Asking the Right Questions, The Right Why: Improving the Quality of Your Training Surveys

ATD Capability Model:

Personal: Communication

Professional: Learning Sciences, Instructional Design, Evaluating Impact

Organizational: Data and Analytics

Description:

Needs analysis and learning assessments are an ongoing and essential part of any training development process. To obtain the best possible information, a high-quality assessment requires high-quality data.

How do you create quality data to answer the questions in your needs analysis? You do this by asking the right questions in the right way. With the increased accessibility to powerful online survey tools, you do not need a lot of experience in research design to create a great survey. However, you do need to understand some of the barriers to getting the right information from your participants. This session will focus on techniques and design approaches that will improve the quality of the data you collect, increase participant response rates, and reduce unnecessary bias that we often unintentionally right into our research questions.

What you will learn:

How to develop and write better focused questions to generate actionable insight.
How to recognize and reduce bias in question to increase response rate and improve data quality.
How to understand the importance of screener and demographic question to improve participant sample validity.
How to select the best question order and format to increase participant response and engagement.
