Personal Data Collection Survey

A surf lifesaving club wants to learn which beach activities its junior members enjoy. Use the sample survey data to practise collecting, tallying and interpreting information. Then plan a respectful survey of your own. Do not include private details such as names, addresses or exact ages.

Plan a good survey

A useful survey asks one clear question, gives answer choices that are easy to understand, and avoids asking for private information.

1.Oliver wants to find out which beach activity junior club members like best. Which is the clearest survey question?
  • What is your favourite beach activity: swimming, beach games, walking or building sandcastles?
  • Do you like the beach?
  • What do you think about everything at the club?
2.Nikau is making a survey about favourite beach activities. Which question asks for private information that is not needed?
  • Which activity do you enjoy most?
  • What is your home address?
  • Would you choose swimming or beach games?
3.Write one survey question about a club activity. Include three or four answer choices that do not overlap.

Collect and record data

Rawiri asked 12 junior members, “Which club activity would you choose first?” Here are their answers: swimming, beach games, swimming, beach walk, sandcastle building, beach games, swimming, beach games, beach walk, swimming, sandcastle building, beach games.
