Creating a Level One Evaluation Survey

Introduction
Now, that you know what target areas to focus on in a level one survey, and the types of questions to include, let's look at how best to structure the questions and sequence the survey.

Structuring Your Questions
When creating your survey questions, use the following guidelines:

Sequencing Your Questions
Once you have finalized your questions, you need to figure out the order in which to present them. There are two ways to arrange your questions:
 * by question type
 * by target areas

Which of these options you choose depends on how you use the data you have collected. If, for example, you tabulate qualitative data from level one surveys using a computer application, to further analyze it, then, combining all your closed-ended questions together is useful for this purpose. If, however, you analyze data for each target area separately, then create a section for questions pertaining to each target area.

Case Study
For the final step in this module, create a level survey for Acmay Ltd. to find out the following about their Safety at Work training program: (use each of the question types atleast once in your survey)
 * the content scope
 * participants'suggestions for improving the program
 * preferred training method
 * the trainer's expertise on safety rules & regulations at work
 * whether the lunch provided was good
 * most useful topics

When you have finished creating your survey, compare it to this solution.
