DATA COLLECTION TOOL (QUESTIONNAIRE)

INTRODUCTION:  A questionnaire is a written list of questions, the answers to which are recorded by respondents. In a questionnaire respondents read the questions, interpret what is expected and then write down the answers. The only difference between an interview schedule and a questionnaire is that in the former it is the interviewer who asks the questions and sometimes if necessary, explains them, and records the respondent’s replies on an interview schedule, while in the latter replies are recorded by the respondents themselves.

HOW TO CONSTRUCT A QUESTIONNAIRE:  A questionnaire is constructed basing on the specific objectives and it should be able to generate answers for study objectives.
