Closed Questionnaires

Advantages

few set of questions to answer to choose from (reliable=repeatable)
quick and easy to complete= easier to compare
practical consideration=less costly to analyse
enhances the generalisation of the results

Disadvantages

different parents of different classes + ethnicities, may interpret it differently (elaborated/restricted code)
might not agree with any of the answers they have to choose from, **** choose the closest one
younger children require more time than adults to understand the questions
limited answers= cannot say everything they want
many options confuse the respondent

Evaluation

It useful to some extent, because it is reliable (repeatable) + cheap, but limited.Any method can be better with triangulation (after research) and/or methodological research (during research)
