Pelatihan Pembuatan Kuesioner Penelitian Bagi Mahasiswa Prodi Administrasi Negara Fisip Universitas Nusa Cendana

Abstract

Abstract - Research Questionnaire is the main instrument in collecting data on a quantitative approach. A good research questionnaire (valid and reliable) is crucial to avoid bias towards research conclusions. Community Service regarding the creation of a research questionnaire aims; (a) provide training to students on how to operationalize research variables; (b) provide training to students on how to compose questions based on the results of the operationalization of research variables; (c) provide training to students to determine the validity and reliability of research instruments. The methods used are discourse, discussions, and simulations about making questionnaires. Based on the results of the activity evaluation, it was found that 71% of participants were able to understand and make questionnaires well, while the remaining 29% of trainees still had difficulty implementing the training material. The conclusion of the results of this community service is that training in making questionnaires for students is very useful and becomes the basic capital for students in the process of completing their final assignment (thesis) so that students have other choices in using research methods in the framework of completing the final assignment.
