My Survey

Page history last edited by crump 8 months, 2 weeks ago
  1. Get a buddy to work with (optional).
  2. Think of a topic. Do some type of comparison, like males/females, grade levels, age, race differences. Keep it school appropriate!
  3. Develop an operational definition. We're looking for two main things here:
    1. Detail your procedures. What and how you'll do it. Also detail how you'll "crunch your numbers". The goal is to make it so clear that somebody else could take your explanation and replicate your actions.
    2. What and how will you quantify what you're studying? Remember the "Likert scale", you might use it for this.
  4. Make your survey. A chart would likely be ideal to keep your data neat.
  5. Make a prediction as to what your outcome will be.
  6. Collect data.
    1. Ask people to participate in your survey. Record the results. 
  7. Organize the data.
    1. Crunch the numbers if you need to, such as adding up a total or finding the mean.
  8. Graph the results so they're shown visually.
  9. Offer a conclusion(s) and say whether your prediction was verified, disproved, or whether the results were confounding.
    1. Confounding results mean something in the process makes the results uncertain. If this is the case, that's okay, but explain why your results are confounded.
  10. Assemble your work "report style" to make it neat and so it communicates clearly.  The parts would be: (1) an overview or intro, (2) operational definition, (3) predicted outcome, (4) the survey, (5) the data/responses, (6) graph, (7) conclusion.
  11. We'll likely present the findings.

Points Report
 Data
Graph
Conclusion
4 Your report is assembled in a neat and clear manner that communicates well.

Data is thorough and is tabulated appropriately.

Operational definition is clear enough that the study could be replicated.

 Graph is neat and communicates the data well.
The conclusion is data-based and clearly verifies or disproves the predicted outcome.
3 Your report is orderly.

Data is present and tabulated, but may be a bit low in numbers.

Operational definition is mostly clear.

 Graph communicates the data.
The conclusion is data-based but a link to the prediction may be unclear.
2 Your report is a bit messy or is a bit confusing.

Data may be minimal or tabulated inappropriately.

Operational definition is present but unclear.

 Graph may be messy, hard to understand, or inaccurate.
The conclusion is present but may not be data-linked or a link to the prediction may be unclear.
1 Your report is messy and confusing.

Data is minimal.

No operational definition or very unclear one.

 Graph is present, but poor.
The is a conclusion, but it's based on little or no data.
