Survey Questionnaire and Interview / Focus Group Guide Development

Planning research is a complex procedure that calls for extreme caution and diligence. Finding a good undergraduate, graduate, or doctoral research topic is a difficult undertaking in and of itself, but preparing the research is a very involved procedure. Therefore, it is essential that careful planning be done before doing study. The planning process begins when researchers decide on a specific topic for their study. This is followed by a literature review, the creation of a final questionnaire, and either statistical data analysis or qualitative text analysis.
