Need help on a simple research...

Im conducting a research study on the awareness level of my fellow schoolmates in regards to their...well awareness with their privileges in school.

like:

medical and dental
Athletics
Library
Guidance Program
Special Development?

anyways, i cant figure out meaningful questions that i can use to create a decent table to suggest the concept to viewers. in other words. im running out of ideas for questions for the questionnaire.

heres what i thought.

Name (Optional)
Year/Course

1. Are you aware of your privileges? [yes/no]
2. Which of the privelages are you aware/familiar with?
3. Which do you often use?
4. How often do you use it?
5. Do you find it useful?
6. Are you satisfied with the services?
7. Suggestions?

ugh....im stuck with seven simple questions...please help

 

privileges - A special advantage or immunity or benefit not enjoyed by all
- A right reserved exclusively by a particular person or group (especially a hereditary or official right)
- (law) the right to refuse to divulge information obtained in a confidential relationship

if privilege is not the right term, what would you suggest that would make more appropriate?
its just that i always here it that "using books from the library is a privilege, not a right" and all that crap.

 

Using the word in that context makes no sense. The "privileges" you stated in the list can be "enjoyed by all", however some choose not to take advantage of it. I cannot think of a better phrase right now, but using that particular word is erroneous.

 

so i need to change the term...this could take some time

 

wouldn't that be more of an optional service? I mean I understand the issue with under privileged schools etc. but some schools need to have those sort of services and facilities in order to become a well known school and to attract more students for future years. The parents would want these sort of facilities. I for example never stepped into the library of my school and played sport for a club and not for the school. So they are optional and I agree that its not appropriate to call them privileges!

 

then what would you have it called? ...tsk maybe i should just change topic...any suggestions?

 

You need to be more specific in your questions:

1. Are you aware of your privileges? [yes/no]
2. Which of the privelages are you aware/familiar with? - Too broad, "I like the bathrooms, I like the cafeteria, I like the access to the balcony."
3. Which do you often use? - What's often? Plus, 4 asks about the frequency - Try: Which do you use?
4. How often do you use it? - Once again, what's often? Define a period: Once a week, Once a month, etc.
5. Do you find it useful? - What's useful? Is it useful for everybody?
6. Are you satisfied with the services? - Define satisfied? - Try, from 1 to 5, with 1 low and 5 high, how would you rate this service.
7. Suggestions? - Try: What other services would you like to see?

You already gave the other word for privileges: services.

Try to make a list of services and ask the same questions for each service.

Finally, don't make too many questions. Seven to ten questions is enough, else people get bored and don't want to take it.

 

ok then, re-make

7....missing one question...usefulness is pretty much the same as satisfaction right?

 

Sort of, Satisfaction is how much good it makes you feel etc., while usefulness is just how useful it would be to you etc.

 

How bout one that is kinda off-topic but something along the line such as "how did you find this survey" or "did this survey opened your eyes" or something like that

 

hmm i guess it would be pretty good to include that...so for question number 7.

How do you find this survey?
-Eye-Opener?
-Lame
-Useful
-Stupid

any suggestions on the choices??? haha this implies the ignorance of my schoolmates woot woot.

 

What's the difference between lame and stupid?

 

How old is your target group? Personally, if I had the choice between eye-opener and lame/stupid, I'd think this question would make it fall in the lame/stupid area. Don't use lame/stupid.

How satisfied are you with the services that are available? 1-5
How useful are the services to you? 1-5

 

Aha. Services. That's the word. Replace privilege with service.

 

Anyone would do as long as their a student of the school.

 

So your target group would be teenagers.

 

yeah i guess the majority would be teenagers, but as long as they have a valid school ID age doesn't matter.

anyway here is the final result:
