Students Must Know! Cost-Effective Tips in Distributing Thesis Surveys

In the world of lectures, university students are often faced with research assignments that require them to disseminate surveys. This data collection method is usually needed when working on thesis. Jakpat conducted research on 740 respondents to find out their experience in doing survey assignments.

University Students and Survey Assignments

In general, 43% of respondents aged 18-27 admitted that they had or were working on a college assignment that required the distribution of surveys. Specifically for active students, only 10% never get a survey assignment. This means that surveys are an important part of academic life. The survey was conducted for various purposes, ranging from course assignments (56%) to thesis research (55%).

In looking for respondents, 73% of people use communication applications as the main medium for disseminating surveys. In this method, 88% sent the survey to a group containing the closest people, while another 64% spread it through private messages. As many as 3 out of 5 respondents asked for the help of their closed ones to fill out or distribute their survey.

Septiana Widi Sugiastuti, Research Lead at Jakpat, revealed that the need for surveys among Indonesian students is quite high. “They often need primary data for academic research.”

The majority of people (69%) need between one week to one month to collect respondents, and even 12% of people need 1-2 months. This process often requires quite high costs, both for the dissemination of surveys and incentives for respondents. As many as 71% of people allocated funds with an average expenditure of Rp531,000. Only 29% of respondents did not spend money.

Challenges

Students face various challenges in the dissemination of the survey, such as difficulty finding respondents (70%), respondents who do not meet the criteria (55%), and limited time (54%). These challenges often slow down the completion of tasks and cause stress, with 93% of respondents admitting to experiencing stress while working on survey assignments.
