Survey Report
Overview:
For this assignment, you will report and analyze the results of your survey with the intent of developing a deeper understanding of your point of inquiry through the perspectives of a variety of individuals. You will be required to distribute at least 50 surveys. Further, you will be required to complicate at least 2 demographic variables to more critically engage in your research process.
The report should include:
A background section that presents your research question, summarizes your survey questions, states your hypotheses , and describes your population. This section should also begin by contextualizing your research topic, and therefore should integrate 6-8 outside sources. These can include those that you used in both your Observation Report as well as your Interview Project but should build off of these.
A methods section that details your surveying process, including how you wrote and revised the questions, created answer choices, structured/formatted the survey; how you distributed the survey, elicited responses, targeted a particular population; and how many responses you received, any demographic data about respondents
A results section ordered by significance and reported by theme or topic that tells readers what you discovered from your research by describing and interpreting findings
A conclusion section that tells readers what your survey results reveal about your topic, how they help to answer your research question, and why they are meaningful; you may also mention any researcher or participant biases, research design flaws, oversights/missed opportunities, and/or directions for future research
an appendix that provides complete survey results
Reports should be approximately 6-7 pages in length and follow either APA or MLA style guidelines.
