Survey
A term used to describe a technique of collecting information, attitudes or opinions from a large number of people. Many surveys involve the use of Questionnaires which are highly structured questions which are presented in a written form. Some surveys use interviews which are a method of spoken Data collection. Interviews can vary in the amount of structure they use. Structured interviews maybe little more than a spoken Questionnaire whereas semi structured interviews allow for an open ended description of the respondents experiences.
