After success of my seminar on schedule design, I like to share some of my thoughts. Just after thinking of the seminar, I started reading on the topic and found few areas are highly overlooked in the PG level of psychology and education. These areas are non response and scaling dissimilarity in schedule. Next, I met Professor B.K. Sinha for his advice. He appreciated my ideas and told me that he would be present in the seminar in spirit as he would be out of station. With his blessing, I sent my request to the Director for approval. Initially, it returned and then I met our Prof-in-charge for the same. He guided me. Finally it was approved.

Finally, during long procession of CPM, I took taxi and personally met all the HOD of universities and institutes. Gradually, I got very good response from different participants.

On 8th December, I am going to organize one seminar on schedule design for psychological and educational survey researches. http://www.isical.ac.in/~psy/sem/Sem.htm The idea came to my mind during my work on social safety network program and on rural workers training impact study. In earlier case, I found that many explanatory variables were not properly accounted, no pilot testing of schedule, and the most difficult problem was scale equating. Correspondence between nominal and interval scale In the schedule, if some statements are categorical, some are in the form of interval scale. It becomes difficult to make adjustment with the scales. One possibility for determining association between nominal and interval scale is to use cross tab analysis of both categories of responses. In that case each rating category will be under the analysis.
