Spørgeskemaet

Spørgeskemaet is a Danish term that translates to "the questionnaire" or "the survey" in English. It refers to a method of gathering information from a selected group of people, known as respondents, through a set of questions. These questions can be posed in various formats, including written, online, or oral. The purpose of a spørgeskema is typically to collect data for research, market analysis, opinion polling, or evaluation purposes.

The design of a spørgeskema is crucial for obtaining reliable and valid results. It involves careful consideration of question phrasing, question types (e.g., open-ended, multiple-choice, rating scales), and the overall structure of the survey. A well-constructed spørgeskema aims to minimize bias and ensure that respondents understand the questions and can provide accurate answers. Different types of spørgeskema exist, depending on the research objectives and the target audience. For example, a simple opinion poll might use a few straightforward multiple-choice questions, while a complex academic study might employ a more in-depth questionnaire with a variety of question formats. The collected data from a spørgeskema is then analyzed to identify patterns, trends, and insights that can inform decision-making or contribute to new knowledge.
