Lesson 1 Disseminating Information From Surveys

What’s New

What do you do with the data or information you have collected after conducting your survey? Information or data gathered from surveys should be properly organized before it could be disseminated.

What is It

According to Cambridge International Organization, data can be organized in several ways. Which method is chosen depends largely on the type of data being collected. A simple way of recording the results is by constructing a tally and frequency table.

For example, a survey is carried out to test the manufacturer’s claim that there are ‘about 36 chocolate buttons in each packet.’ The number of buttons in each of 25 packets is counted, giving the figures below.

35 36 34 37 36 36 38 37 36 35 38 34 35 36 36 34 37 38 37 36 35 36 36 37 36

Displayed as a list, the numbers are not clear, however, they are easier to analyze if they are recorded in a tally and frequency chart like this.

Number	Tally	Frequency
34	III	3
35	IIII	4
36	IIII IIII	10
37	IIII	5
38	III	3

The tally column is filled in as the survey is being carried out. The frequency column is completed by counting up the tally marks at the end of the survey.

Sometimes if there is a big range in the data, it is more useful to group the data in a grouped frequency table. The groups are chosen so that no data item can appear intwo groups.

For example, the ages of 30 residents in a Home for the Aged are shown below:

98 71 76 77 72 78 77 73 76 86 75 79 81 105 100 74 82 88 91 96 85 90 97 102 83 101 83 84 80 95

onstructing a tally and frequency table with a list of individual ages will not be very useful as most ages in the range will only have one or two results. Grouping the data into the age ranges 71-80, 81-90, etc. produces this more useful table.

Age	Tally	Frequency
71-80	IIII IIII II	12
81-90	IIII IIII	9
91-100	IIII I	6
100-110	III	3

The ages could have been grouped 71-75, 76-80, 81-85, etc. The group size is the decision of the person collecting the data, but it is important that the groups are all the same size and do not overlap.

Displaying data

Once the data has been collected, it can be displayed in several ways. Which method is chosen depends on the type of data collected and the audience it is intended for. One of the simplest and most effective is to use a pictogram.

This method uses pictures to represent the frequency. The chocolate button data can be displayed on a pictogram like this, using one circle to represent one chocolate button.

Number of chocolate buttons	Frequency
34	○○○
35	○○○○
36	[illustration: row of circles representing 36 chocolate buttons]
37	○○○○○
38	○○○

Sometimes one symbol represents more than one item. In the pictogram below, each circle represents four chocolates and fractions of a circle represents smaller amounts.

[chart: pictogram; Number of chocolate buttons and Frequency, with a key]

Number of chocolate buttons	Frequency
34	[three-quarter circle]
35	[full circle]
36	[full circle] [full circle] [half circle]
37	[full circle] [quarter circle]
38	[three-quarter circle]

Key: [full circle] = 4 chocolates

Look at the key to see what each symbol represents

Probably the most common way of displaying data is the bar graph or frequency diagram. It is quick and easy to draw, and straightforward to understand.

Worked example

A school of 120 students carry out a survey to see which subjects are most popular. Their results are shown in the frequency table.

Show this information on a frequency diagram

[chart: bar graph; Favourite subject]

Subject	Frequency
Sport	40
Science	20
Maths	30
Art	15
Languages	15
Total	120

Values are not labeled on the chart.

The graph is fully labeled.

The bars are all the same width and do not touch. The height of each bar represents the frequency.

Frequency diagrams can also be used to display grouped data, such as the ages of the residents in the care home.

[chart: bar graph; Age of residents]

Values are not labeled on the chart.

As before, the bars are all the same width and do not touch.

An alternative to a frequency diagram is a bar-line graph. Instead of bars, lines are drawn torepresent the frequencies. The height of each line indicates the frequency.

[chart: bar-line graph; The data about students’ favorite subjects can be shown on a bar-line graph like this.] Y-axis: Frequency (0 to 45, in steps of 5). X-axis: Subjects (Sports, Science, Math, Art, Languages). Values are not labeled on the chart.

Subjects

In frequency diagrams and bar line graphs, each frequency is represented by the height of a bar or line. Another way of displaying data is on a pie chart. On these, each frequency is represented by a fraction of a circle.

Worked example

Look again at the data about students’ favorite subjects. Show this information on a pie chart.

First you need to express the frequency of each subject as a fraction of the total number of students

Sports is 40 = 1 of the total, 120 3

Science is 20 = 1 , 120 6

Math is 30 = 1 of the total 120 4

And Art and Languages are 15= 1 each. 120 8

To draw the pie chart without a protractor, an understanding of fractions helps. For example, Sport and Science together represent half of the total, and Math, Art andLanguages represent the other half of the total.

Science together represents half of the total, and Math, Art and Languages represent the other half of the total.

[chart: pie chart; no title printed. Key: Sport, Science, Maths, Arts, Languages. Values are not labeled on the chart.]

The pie chart has a heading and a key, and each slice is clearly labeled.

The pie chart is divided into slices, which are fractions of the circle. The size of each slice represents the frequency, as a fraction of the total number of students.

Lesson 2: Summarizing Findings and Executing The Report Through Survey

What Is It

A component of summary of the findings is to provide a discussion for each of the findings, using anchor verbiage that justifies rather than distorts the intent of the findings. Findings are important or relevant based on the aim and scope of your study.

A summary is a composite of the key ideas of a piece of writing, restated in your own words – i.e., paraphrased. You may write a summary as a stand-alone assignment or as part of a longer paper. Whenever you summarize, you must be careful not to copy the exact wording of the original source.

Summarizing teaches students how to distinguish the most important ideas in a text, how to ignore irrelative information, and how to incorporate the central ideas in a meaningful way. Teaching students to summarize improves their memory for what is read.

Due to clarity demand, summary of findings must contain each specific question under the statement of the problem and must be written first to be followed by the findings that would answer it.

The findings should be textual generalizations, that is, a summary of the important data consisting of text and numbers.

Summary of findings should be a short statement such as the main purpose of the study, the population or respondents, period of the study, method of research used, research instrument and sampling design Findings should be written in textual generalization, that is, a summary of the important data consisting of text and numbers.

How to Write a Summary

Preparing to Write: To write a good summary it is important to thoroughly understand the material you are working with. Here are some preliminary steps in writing a summary.

1. Skim the text, noting in your mind the subheadings. If there are no subheadings, try to divide the text into sections. Consider why you have been assigned the text. Try to determine what type of text you are reading with. This canhelp you identify important information

   
   

2. Read the text, highlighting important information and taking notes.

   
   

3. In your own words, write down the main points of each section.

   
   

4. Write down the key support points for the main topic, but do not include minor detail.

   
   

5. Go through the process again, making changes as appropriate.

Global Implications of Patent Law Variation http://depts.washington.edu/owrc
A patent is an exclusive right to use an invention for a certain period of time which is given to an inventor as compensation for disclosure of an invention.	This first sentence is a general definition. It may be safe to assume that your audience is already familiar patents: thus, you do not have include it in summary.
Although it would be beneficial for the world economy to have uniform patent laws, each country has its own laws designed to protect domestic inventions and safeguard technology. Despite widespread variation patent laws generally fall under one to two principles; the first-to-file and the first-toinvent.	It gives the specific details about the topic This classification of two principlesis important.
The first to file principle awards a patent to the person or institution that applies for a patent first, while the first to invent principlegrants the patent to the person or institution that was first to invent and can prove it. Most countries have adopted the first-to-file system. However, the United States maintains a first-to-invent system, despite obvious shortcomings. A result of countries employing different patent law principles is inconsistency of patent ownership. Include a description of the problem surrounding variation in patent laws.	Ignore specific details about the different principles. The terms are self-explanatory. It is important to point out that mostof the world follows system, the United States as well.
Patent ownership is not recognized globally. On the contrary, ownership may change depending on the contrary. It is not uncommon for an invention to have two patent owners – one in the United States and one in the rest of the world. This unclear ownership often has economic consequences. If a company is interested in using a patented Invention, it may be unable to receive per- mission from both patent owners, which in turn may prevent manufacture of a particular product. Even if permission is received from both owners, pay royalties to both may be quite costly. In this case, if the invention is useful enough, a company may proceed and pass on the added cost to consumers.	problem, but not all details.

[transcriber’s note: table continued from the previous page]

Global Implications of Patent Law Variation http://depts.washington.edu/owrc
International economic tension has also been increasing as a result of differing policies. Many foreign individuals and companies believe that they are at a serious disadvantage in the United States with regard to patent ownership because of the logistical difficulties in establishing first-to-invent status.	Describe this other problem associated with different patent principles.
Further, failure of the United States to recognize patent ownership in other countries is in violation of the Paris Conventions on Industrial Properties, which requires all member nations to treat all patent equally. The conflict surrounding patent has prompted the World Intellectual Properties Organization (WIPO) to lobby for universality in patent which requires all member nations to treat all patent equally.	Provide some explanation, but not all the details
The conflict surrounding patent has prompted the World Intellectual Properties Organization (WIPO) to lobby for universality in patent Laws. WIPO maintains that the first necessary step involves compelling the United States to reexamine its patent principle, taking into account the reality of a global economy. This push may indeed result in more global economic cooperation.	Describe the action taken to solvethe problem

Writing the summary:

When writing the summary there are three main requirements:

1. The summary should cover the original as a whole.
2. The material should be presented in a neutral fashion.
3. The summary should be condensed version of the material, presented in your words.

• also do not include anything that does not appear in the original. (Do not include your own comments or evaluation.)
• be sure to identify your source

Sample Summary:

In his paper “Global Implications of Patent Law Variation,” Koji Suzuki (1991) states that lack of consistency in the world’s patent law is a serious problem. In most of the world, patent ownership is given to the inventor that is first to file for a patent. However, the United States maintains a first-to-invent policy. In view of this, patent ownership can change depending on the country. Multiple patent ownership can result in economic problems; however, most striking is the international tension it Causes. That fact that United States does not recognize patent ownership in other countries, in violation of the Paris Convention on Industrial Properties, has prompted the World Intellectual Properties Organization (WIPO) to push the United States to review its existing patent law principles.

Sample Survey Report 2

Rising number of college students report mental health condition

[photo: students resting and sitting on a lawn under blooming pink trees, with a boy walking at the right edge]

https://twin-cities.umn.edu/news-events/rising-number-college-students-report-mental-health-condition

The number of students coming to college with a mental health condition continues to increase, with nearly half of all female students reporting a diagnosis in their lifetime. The 2018 College Student Health Survey of University of Minnesota Twin Cities (UMTC) students found a 29 percent increase in mental health conditions among students since 2015.

The survey, directed by Boynton Health, is intended to identify health issues affecting UMTC students so University officials can be responsive to their needs and create a healthier campus environment.

“We have a profound opportunity to positively influence the health of young adults in college,” said Maggie Towle, interim vice provost for Student Affairs and dean of students. “Graduating from college is a key barometer of future health, including a better job, higher wage and the resources for good health. The College Student Health Survey helps us bring focus and attention to the most pressing health concerns of our students.”

In addition to the mental health findings, the survey found an increase in students experiencing sexual assault and, for the first time, collected information about sexual harassment.

[transcriber’s note: the printed page numbers on these pages read 15 to 22; the page markers follow the numbering 17 to 24 given for this transcription]

Mental Health

In 2018, 42.2 percent of students reported a mental health diagnosis in their lifetime, a 29.1 percent increase from 32.7 percent in 2015. The increase was particularly significant for female students, with nearly half (48 percent) reporting a mental health condition in their lifetime compared to 39 percent in 2015.

Consistent with past surveys, anxiety (32 percent) and depression (27 percent) are the most frequent conditions stated.

“As student mental health needs grow, we have to ask what resources will be needed to keep pace,” said Gary Christenson, MD, chief medical officer,Boynton Health. “The scale of our campus puts us in a better position to provide students a range of resources. But all colleges and universities are struggling to keep up. Our survey should be a clear sign to policymakers, mental health professionals and public health experts that we urgently need to identify public health approaches to promote good mental health.”

Stress

Unmanaged stress can have serious health consequences, including what appears to be an association between unmanaged stress and higher rates of mental health conditions.

Based on the survey results, more than two in five (42 percent) students were unable to manage their stress. Among these students, 14 percent were diagnosed with depression in the last year. Compared to students who manage their stress, only 6 percent were diagnosed with depression.

Students who reported three or more stressors engage in more risky behavior, including higher tobacco and marijuana use, high-risk drinking, and higher credit card debt compared to students who reported fewer stressors. The factor students are most likely to say affects their academic performance is stress.

“College can be stressful, and students do not necessarily seek help to cope with stress,” said Patricia A. Frazier, PhD, associate chair of the Department of Psychology. “To succeed academically, students need a variety of tools to help them learn how to manage stress.”

Survey report

Is a formal piece of writing based on research. When reporting the results of a survey, the figures gathered should be given in the form of percentages and proportions.

Survey

Is a method of collecting information or data in which people self-report their own opinion/behaviors in response to the questions?

The purpose(s) of writing a survey report is to study a research topic thoroughly, and to summarize the existing studies in an organized manner. It is an important step in any research project

Steps in Writing a Survey Report

1. Break the report into separate sections with heading. Survey reports usually use headings for each section.

2. Write 1–2-page executive summary paraphrasing the report.

3. State the objectives of the summary in the background section.

4. Provide background information by explaining research and studies.

Tips in conducting a successful Survey

1. Make sure that every question is necessary.

2. Keep it short and simple.

3. Ask direct questions.

4. Ask one question at a time.

5. Avoid leading and biased questions. 6. Speak your respondent’s language.

6. Use response scales whenever possible

7. Avoid guiding grids or matrices for responses.

A Survey Method is the technique of gathering data by asking questions to people who are thought to have desired information. A formal questionnaire is prepared. Generally a non-disguised approach is used. The respondents are asked questions on their demographic interest or opinion.

Guidelines for Writing the Survey Report

1. Value Communicated Objective, accurate and honest presentation of facts and results

2. Basic Content

• a. May consist of eyewitness accounts of first – hand information.
• b. May contain facts, data, figures or statistics on or from people, events, phenomena, structures, experiments, questionnaires, interviews, and library research.
• c. May include materials and procedures or methods.

3. Modes of Ordering

• a. Chronological or time order.
• b. Geographical or space / spatial order
• c. Logical – Inductive and Deductive
• d. Problem – Solution
• e. Cause and Effect
• f. Formal
• g. Abstract – Introduction – Background – Statement of the problem
• h. Materials – Method or Procedure – Results – Discussion – Summary
• i. Conclusion and Recommendation

4. Basic Qualities of a Good Report

• a. Objective, not subjective point of view.
• b. Accurate, not sloppy presentation of facts, numbers, statistics and data
• c. Honest, nor false or incomplete details and results
• d. Brief and direct

HOW TO WRITE A SURVEY REPORT

A survey report is a formal piece of writing based on research.

I – Structure

Introduction

State the purpose/aim of the report, when and how the information was gathered.

Main Body

All the information collected and analyzed is presented clearly and in detail (break down the respondents into groups according to sex, age and place of residence, state the main differences between groups). Subheadings, numbers or letters can be used to separate each piece of information.

Conclusion

Sum up the points mentioned above. If necessary a recommendation can be included as well (one way of summing up is making some general comments).

II. Useful hints and phrases:

Present Tenses, Reported Speech and an impersonal style should be used in survey reports. Use a variety of reporting verbs such as claim, state, report, agree, complain, suggest, etc.

When reporting the results of a survey, the figures gathered should be given in the form of percentages and proportions. Expressions such as “one in four” or “six out of ten” can be used, or exact percentages e.g. 25% of the people questioned, 68% of those who filled in the questionnaire, etc. Less exact expressions such as: the majority of those questioned, a large proportion of, a significant number of, etc. can also be used.

III. Useful language for reports:

To introduce: The purpose/aim of this report, As requested, This survey was carried out/ conducted by means of…, the questionnaire consisted of etc.

To generalize: In general, generally, on the whole, etc.

To refer to a fact: The fact is that…, In fact, In practice, etc.

To conclude/ summarize: In conclusion, all things considered, To sum up, All in all, It is not easy to reach any definite conclusions, if any conclusions may be drawn from the data, It is clear that, The survey shows/indicates/demonstrates, etc.

Sample Survey Report

Fast-food Addiction

A.

It is no secret that the US is leading the world in its swelling obesity. The nation is subsisting on a diet of high-calorie convenience food. In fact, Americans have increased their spending on fast-food items from Ṩ 6 billion to Ṩ 160 billion annually over the past four decades. What may Come as a shock, however, is the accumulation of evidence suggesting that the main ingredients in the typical “hamburger, fries and a cola” are addictive compounds that keep customers lining up for their next fix.

The key culprits are sugar and fat. Empirical studies reveal that the heavy dosage of these substances in today’s super-sized standard of a fast-food meal cantrigger brain activity similar to that endured when a person is on hard drugs. A representative individual serving McDonald’s or Burger King can dish out up to 2000 calories, including more than a cup of sugar and 84 grams of fats.

Single-handedly, this meal sized portion meets the full daily caloric requirement for the average woman. Moreover, it exceeds the recommended daily allowances of both sugar and fat for any adult, regardless of gender.

Whereas herein is an opiate, both sugar and fat stimulate endogenous opioidssuch as beta-endorphins in the hypothalamus, just above the brain stem. These naturally occurring painkillers activate the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter, into small cluster of cells located in the midbrain called the nucleus acumens. Here, dopamine functions to elicit feelings of pleasure or euphoria. What’s more, it motivates an

individual to proactively repeat any action that originally fuelled its production. In the case of sugar and fat, purported addiction is a consequence of the body craving the release of dopamine inherent in their consumption.

To validate reports that fat and sugar behave in a drug-like fashion, researchers have conducted laboratory studies demonstrating that they induce classic addictive symptoms. For example, eliminating sugar from the nutritional regime of rats that are used to a primarily sweet diet produced anxiety asymptomaticof heroin and nicotine withdrawal. Moreover, increased tolerance to addictive food substance was noted. In one experiment, rats were fed a chocolate drink containinga high ratio of both fat and sugar. Although the animals were found to ingest increasing amounts of the potent liquid, their total production of resulting brain opiates was, in fact, diminished. This would suggest that the rodents had become progressively more tolerant to the effects of fat and sugar. Furthermore, it is likely they would subsequently require a greater quantity in order to achieve the same high.

Likewise in humans, brain-imaging scans of obese and non-obese persons illustrate that the heftier the individual, the fewer dopamine receptors are present. Researchers are uncertain whether this is the basis or the outcome of obesity. However, as weight rises, individuals need to consume increasingly larger portions to experience a comparable euphoric effect.

Survey of Academic and General Reading in English

On 8th February 1999, a survey was conducted among 16 overseas postgraduate students at the University ofEngland. The purpose of the survey was to discover the reading habits in English of the students.

The survey was conducted by means of a questionnaire given to the students to complete. The first part of the questionnaire dealt with the type of reading and its frequency. The second section was concerned with newspapers: the type of items read and those that were read first.

From the table of data, the most significant items are as follows. In the first section 81% of the students regularly read academic books” while 44% regularly read academic journals. Nothing else is read regularly or often by 40% or more of the students. The following comments can be made about the reading of newspapers, magazines and fiction. 75% sometimes read regional or local newspapers, 69% sometimes read books of fiction, 62% sometimes read general magazines, and 56% sometimes read national daily newspapers. On the other hand, 37% never readSunday newspapers and 31% never read fiction.

In the second section, not surprisingly, 100% read news about their own country in newspapers and 56% readthis first. 94% read international news, 25% read this first. 81% read about Britain and look at radio and TV information. The only other item that is usually read by more than 50% of the students is current affairs (read by 56%).

If any conclusions may be drawn from the data, they are, perhaps, as follows. Overseas students presumably have little time for general reading: most of their reading time is spent on books and journals on their own subject. Outside their studies, apart from reading news about their own country, international news, and news about Britain, they probably spend most time watching TV and listening to the radio.

2. sugar and fat as the caloric content
3. 2,000 calories

When high dose of sugar and fat were given to rats, the rats Chocolate with increasing sugar and fat were given to rats. When high dose of the same drink was given, the rats showed tolerance to the effects of sugar and fat, as seen in the diminished release of opioids/opiates. Subsequently, they would require a higher dose to achieve the earlier effect of euphoria.
5. Applied to humans, brain scans show that the more obese one is, the fewer receptors, suggesting that the more sugar and fat are needed to experience euphoria.
