PRACTICAL RESEARCH I- G11

Quarter 4 – Week 2
Competency: Describe sampling procedure and sample.
Lesson: Sampling Procedure for Qualitative Research

Objectives:
1. Differentiate population from sample.
2. Describe the sampling procedure of a study.
3. Differentiate the non-probability sampling techniques from one
another.

CONCEPT

Family is the smallest unit of society. We can consider society or

community as the larger group, and family as the smaller group within
the larger group, or what is known as a subset. Within the family,
subsets can also exist: siblings, parents, brother, eldest, and many more.
If you are a researcher, and you would like to know or research more
about these subsets, we term these subsets as samples. From the first
example, we can consider society or community as the population of our
study, and the family as our sample.

 ACTIVITY NO.1

Getting Started

Activity 1. Pretend that you are cooking a meal for your family. You are
preparing your specialty dishes- pork adobo and sinigang na bangus―and, of
course steamed rice to complete the meal. You are almost finished, but you
want to check if everything tastes good and has been cooked just the way your
family likes it. What will you do?

1. Of course, you don’t need to eat everything to find out how the dishes
taste. But how much do you need to eat to find out wether or not the
dishes are as desired?

sinigang and its multiple ingredients? How do you check if it’s well done
and tasty?

Discussion
SAMPLING IN RESEARCH
Sampling is a process through which a researcher selects portion
or segment from the population at the center of the researcher’s
study.
Population is a group of persons or subjects that possess some
common characteristics that are of interest to the researcher, and
about which the researcher seeks to learn more.
2 Groups of Population
Target population is composed of the entire group of people or
objects to which the researcher wishes to generalize the findings of
the study.
Accessible population is a portion of the population to which the
researcher has reasonable access.
The individual participants in the study are often referred to
as subjects or respondents. The subjects are individuals or
entities which serve as the focus of the study. Respondents are
individuals or groups of people who actively serve as sources of the
information during data collection. These two may also be referred
as elements- particularly if said elements are objects, rather than
people.
Take for example a study focused on the behavior of the
students who belong to broken families. The students who belong
to these families are the subjects of the study, which may also be
the respondents the researcher seeks to interview directly or
indirectly. If the researcher interviews or surveys the classmates of

these students, the students remain the subjects, and the
classmates then become the respondents.
A statistic is a number describing property of a sample,
whereas a parameter is a number describing a property of a
population. A statistic can be used to estimate the parameter in
what is called a statistical inference.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN DETERMINING THE SAMPLE

DATA
1. Homogeneity of the population. The higher the degree of
homogeneity of the population, the smaller the sample size
that can be utilized.
2. Degree of precision desired by the researcher. The larger the
sample size, the higher the precision or accuracy of the
results will be.
3. Types of sampling procedure. Probability sampling uses
smaller sample sizes than non- probability sampling.
VARIOUS APPROACHES TO DETERMINE THE SAMPLE SIZE
1. Sample size as small as 30 are generally adequate to ensure
that the sampling distribution of the mean will approximate
the normal curve.
2. When the total population is equal or less than 100, this
same number may serve as the sample size. This is called
universal sampling.
3. Slovin’s formula is used to compute for sample size.
4. According to Gay (1976), the following are the acceptable
sizes for different types of research:
a. Descriptive research- 10% to 20% may be required.
b. Comparative research- 15 subjects or groups
5. Use Calmorin’s formula.

TYPES AND SUBTYPES OF SAMPLING
In the book, Nursing Research: Principles and Methods, Polit and
Beck (2004) list the different types and subtypes of sampling:
1. Probability sampling is a type of sampling in which all the
members of an entire population are given an equal chance
of being selected. This is also called scientific sampling.
a. Simple random sampling is a method of choosing
samples in which all the members of the population are
given an equal chance of being selected.
b. Stratified random sampling, the population is first
divided into strata, and then sampling follows. Age,
gender, and educational qualifications are some possible
criteria used to divide a population and strata.
c. Cluster sampling is used in large-scale studies, where the
population is geographically spread out. Sampling
procedures may be difficult and time consuming.
d. Cluster sampling is a method of selecting every nth
element of a population, e.g, every fifth, ninth, or eleventh
element until the desired sample size is reached.
2. Non-probability sampling is a process of selecting
respondents in which not all members of the population are
given chance of being selected as samples. This is also called
non-scientific sampling.
a. Convenience sampling. It is also called accidental on
incidental sampling.
b. Quota sampling is somewhat similar to stratified
sampling, in that population is divided into strata, and the
researcher deliberately sets specific proportions in the
sample, whether or not the resulting proportion is
reflective of the total population. This is commonly done to
ensure the inclusion of a particular segment of the
population.
c. Purposive sampling involves handpicking subjects,
usually to suit to every specific intention. This is also called
judgmental sampling.
