Scenario
As you have learned in this course, qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research strategies can all be implemented by conducting surveys. In this section of your research project proposal, you will design an original survey that serves as the anchor for your methodology. If completed, you may use the research question identified in Deliverable 1.
Instructions
Using the Survey Results Worksheet linked here, create a presentation that effectively displays and communicates your survey results to a target audience.

Choose a research question in your field, and write ten original, quantitative survey questions that correlate with the ten data columns on the Survey Results Worksheet. You may add qualitative questions and data if you wish.
Sample Solution
Data Visualization
Data visualization is the presentation of data in a way that allows the user to easily understand and interpret the data. It can be used to communicate complex information in a clear and concise way.
There are many different types of data visualization techniques, but some of the most common include:
- Charts: Charts are a great way to visualize numerical data. They can be used to show trends, patterns, and outliers.
- Graphs: Graphs are similar to charts, but they are typically used to visualize two-dimensional data.
- Maps: Maps can be used to visualize spatial data. They can be used to show the distribution of data, or to identify patterns in the data.
- Tables: Tables are a good way to present large amounts of data in a concise way.
- Communicate research findings to a variety of audiences.
- Identify trends, patterns, and outliers in the data.
- Test hypotheses.
- Generate new research questions.
- The type of data that you want to collect.
- The audience that you want to communicate with.
- The software that you will use to visualize the data.
- Use clear and concise questions.
- Use a variety of question types.
- Keep your survey short.
- Test your survey before you distribute it.
- Choose the right data visualization technique for your data.
- Use clear and concise labels.
- Use color coding to highlight key points.
- Include a legend to explain your data visualization.
