Sampling

This study will be conducted at Pangasinan National High School wherein the selected
population is the Grade 12 students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).
There are a total of 244 population of Grade 12 STEM students which is divided into 5 sections in
Pangasinan National High School in Lingayen, Pangasinan. 49 students for STEM 1, 46 students for STEM
2, 48 students for STEM 3, 50 students for STEM 4, and 49 students for STEM 5.

In determining the sample size, the researchers will make use of Slovin's Formula. Slovin's
formula helps the researchers determine how large the sample size needs to be to provide valid
accuracy of results. By using Slovin's Formula, the researchers will choose the confidence levels and
margins of error. This formula is also often used when there is little to no information to identify the
appropriate sample size. (Slovin E, 1960)

SLOVIN’S FORMULA:

N
n= 2 Wherein: N= Population size
1+ N e
n= Sample Size

e= Margin of Error

Given: N= 244

e= 100% - 95%= 5%= 0.05

Required: n= ?

N
Equation: n= 2
1+ N e
Solution:
244
n= 2
1+(244)(0.05)
n=151.55
Answer: 151.55 = 152

As the computed sample size is 152. Therefore, there will be a 152 respondent who will be
answering the questionnaires. The researchers will make use of the simple random sampling to
determine the number of respondents for each section divided. According to an article written by CFI
Education Inc. (2022), simple random sampling is a data collection method that allows unbiased data
collection, which lets studies arrive at unbiased conclusions. The researchers will randomly select a small
portion from a whole population which allows each individual of a population an equal and fair
probability of being chosen (CFI Education Inc., 2022).

Based on the Table 1, there will be 153 samples from the population of 244 students under the
confidence level of 95%. Among those 153 students, 31 were from STEM 1,3,4,5, and 29 were from
STEM 2.
