Definition

  • Questionnaires provide case study researchers with a data-gathering technique that collects, through written self-reports, either quantitative or qualitative information from an individual unit (e.g., a child, group, school, community) regarding the unit's knowledge, beliefs, opinions, or attitudes about or toward a phenomenon under investigation. This method of data collection is one of a subset of general survey techniques that includes collecting information either through oral responses, such as interviews, surveys, or polls, or through written responses, such as questionnaires, scales, or other documents.
