  8. Survey vs Interview Why might you choose to do a survey instead of an interview in research? Large numbers can participate People can respond in their own time Provides a written record Low cost No training needed as with interviewing Avoids interviewer bias

  9. 3. Surveys in Research Process • Ethics Approval then Recruit People • Decide on Research Question • Gather Stories by Interviews, Focus Groups or Surveys • Tell People What We Learned • Find Answers

  10. Data analysis means… • Recording each answer • Finding out which answers were the same for the group • Finding out which answers were different for the group • For our survey it means taking answers from 136 pages and cutting this to one page to tell the story.
