Good vs Bad Survey Questions

Well-Written Survey Question

To what extent do Bamboozle games increase your motivation to participate in English lessons?
(1 = Not at all, 2 = Slightly, 3 = Moderately, 4 = Very much, 5 = Extremely)

Reasons:

·       The question is clear and specific, focusing on motivation in English lessons.

·       The Likert scale allows for varying degrees of response, improving reliability.

 Poorly Constructed Survey Question

Do you think Bamboozle games are fun and motivating and help you learn English better than traditional lessons?

Reasons: 

·       It is double-barreled, asking about fun, motivation, and learning effectiveness in one question.

·       Key terms such as “fun” and “learn better” are vague and subjective, reducing validity.
