The two fields on a survey question form that create assessment metric definitions are the data type (qualitative or quantitative) and the measurement tool appropriate for that data. Quantitative data is countable and statistically analyzable, while qualitative data is subjective and often derived from open-ended questions.
The system uses two fields on the survey question form to create assessment metric definitions. These fields are the type of data obtained from each question (qualitative, quantitative discrete, or quantitative continuous) and the measurement tool appropriate for the data. For instance, demographics or categorical data could be collected as numbers and then reported using categorical terms such as A, B, C, etc.
Additionally, questionnaires used in surveys can collect both quantitative data, which is numerically based and can be easily counted and analyzed, like 'yes-or-no' or multiple-choice questions, and qualitative data, which is more subjective and seen in more complex answers derived from open-ended questions.
So, these two fields are crucial as they define how the information will be recorded and ultimately analyzed, shaping the metrics that assess the survey results.
