- Well-written survey question
“Using mobile learning applications helps me learn new English vocabulary effectively.”
Why this is good:
- The question is clear and specific
- It measures one idea only (effectiveness of MALL for vocabulary learning)
- The wording is neutral and does not lead respondents toward a particular answer
- It is appropriate for a Likert-scale response
- Poorly constructed survey question
“Mobile learning apps are interesting and help students learn vocabulary better than traditional methods, don’t you agree?”
Why this is bad:
- It is double-barreled (asks about interest and effectiveness at the same time)
- It is leading (“don’t you agree?” encourages agreement)
- It compares two learning methods in a biased and unclear way
- Respondents may agree with one part but not the other, reducing accuracy
