a list of items and is asked to choose either one
answer that best applies or multiple answers
Types of multiple choice questions
Radio buttons or check-boxes
Drop-down
Matrix Questions
Categorical Question
Example (single response using check-boxes)
What is your opinion of the product you recently purchased?
Excellent
Good
Poor
Fair
Used to categorize the respondents according to their age, gender,
ethnic group or their level of education.
18-28
19-28
39-48
29-38
Which age range you are in:
Example
Page-9 An Najah National University O. Tamimi
12. Dichotomous Question
Dichotomous questions are straight forward, typically asking respondents to choose
between
Yes / No
Agree or Disagree
True/False
Have you ever purchased a product or service from our website?
Yes
No
Example
Rank order question
Rank order questions allow a certain set of brands or products to be ranked based upon
a specific characteristic. Such as; cost, usage, reliability or features
Example
Based upon what you have heard or experienced, please rank the following car
brands according to their reliability.
2 Honda
4 Toyota
1 Mazda
3 Ford

Strongly Agree
I do not understand the concept behind the Lab experiment ●
I like labs where I get a full help in doing the experiments ●
It was clear how the Lab experiments fit into this course ●
The lab manual for this course was well written ●
Tick one box to indicate your agreement or disagreement with each statement
Example
It allows the respondents to rate a specific question on a scale of choices from i.e.
strongly-agree to strongly-disagree. These choices are shown horizontally by default

14. Survey Sampling Procedures
General sampling techniques
Random Sampling: every member of the population has an equal chance of being
selected
Advantage: Simplicity
Disadvantage: Not accurate if there is a variation
Example: in the following diagram, 13 units are randomly
sampled from the survey population of 100 students.
Note: No clustering is needed for the population sample
The term Refers to the selection of individual, units or cases to be studied
If the population of the people you are interested in is small enough, it may be possible
to survey the entire population, rather than choosing a sample. But if you have a large
population, you may have to select a sample
Factors that influence sample size
The size of sample for a particular survey depends on many factors
Cost consideration (Budget, Desire to minimize the cost)
Administrative concerns (Research deadline)
Acceptable level of accuracy
Page-12 An Najah National University O. Tamimi
15. Stratified Sampling: is an accurate sampling method which involves dividing the survey
population into specific subgroups (strata), the population of each strata shares the same
characteristic such as; age, gender, career, income.
Reasons for stratified sampling
To ensure that all parts of the population are highlighted in the sample
Example: in the following diagram, the population survey consists of 50 students,
25 of whom were females and the remaining are male.
Step-1 in stratified sampling the population are split
into two strata. Female strata and Male strata.
Step-2 random sampling is carried out twice; one for males,
and one for females
Step-3 since the two strata have an equal size, then the size of each sample would
ideally be equal
Sampling size: if the population (N) consists of male-strata (m) & female-strata (f), where
N= m+f. if the total number of sample is (S),
male-sample size (s1) s1= m x (S÷N)
female-sample size (s2) s2= f x (S÷N)
Advantage: Accuracy
Disadvantage: Requires prior information about the population being sampled

Size:40
Strata-2
Male, Part-time
Size:20
Strata-3
Female, Part -time
Size:16
Strata-4

Size:24
Population Survey: N=100
Example: The survey population consists of 100 worker divided into 4-strata, each of
which has a different size. If the required sampling size (S=25)
Calculate the sample-size for each strata
Sample-size (strata-1) s1= 40x(25÷100) =10
Sample-size (strata-2) s2= 20x(25÷100) = 5
Sample-size (strata-3) s3= 16x(25÷100) = 4
Sample-size (strata-4) s4= 24x(25÷100) = 6
Notice: S=s1+s2+s3+s4

17. Data Analysis & Discussion
Once the questionnaires are completed and collected, the first step is to interpret the
data on excel sheet to create specific drawings or charts.
A questionnaire usually comes with a collection of closed ended questions like: multiple
choices and scaled matrix questions. For easier analysis each item in these questions is
converted into numerical value
For example: The scaled question (e.g. strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree &
strongly disagree) shall be converted to these values (1,2,3,4,5)
Strongly Disagree
Disagree
Neutral
Agree
Strongly Agree

Question-1 Options relative to Responses
It is clearly noticed that nearly half of students have chose option-2, which means
that they have no clear understanding of the concept behind LAB experiments, while the
others indicate that there some degree of understanding. The variation of
responses is attributed to two factors; 1st factor: no adequate preparation nor
pre-lab questions were solved. 2nd factor: tutor shall dedicate half an hour time to explain
the theoretical concepts prior each LAB
