A. Reading Activity
Read the sample text lifted from a research conducted and answer the
following questions below.
Population Frame and Sample Scheme
The researchers aimed to identify the most common grammatical mistakes of fifth-
year Computer Engineering students from school years 2014 to 2017. The
researchers conducted random sampling in selecting the respondents since only
the thesis write-ups for 2014 are available for access. The researchers sought help
from one of RTU’s research project leaders in order to gain permission to look into
the thesis write-ups from 2014 to 2017. The highest number of thesis write-ups
available for the school year 2017 is 5, so in order to be able to correlate the write-
ups equally, the researchers took 5 thesis write-ups for each year from 2014 to
2017. The average number of researchers per thesis is 7.
The researches of this study utilized thesis write-ups in a span of four years in the
Computer Engineering of Rizal Technological University as basis in identifying the
most common grammatical errors in technical writing data in each school year 2014
to 2017; hence the number of respondents in each school year varies. In school
year 2014, there was a total of 20 respondents. In school year 2015, there was a
total of 31 respondents. Furthermore, in 2016, there was a total of 51 respondents
and in School year 2017, there was a total of 33 respondents. Overall, a total of
135 respondents was subjected into this study by the researchers (Cailing,
Escolta, Manalusan, Marcelo, and Pamintuan, 2018).

What is It
Conducting a research really follows a separate and scientific procedure
starting from identifying a research problem, formulating a research title, writing the
background of the research , constructing a research questions or statement of the
problem and conceptualizing the quantitative research design to be used in the
study, before a researcher can proceed to the process of collecting quantitative data
in order to arrive in the findings or the results of the study. According to Creswell
(2014), there are five steps in the process of collecting quantitative data. These
processes are not just merely or simply gathering information but it contains
interrelated process.
First, determine the participants of the study. Second, obtain permission needed
from several individuals and organizations. Third, collect information from the
respondents or participants and other sources that can be used in qualitative
research. Fourth, construct and choose appropriate quantitative research
instrument that will be useful for data collection. Lastly, administer data collection
process to gather the necessary data for the study.
This module will solely focus on the first step of collecting data which is to
determine the participants of the study. Specifically, you will learn the different
terminologies in sampling procedure as the process of selecting and determining the
participants of the study. Differentiating probability and non-probability sampling
techniques and discussing the process of conducting sampling procedure in which
some of the terminologies are discussed in the sample text in the reading activity and
the rest of the terms under this lesson will be discussed below.
In the first set of activity in “What’s In”, you are required to identify whether
the data being described is qualitative or quantitative. Based on your answer what
are the items that you considered as quantitative data?

The figure above shows the difference among term discussed a while ago, from
the population as the large group up to the smallest circle which represents the
sampling unit.
In the set B activity of “What’s New” you are instructed to determine the general
and specific terms among the underlined terms in the given statement. The general
terms that you have identified are what you call the target population while the
specific terms underlined are the sample size being lifted from the target population.
In item #1, “A survey of 250 jeepney drivers, 75% of the jeepney drivers are using
traditional jeepney.” The 250 jeepney drivers represents the target population while
75% of the jeepney drivers from the 250 refers to the sample size. So, the next
question is “How do you select a sample for your study?”, this question will be
answered through the following steps:
1. Defining the target population: as defined a while ago, it is a group of
individuals or a group of organization with some common defining
characteristics.
2. Specifying the sampling frame: after identifying the target population,
researcher can now decide on the sample frame. As defined, sampling frame is
the list of elements from which the sample may be drawn.
Example:
Target Population: Senior High School Academic Track
Sampling frame:
A. Humanities and Social Science
B. General Academic Strand
C. Accountancy Business and Management
D. Science and Technology Engineering and Mathematics
3. Specifying the sampling unit: based on the definition of Creswell (2014),
sampling unit refer to the individual number of the target population or a
cluster of members included in the target population. In the example above,
since the target population is the Grade 12 senior high school under the frame
of academic track, therefore all the individuals from grade 12 male and female
students are included in the sampling unit.

4. Selection of Sample method: one factor that may affect the process of choosing
the sampling method for your proposed research paper is the nature and
objective of the study. Once the researcher knows the nature and objective of
the study including the research design, he/she can easily decides on the
sampling method to be used either probability sampling or non-probability
sampling.

The table below will show how the population size of 400 is
divided into the following strata (according to academic track)

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE
Based on the result, the strata sample size are as follows, in
HUMSS out of 150 students, the strata sample size of 56
students will be used. For GAS, out of 125 students, the strata
sample size of 47 students will be used. In ABM, out 50
students, the strata sample size of 19 students will be used.
Lastly, in STEM out of 75 students, the strata sample size of
28 students will be used.
