I would like to design a questionnaire for my MEd dissertation asking childminders about the ways in which they work in partnership with parents. I was hoping you lovely people would help me out as I need a lot of questionnaires returned!!

I'm formulating my questions at the moment but wondered whether anyone had any good ideas of what format to use to creat the questionnaire? I don't really want to do it on paper and have things being posted by mail. I was thinking either I could email people the questionnaire or maybe use the internet to create a questionnaire which people could fill out online?

I'm quite keen to give people the option of being contacted via email or phone so that I can ask more in depth questions about answers to the initial questionnaire if needed so I'm keen to have the results of each individual questionnaire not just a percentage result from all of them if you see what I mean!

Has anyone done this before especially on here or does anyone have any ideas?

I've filled in a couple of questionnaires for members on here - they e-mailed them to me and I filled in and sent back. Was quite straight forward so that may be the way to go

I think maybe that's the easiest way Miffy thanks. How did they go about getting participants? Could I put out a plea and then anyone wanting to help could pm me their email address?

Yes, that's exactly what they did!

Polly2 did one on here recently for her research project. Mine was for parents to complete so I didn't need to put out a plea. If you ask on here there will be plenty of offers to help. Often from other studiers as they understand how important it is:rolleyes:

I think you just have to be a bit careful when laying the questionairre out as when someone fills it in the answers can quite often go all over the place. I hope that makes sense!!!

I'm more than happy to fill in your questionnaire when the time comes. Like the others, I've done them on-line following a plea on here for people to come forward :)

As Manjay said I did this a couple of weeks ago. It was great! Everyone was soooo supportive - Everyone returned them more or less straight away and I had some brilliant comments and answers :clapping:

Mine had a mixture of tick boxes and palces for people to write their thoughts. Feel free to Pm me if you would like to see it. Although I imagine yours would be more indepth if its for a dissertation.

I think if I had had to chase local cm's around I would have been doing it for months :rolleyes:

I just put out a plea and them peeps pm'd me with their e mail addys it worked brilliantly.

I will fill one in :D
