VI. Concept Notes

Sampling Procedures and Sample

The primary goal of sampling is to get a representative sample, or a small

collection of units or cases from a much larger collection or population, such that
the researcher can study the smaller group and procedure accurate
generalizations about the larger groups (Neuman, 2007).

1
 Qualitative researchers focus on how the sample or small collection of
cases, units, or activities illuminate key features of social life. The purpose of
sampling is to collect cases, events, or actions that clarify and deepen
understanding.

Population

The first step in determining the sample

size is identifying the population of the topic of
interest. The population is the totality of all the
objects, elements, persons, and characteristics
under consideration.

There are two types of population used in

research: target population and accessible
population. The target population is the actual
population, for example, all Senior High School
(SHS) students enrolled in Accountancy,
Business and Management (ABM) Strand in the
Schools Division of Vigan City. Meanwhile, the
accessible population is a portion of the
population in which the researcher has
reasonable access, for example all SHS
students enrolled in ABM Strand at Ilocos Sur
National High School (ISNHS).

When the whole population is too costly

or time–consuming or impractical to consider by
the researcher, then, a sample representative is
identified. Sample is the specific group that you
will collect data from. Its size is always less than
the population. For example, the samples that
you will be using are the two (2) class sections
of ABM in ISNHS.

Sampling

Sampling pertains to the systematic process of selecting the group to be

analyzed in the research. Sampling, in research, is a word that refers to the method
or procedures of choosing respondents to answer the question. According to Paris
(2013), the bigger the group from where you can choose the sample is called
population, and sampling frame is the list of members of such population from where
you will get the sample.

There are two kinds of sampling: the probability sampling or unbiased

sampling and non – probability sampling.

1. Probability Sampling
This kind of sampling requires a researcher like you to have a list of your
target respondents focused on your study. This sampling provides an equal
2
 chance of participation in the selection process given to every member listed in
the sampling frame. As a researcher, always remember that the smaller the
sample is, the higher chance of sampling error. Therefore, the bigger the
number of respondents will avoid sample errors. Sample errors yield if the
selection does not take place in the way it is planned by the researcher.

2. Non – probability Sampling

It disregards random selection of respondents. According to Edmond
(2013), the subjects are chosen based on the availability or the purpose of the
study, in some cases it is the discretion of the researcher.

1. Simple Probability Sampling

- uses a pure chance selection process.
PROBABILITY SAMPLING

- runs from making a list of all respondents, writing each name

on the card, choosing cards through a pure chance selection.
- uses any of the following way: fishbowl technique, roulette
wheel, or table of random numbers.
Example: population: 30; sample: 15

The researcher may write all 30 names in a clean sheet of paper,

place it in a bowl and draw 15 papers out of the bowl.
SAMPLING TECHNIQUES

2. Systematic Probability Sampling

- uses sampling interval that will be used as quasi-random
selection method.
- runs from determining sampling interval, determining the number
of population and sample and computing for the sampling ratio.

Example: population: 1500; sample: 150

150/1500 = 0.1 x 100 = 10%. The sampling interval is 10.

3. Stratified Probability Sampling

- is used in a study needing group – by – group analysis.
- divides population according to strata or groups before selecting
samples.
Example: group the population according to age, gender, etc.

4. Cluster Probability Sampling

- samples economically while retaining the characteristics of a
probability sample.
- runs through multiple clusters of people from the chosen
population will be created to have homogenous characteristics.
Example: population: 1000; sample: 150
The researcher can randomly select at least three (3) groups with
50 participants to represent the sample.
1. Quota Sampling
- is used when the researcher knows the characteristics of the
target population.
3
- is used when the budget is tight and time is limited for the study.
Example: population: 200 (100 males and 100 females) sample:
100 (25% males and 75% females).
 NON-PROBABILITY SAMPLING

2. Voluntary Sampling
SAMPLING TECHNIQUES

- is a sampling technique wherein the subjects for the study are the
ones volunteering to be part of the sample.
- has no selection process.
Example: The researcher puts out a request from the members of
the population to join the sample, and the people will decide
whether to be in sample.

3. Purposive or Judgmental Sampling

- is used when the researcher chooses the people who are sure to
correspond to the objectives of the study.
Example: The study is about choosing a course in college. The
researcher will interview students who will pursue college
education.

4. Availability Sampling
- is used when the researcher automatically includes the persons
who show willingness to participate in the study.
- Also known as convenience sampling
Example: A marketing student needs to get feedback regarding the
taste of a new variant of certain food endorsed in the market. He
can create an online survey, send a link to all the contacts on his
phone, share the link in social media, and talk to people he met
daily.

5. Snowball Sampling
- does not give a specific set of samples.
- is used for a study involving unspecified group of people.
Example: A researcher is conducting a study among homeless
Badjao families in Vigan. The first homeless Badjao family he
met will be the primary data. The researcher can collect data
from other homeless Badjao families who are referred by the
first Badjao family. Referral of other homeless Badjao family
may continue until the researcher completed the number of
Badjao families he will include in the study.
