In order to ask somebody to participate in your survey you need to create your questionnaire which is simply lists of questions written down in advance and asked in a fixed order, they can be administered face to face, by telephone or by post and email.
Questions may be:
Closed - The range of possible answers is fixed for example, Have you achieved 5 A*-C grades in your GCSE's? Yes/No
Open-ended - The respondent can answer however they like for example, What encouraged you to achieve in school?
Multiple Choice - There are a number of options the respondent can choose from when answering, for example, Why did you not achieve as well as you should have?
Didn't have the resources at home
Didn't have support from teachers
Didn't revise as much as you should have
Other .....
Closed and multiple choice questions can produce quantitative data but limits the answers the respondent can give whereas open-ended questions enable the respondent to express themselves but produces data that is difficult to express quantitatively.
