This study aims to find out the opinion of the self-survey team members in Colleges and Universities making the self-survey for accreditation regarding the task, the PAASCU SSF A, and some procedures and techniques involved in self-survey. A 45-item questionnaire was used to gather data from 320 SS team members in ten colleges and universities throughout the Philippines. Interviews were also conducted on 95 survey executives, assistant executives, committee and area chairmen. It was the opinion of the self-survey teams that the task of self-survey was meaningful, useful and purposeful. Also, it was the self-survey team members' opinion that the PAASCU SSF A was an almost efficient, almost effective, and almost economical tool for self-survey, and that the procedures and techniques investigated had an almost positive contribution to the efficient, effective and economical accomplishment of the task. There was a significant difference, at the .01 level, between expected and observed opinions with respect to the meaningfulness and usefulness of self-survey but not with respect to its purposefulness. There was also a significant difference between the expected and observed opinions regarding the efficiency and economy of the PAASCU SSF A at the .05 and .01 levels but not regarding its effectiveness. Also, there was a significant difference between the expected and observed opinions regarding some procedures and techniques involved in the self-survey at the .05 and .01 levels, which meant that though some procedures and techniques were perceived as contributing almost positively towards the SS, there could be a need on the part of the SS team members to be thoroughly familiar with the procedures and techniques involved in SS.
