Abstract

The present chapter explores the essential stages in designing and developing the questionnaires and offers a basic introduction to beginners who are at the preliminary stages of their research. The study was approached purely from a theoretical perspective and various issues and challenges have been addressed including the length of questionnaires, how to distribute a questionnaire and how to analyze the data. The study concluded that researchers often rely on the previously developed questionnaire rather than developing the new one because it requires the knowledge and expertise. For novice researchers, developing entirely a new questionnaire requires a basic understanding of the format of the questionnaire, length of the questionnaire and how to distribute a questionnaire. Therefore, the chapter presents a systematic way to develop a questionnaire keeping in view all the issues and problems faced by researchers who are engaged in study for a thesis or in other research projects.
