Quantitative measurement
This document discusses concepts related to test validity and reliability. It covers:
1. Test validity refers to how appropriate and meaningful test scores are and depends on the testing situation and purpose. Validity can be evaluated through test content, structure, and relationships to other criteria.
2. Reliability concerns consistency and freedom from error in measurements. It is assessed through stability, equivalence, internal consistency, and agreement. Higher reliability is associated with more heterogeneous groups and items that better discriminate scores.
3. Tests can be norm-referenced, comparing scores to peers, or criterion-referenced, comparing scores to standards. Both have advantages and limitations depending on the testing goals.

This document discusses methods for collecting data through questionnaires and structured interviews. It describes questionnaires and structured interviews as the two most widely used methods for collecting social science data. It outlines key aspects of questionnaires, structured interviews, surveys, respondents, and self-report methods. It also discusses challenges with validity and measurement error when using these self-report techniques.
Modes of administration of questionnaire
This document discusses various modes of administering survey questionnaires and their advantages and disadvantages. It lists face-to-face interviews, self-completion of paper questionnaires, self-completion on a PDA, self-completion computer-assisted interviews, postal questionnaires, internet questionnaires, and telephone interviews. For each mode, it provides some example advantages and disadvantages in terms of cost, ensuring understanding and completeness, safety, representativeness, and respondent comfort. Face-to-face interviews allow the most support but are the most resource-intensive, while self-administered options are less costly but provide less oversight. Telephone interviews are cheaper than face-to-face but present privacy and sampling challenges.
Pilot questionnaire
The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire about formatting and content preferences for a documentary, poster, and radio advertisement. Key findings include that most respondents preferred a voiceover narration for the documentary, a medium close-up shot for interviewees, including B-roll footage, and using bright colors and photography for the poster. For the radio advertisement, respondents felt ambient music and quotes from the documentary should be included and that the advertisement should be 30-40 seconds long. The questionnaire provided useful guidance for finalizing the creative elements.
Questionnaire design & admin
The document discusses the process of designing and administering questionnaires for surveys, including determining what questions to ask, how to phrase and order questions, pre-testing questionnaires, and addressing potential sources of error, with the key points being that question wording, order, and layout are critical to collecting accurate and relevant data, and questionnaires must be pre-tested and revised as needed.

Collecting Research Data With Questionnaires And Interviews
Questionnaires and interviews are methods used to collect research data on phenomena that cannot be directly observed, such as opinions, values, and experiences. Both methods require similar steps in design, data collection, analysis, and interpretation. Questionnaires provide standardized answers from a sample but cannot probe responses, while interviews can probe but are more time-consuming and expensive. Careful planning is needed for both methods to train staff and develop well-designed questions and procedures.

Questionnaire designing in a research process
This document discusses the design and use of questionnaires. It defines a questionnaire as a set of questions used to gather information from individuals. Questionnaires can be administered via mail, phone, interviews, as handouts, or electronically. There are two main types of questions: open-ended questions that allow free responses and closed questions like multiple choice. Proper construction and administration are important to get useful statistical information. Factors like question wording, order, and avoiding sensitive topics should be considered when designing a questionnaire.
Test construction
1. The document outlines the process of test construction which involves preliminary considerations, reviewing the content domain, item/task writing, assessing content validity, revising items/tasks, field testing, revising based on field testing results, test assembly, selecting performance standards, pilot testing, and preparing manuals.
2. Key steps include specifying test purposes and intended examinees, reviewing content standards/objectives, drafting and editing items/tasks, evaluating items for validity and potential biases, conducting item analysis after field testing, revising or deleting weak items, assembling the final test, and collecting ongoing reliability and validity data.
3. Item analysis involves both qualitative review of item content and format as well as quantitative analysis
steps in Questionnaire design
The document discusses the importance of designing questionnaires to collect accurate information for making good decisions. It outlines key steps in questionnaire design, including determining what information is needed, defining respondents, choosing a method of contact, developing question wording and order, pre-testing the questionnaire, and finalizing the survey form. Well-designed questionnaires can efficiently gather large amounts of data but also have limitations like inability to understand emotions and truthfulness of responses.
Data collection presentation
Data collection - Statistical data are a numerical statement of aggregates. Data, generally, are obtained through properly organized statistical inquiries conducted by the investigators. Data can either be from primary or secondary sources.
Validity and reliability of questionnaires
This document discusses the validity and reliability of questionnaires. It defines validity as the ability of a questionnaire to measure what it intends to measure. There are several types of validity discussed, including content validity, face validity, criterion validity (concurrent and predictive), and construct validity. Steps for validating a questionnaire include evaluating face validity and getting expert feedback to establish content validity. Reliability is the ability to get consistent results and is measured through test-retest reliability, internal consistency (split-half), and inter-rater reliability. Establishing both validity and reliability is important for developing a high-quality questionnaire.
Methods of data collection
Data are numerical facts collected systematically for research purposes. Economists study phenomena and draw conclusions from collected data. There are two main sources of information: primary and secondary data. Primary data involves collecting original data directly from sources for a specific research purpose, such as through observation, interviews, questionnaires, or schedules. Secondary data refers to data that was originally collected by someone else for another purpose and has been published, such as government publications, journals, or reports.
Survey design workshop
The document outlines the objectives and content of a survey design workshop. It discusses key topics like questionnaire design, levels of measurement, sampling, and implementation issues. The workshop aims to help participants understand rigorous survey planning, common survey methods, questionnaire design best practices, and critically reviewing example surveys.
Questionnaire
The document discusses the characteristics, functions, types, and construction of questionnaires. It provides details on:
- Questionnaires should be short, simple, objective and avoid embarrassing questions.

- Types include fixed-response and open-ended questionnaires, and mail-administered vs face-to-face.
- Constructing a questionnaire involves deciding what to measure, the type, writing drafts, pretesting, and specifying procedures.
Data Collection-Primary & Secondary
This presentation discusses primary and secondary data collection methods. It begins by defining primary data as original data collected specifically for the research purpose, such as through surveys and interviews. Secondary data refers to data previously collected by others, such as published sources. Both data types are useful but have tradeoffs - primary data directly addresses the research question while secondary data is easier to obtain but may not be specific. The presentation provides examples of primary and secondary data collection techniques and their respective advantages and disadvantages.
Methods of data collection
There are various methods for collecting primary and secondary data. Primary data collection methods include observation, interviews, questionnaires, and schedules. Secondary data refers to previously collected data that is analyzed and available for use in other studies. Factors to consider when selecting a data collection method include the nature, scope, and objective of the research, available funds and time, and required precision.

- 7. Like this… Although many people say there are great opportunities in a big city, the life here is not good for some people. First, people do not have enough free time because they are too busy with work and appointments. Parents and their children do not come home to eat lunch together. Some employees go to work before the sun comes up and return home after dark. Because of their schedules, families only spend time together on the weekend. Second, driving is necessary. Everyone must have a car to go to school or work or the store. For example, a mother might have to drive her children to school, and after school to soccer practice or to other activities. Because there is usually a lot of traffic, it may cause stress. Third, the cost of living is very expensive. Most people live in apartments because they cannot afford to buy an apartment. Also, people need a lot of money for entertainment. A visit to an aquarium could cost twenty dollars for each ticket. Even though there are many things to do in the city, some people do have happy lives.

You can visit one of the chain stores such as Doutor or Veloce where they have a shop located at almost every station, or a cozy little kisaten run by a lovely old lady, which serves great tasting coffee. If you want a meal with your coffee, you can go to a family restaurant and recently McDonald’s has started to offer a wider variety of coffee drinks. It seems that everywhere you go in Tokyo some shop sells coffee, but of all the places to get coffee in Tokyo, there is only one I would recommend. Starbucks is the best coffee shop in Tokyo.
