What Is It
Lesson 1
Reports are more likely needed for business, scientific and technical subjects,
and in the workplace. They are of different types and they differ in their aims and
structures.
Among these types of reports, survey is the most popularly and widely used as
it is the easiest way to gather information about any topic or issue from a big number
of people or groups.
Survey Questionnaire
It is a data gathering tool having set of questions used in a survey and is utilized
in various fields such as politics, research, marketing, media and so on. It is intended
to gather data, views, opinions and others from individuals or a particular group of
people.

Methods of Administering a Survey
Administering a survey calls for a more systematic way in order to achieve the aims of
a certain survey conducted. The following methods are introduced by Sarah Mae Sincero.

4. Mail Survey
5. Online Survey
The questions should not be vague and difficult to comprehend so that the
questionnaire will not be left unanswered.
The respondents should just be given at most five ranking options and should
cover all so that they will not be tired of choosing a lot of options which do not
give the choices they look for. If this will not be observed, this will lead to an
abandoned questionnaire.
The question should focus on one topic or item at a time so that the respondents
will not be confused which to answer and what to choose.
The survey should give the respondents the option to choose “Does not apply
“ or “None” for questions they do not feel answering.
5. Should consider appropriate time reference.
Respondents could not easily recall past long experiences and be doubtful as
to the exact measurement or time they spent.
Survey questionnaire should follow the three parts: the question stem,
additional instructions and response options so that the respondents will not be
confused what to answer or choose. This will result to unreliable gathered data.
10
7. Should have open specific response options.
Questions should be gender and culture sensitive so that the respondents may
not feel awkward or embarrassed in giving their responses.
Double negatives may occur when respondents are asked of their agreement
on a certain issue. This should be avoided so that the respondents ‘response
will be clear and precise.
11
What’s More
Directions: Using the example questions in the pre-test, analyze each using the guidelines
on what should or should not for effective questions. Be able to determine whether the
question is effective or not (mark check). Then provide the reason of your answer.
What I Can Do
Directions: Suppose you are chosen as the youth representative of your town and you
are asked to introduce an advocacy on youth empowerment or development. Decide what
advocacy you will uphold and be able to find out the possible response of your town people
about it. In order to determine the people’s attitude toward it, conduct a survey by framing a
survey questionnaire. Consider the guidelines in constructing effective questions in your five-
question survey to administer in your respective town.
12
What Is It
A Survey is one of the best ways we will know and understand the people’s
choices, attitudes, or feelings on certain issues. We will be able to determine the
reactions of the respondents and based on the survey results, we could design some
possible actions to be best done, or a solution to a problem, or a remedy to a disease
or an answer to a question.
1. Decide on a four or five option survey question. Then make a tally chart
having its heading and appropriate title.
3. Count the answers marking the item having the least to the greatest tallies.
Then make a graphic representation of the results.
NOTE: When you will conduct a survey, you should write a letter of consent. In the
letter you should also emphasize that the information given by the respondents/
participants will be held with utmost confidentiality.

What’s New
What is It
1. Open-ended questions
These types of questions do not have predetermined options or answers. The
respondents are allowed to answer the questions freely. Responses must be recorded
verbatim-especially because coding and analysis will rely on the subject’s exact
responses. Open-ended questions often need probing or follow-up questions to clarify
certain items in the subject’s response. These question typically ask the “how” and
“why” of something.
Example: Why did you choose to vote for candidate X? Kindly explain.
2. Dichotomous Questions
Dichotomous questions have two possible answers, often either yes/no,
true/false, or agree/ disagree. These questions are used when the researcher wants
to clearly distinguish the respondent’s opinion, preference, experience or behaviour.
Example: HIV/AIDS is transmitted through saliva:
True False
3. Multiple–response questions
There are certain questions that necessitate the respondents to provide more
than one answer. For example, a typical advertising survey would ask the question,
“How did you find about the particular service or item”? A respondent may have
encountered more than one of the probable ways.
Example: How were you able to know about the graduate program of
Development Policy offered in De La Salle University? Check all that applies.
19
Print Advertisement By word of mouth (friends,
families, etc.)
4. Matrix questions
There are instances where a number of questions you intend to ask have the same set
of possible answers. Thus, it is possible to construct a matrix of items and answers for the
sake of streamlining the survey.
Example: Qualities of a Good Leader
Beside each of the qualities of a good leader, kindly indicate how well the person in
inquiry manifests the said quality with 1 being the lowest and 5 as the highest.
(5) Strongly Agree (4) Agree (3) Undecided (2) Disagree (1) Strongly

5. Contingency Questions
Contingency questions are intended for certain respondents only, depending on the
provided answers. A familiar example would be a follow-up question provided after a
respondent agrees to a certain item. A respondent is asked whether they used any illegal
drugs or substances. Only those who answered yes are required to answer the succeeding
items.

Example:
4. Have you ever tried any illegal drugs and/or substances?

LESSON 4. DISSEMINATING INFORMATION FROM SURVEYS
What’s New
What do you do with the data or information you have collected after
conducting your survey? Information or data gathered from surveys should be
properly organized before it could be disseminated.
What is It
Displayed as a list, the numbers are not clear, however, they are easier to
analyze if they are recorded in a tally and frequency chart like this.
38 III 3
Sometimes if there is a big range in the data, it is more useful to group the data in a
grouped frequency table. The groups are chosen so that no data item can appear in
two groups.
For example, the ages of 30 residents in a Home for the Aged are shown below:
98 71 76 77 72 78 77 73 76 86
75 79 81 105 100 74 82 88 91 96
85 90 97 102 83 101 83 84 80 95
23
Constructing a tally and frequency table with a list of individual ages will not be very
useful as most ages in the range will only have one or two results. Grouping the data
into the age ranges 71-80, 81-90, etc. produces this more useful table.
The ages could have been grouped 71-75, 76-80, 81-85, etc. The group size is the
decision of the person collecting the data, but it is important that the groups are all the
same size and do not overlap.
Displaying data
Once the data has been collected, it can be displayed in several ways. Which
method is chosen depends on the type of data collected and the audience it is intended
for. One of the simplest and most effective is to use a pictogram.
This method uses pictures to represent the frequency. The chocolate button
data can be displayed on a pictogram like this, using one circle to represent one
chocolate button.
Sometimes one symbol represents more than one item. In the pictogram below, each
circle represents four chocolates and fractions of a circle represents smaller amounts.
35
Look at the key to
36 see what each
37 symbol

24
Probably the most common way of displaying data is the bar graph or
frequency diagram. It is quick and easy to draw, and straightforward to understand.

10
In frequency diagrams and bar line graphs, each frequency is represented by the
height of a bar or line. Another way of displaying data is on a pie chart. On these, each
frequency is represented by a fraction of a circle.
Worked example
Look again at the data about students’ favourite subjects. Show this information on a
pie chart.
● First you need to express the frequency of each subject as a fraction of the total
number of students
Sports is 40 = 1 of the total
120 3
Science is 20 = 1
120 6
26
To draw the pie chart without a protractor, an understanding of fractions helps. For
example, Sport and Science together represent half of the total, and Maths, Art and
Languages represent the other half of the total.

LESSON 5
Summarizing Findings and Executing The Report Through
Survey
A summary is a synthesis of the key ideas of a piece of writing, restated in your own
words – i.e., paraphrased. You may write a summary as a stand-alone assignment or
as part of a longer paper. Whenever you summarize, you must be careful not to copy
the exact wording of the original source.
Summarizing teaches students how to discern the most important ideas in a text,
how to ignore irrelevant information, and how to integrate the central ideas in a
meaningful way. Teaching students to summarize improves their memory for what is
read. Summarization strategies can be used in almost every content area.
Due to clarity demand, summary of findings must contain each specific question under
the statement of the problem and must be written first to be followed by the
findings that would answer it.
The findings should be textual generalizations, that is, a summary of the important
data consisting of text and numbers.
How to Write a Summary
1. Skim the text, noting in your mind the subheadings. If there are no
subheadings, try to divide the text into sections. Consider why you have been
assigned the text. Try to determine what type of text you are reading with. This
can help you identify important information
2. Read the text, highlighting important information and taking notes.
3. In your own words, write down the main points of each section.
4. Write down the key support points for the main topic, but do not include minor
detail.
5. Go through the process again, making changes as appropriate.

Sample Summary:
In his paper “Global Implications of Patent Law Variation,” Koji Suzuki (1991)
states that lack of consistency in the world’s patent law is a serious problem. In most
of the world, patent ownership is given to the inventor that is first to file for a patent.
However, the United States maintains a first-to-invent policy. In view of this, patent
ownership can change depending on the country. Multiple patent ownership can
result in economic problems; however, most striking is the international tension it
Causes. That fact that United States does not recognize patent ownership in other

Sample Survey Report 2
https://twin-cities.umn.edu/news-events/rising-number-college-students-report-
mental-health-condition
The number of students coming to college with a mental health condition continues
to increase, with nearly half of all female students reporting a diagnosis in their
lifetime. The 2018 College Student Health Survey of University of Minnesota Twin
Cities (UMTC) students found a 29 percent increase in mental health conditions
among students since 2015.
The survey, directed by Boynton Health, is intended to identify health issues affecting
UMTC students so University officials can be responsive to their needs and create a
healthier campus environment.
“We have a profound opportunity to positively influence the health of young adults
in college,” said Maggie Towle, interim vice provost for Student Affairs and dean of
students. “Graduating from college is a key barometer of future health, including a
better job, higher wage and the resources for good health. The College Student
Health Survey helps us bring focus and attention to the most pressing health
concerns of our students.”
In addition to the mental health findings, the survey found an increase in students
experiencing sexual assault and, for the first time, collected information about sexual
harassment.
35
Mental Health
Consistent with past surveys, anxiety (32 percent) and depression (27 percent)
are the most frequent conditions stated.
“As student mental health needs grow, we have to ask what resources will be
needed to keep pace,” said Gary Christenson, MD, chief medical officer, Boynton
Health. “The scale of our campus puts us in a better position to provide students
a range of resources. But all colleges and universities are struggling to keep up.
Our survey should be a clear sign to policymakers, mental health professionals
and public health experts that we urgently need to identify public
health approaches to promote good mental health.”
Stress
Unmanaged stress can have serious health consequences, including what appears
to be an association between unmanaged stress and higher rates of mental health
conditions.
Based on the survey results, more than two in five (42 percent) students were
unable to manage their stress. Among these students, 14 percent were
diagnosed with depression in the last year. Compared to students who manage
their stress, only 6 percent were diagnosed with depression.
Students who reported three or more stressors engage in more risky behavior,
including higher tobacco and marijuana use, high-risk drinking, and higher credit
card debt compared to students who reported fewer stressors. The factor
students are most likely to say affects their academic performance is stress.
“College can be stressful and students do not necessarily seek help to cope with
stress,” said Patricia A. Frazier, PhD, associate chair of the Department of
Psychology. “To succeed academically, students need a variety of tools to help
them learn how to manage stress.”

When reporting the results of a survey, the figures gathered should be given in the
form of percentages and proportions. Expressions such as “one in four” or “six out
of ten” can be used, or exact percentages e.g. 25% of the people questioned, 68% of
those who filled in the questionnaire, etc. Less exact expressions such as: the majority
of those questioned, a large proportion of, a significant number of, etc. can also be
used.

Fast-food Addiction
A.
It is no secret that the US is leading the world in its swelling obesity. The
nation is subsisting on a diet of high-calorie convenience food. In fact, Americans
have increased their spending on fast-food items from Ṩ 6 billion to Ṩ 160 billion
Annually over the past four decades. What may Come as a shock, however, is the
accumulation of evidence suggesting that the main ingredients in the typical
“hamburger, fries and a cola” are addictive compounds that keep customers lining
up for their next fix.
The key culprits are sugar and fat. Empirical studies reveal that the heavy
dosage of these substances in today’s super-sized standard of a fast-food meal can
trigger brain activity similar to that endured when a person is on hard drugs. A
representative individual serving McDonald’s or Burger King can dish out up to 2000
calories, including more than a cup of sugar and 84 grams of fats.
Single-handedly, this meal sized portion meets the full daily caloric
requirement for the average woman. Moreover, it exceeds the recommended daily
allowances of both sugar and fat for any adult, regardless of gender.
Whereas herein is an opiate, both sugar and fat stimulate endogenous opioids
such as beta-endorphins in the hypothalamus, just above the brain stem. These
naturally occurring painkillers activate the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter,
43
into a small cluster of cells located in the midbrain called the nucleus acumens. Here,
dopamine functions to elicit feelings of pleasure or euphoria. What’s more, it
motivates an individual to proactively repeat any action that originally fuelled its
production. In the case of sugar and fat, purported addiction is a consequence of
the body craving the release of dopamine inherent in their consumption.

On 8th February 1999, a survey was conducted among 16 overseas postgraduate students at the University of
England. The purpose of the survey was to discover the reading habits in English of the students.
The survey was conducted by means of a questionnaire given to the students to complete. The first part of the
questionnaire dealt with the type of reading and its frequency. The second section was concerned with newspapers:
the type of items read and those that were read first.
From the table of data, the most significant items are as follows. In the first section 81% of the students regularly
read academic books" while 44% regularly read academic journals. Nothing else is read regularly or often by 40%
or more of the students. The following comments can be made about the reading of newspapers, magazines and
fiction. 75% sometimes read regional or local newspapers, 69% sometimes read books of fiction, 62% sometimes
read general magazines, and 56% sometimes read national daily newspapers. On the other hand, 37% never read
Sunday newspapers and 31% never read fiction.
45
In the second section, not surprisingly, 100% read news about their own country in newspapers and 56% read
this first. 94% read international news,
25% read this first. 81% read about Britain and look at radio and TV information. The only other item that is usually
read by more than 50% of the students is current affairs (read by 56%).
If any conclusions may be drawn from the data, they are, perhaps, as follows. Overseas students presumably
have little time for general reading: most of their reading time is spent on books and journals on their own subject.
Outside their studies, apart from reading news about their own country, international news, and news about Britain,
they probably spend most time watching TV and listening to the radio.
