|
|
Hi everyone!
I am getting a master's in elementary education. I'm doing a survey as part of research project and I could really use your help. The survey is about your elementary school experiences. It's 10 questions and should take less than five minutes. Would you mind filling it out for me?
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=958352602787
Responses are anonymous; I just get the compiled data, not names or anything.
Thanks very much!! |

Done. Could you post a summary of your results (or a link to them) when you finish? |

I'd be very curious to see those results as well. Does your programme seriously consider anonymous internet surveys to be a valid method of data collection? You may as well just make the results up yourself. |

I went through the whole survey without answering it, then submitted it! |

Question 9 does not apply for non-Americans. |

For Question Four I specified Other: Asylum for Criminally Insane Children.
We said the pledge of allegiance a lot in that place. |

Yeah - if you only wanted Americans to take the survey, you should have said. Otherwise some us will have skewed your results. There is no equivalent of the pledge of allegiance in many countries (thankfully!). |

The results would be skewed anyway. You cannot even begin to expect any kind of honesty from participants in this kind of survey, and even if you could, systemic bias will make any results meaningless. I mean seriously, what kind of conclusions will the OP realistically be able to draw from the data, even under 'ideal' internet conditions? |

It's pretty straightforward looking. Just as long as the surveyor doesn't say "Non-American children are not patriotic because they don't recite propaganda in class every day." |

Hmm... maybe the research methods papers I've been taking have muddied my thinking somewhat, but what is so straightforward?. What kind of plausibly generalisable information about the real world can this survey generate? |
