A questionnaire is a set of written questions used to collect information from people. In GCSE Sociology, students often learn about questionnaires as a way to gather data for research. These questions can be about people’s opinions, behaviours, or characteristics, and they are answered on paper or online. Questionnaires are useful because they can collect information from a large number of people in a structured way. They can include closed questions, which have set answers to choose from, or open questions, where people can write their own answers. This method helps sociologists understand trends in societies and communities.
