task 2 issues

To collect my primary  research, i asked members of staff around the school a few questions,  to get the data i needed to see what should be the main story, however i would have liked to interview  more people to expand my research  but it was hard to fine them because we only had an  hour to find them however i still interviewed five members of staff and because i asked for two issues from each i had a wider range of data to chosse from . Afterwards i put my data in an excel spreadsheet, i put my questions in the top row sideways and the answers underneath.  my primary research showed , that behaviour was the main issue and 3 out of my 5 interview suggested it, they all think its an important issue and should be highlighted in are issue to inform students and parents, and feel are readers would be interested. However behaviour is an important issue but it is not the most intresting and somethink such as the new uniform would make a better issue to talk about.

questionnaire

To  answers  the five question which were most popular game console and top five games  ,what radio station people listen to and there favourite DJ, number of times people visit the cinema and  the last film they saw , also how many people have satellite televisions and how many hours they watch in an average week and lastly which social  networking site people use and how many contacts they have on it .

I collected my data , by putting down  each question and underneath i put different boxes for them to tick, this is called quantitative data. For other questions which is classed as qualitative data , i gave them a box to put there answer in .

I collected my answers,by going around my class and given them each a questionnaire.

 Afterwards I recorded my answers on Microsoft excel. I  put each question and possible answers in columns one after each other. afterwards for each persons questionnaire,  i put the data in  by using a y to represent a tick , and wrote there qualitative questions in longer columns which took  longer .

I then collated this data by ordering it by  using data sort ,  for specific information i needed to answer  the five questions. The quantitative data , was easy to count up,  however the qualitative data took much longer.
