Özet

Survey  research  is  a  challenging  and time-consuming  process,  but current  technology  offers  educational 

researchers ample opportunities to design and administer time-efficient surveys. With the help of ubiquitous web-

based technologies, it is now possible to design and administer a full-length survey on an online platform at no cost 

at all. The use of such open-source software or free web services makes it possible to design web surveys which 

are  virtually  impossible  for  the  non-expert  to  design  and  publish  online  through  coding  oriented  web  design 

software. This study aims to get to the basics of efficiently designed and scientifically validated surveys. It basically 

discusses various significant points related to survey methodology such as web-based survey design, sampling, 

data analysis, validation and ethical issues.
