Data Collection Survey Skills

A local park group wants to choose a new activity for its family fun day. Use the tasks below to practise writing fair questions, collecting and organising data, and describing what the results show. For your own survey, ask politely, record each answer accurately and thank each person.

Choose and improve questions

The park group is considering a nature walk, a craft table or a kite-flying area.

1.Which survey question is most likely to influence people’s answers?
  • Would you like to enjoy a wonderful nature walk?
  • Which activity would you choose: a nature walk, a craft table or kite-flying?
  • How many times have you visited the park this month?
2.Rewrite the leading question from Question 1 so it is neutral and lets people choose among all three activities.
3.The group wants to know which activity is most popular. Write one clear survey question with response options that would answer this purpose.

Collect and organise responses

A volunteer asked 12 visitors the same neutral question: “Which activity would you most like at the family fun day?” Their responses, in order, were: craft, walk, kite, craft, craft, walk, kite, craft, walk, craft, kite, walk.
