Researh Sampling

This document discusses research sampling, which involves selecting a subset of a population to study rather than the entire population due to feasibility constraints. It describes the purposes of research sampling as achieving representativeness, generalizability, accuracy, and addressing ethical concerns while conserving resources. The document outlines common sampling methods like random, stratified, and systematic sampling and provides steps for developing an effective sampling plan and analyzing results.

RESEARCH SAMPLING

Sampling is the selection of a subset of the population of interest


in a research study. In the vast majority of research endeavors,
the participation of an entire population of interest is not possible,
so a smaller group is relied upon for data collection.
PURPOSE OF RESEARCH SAMPLING

RESEARCH SAMPLING AIMS TO ACHIEVE REPRESENTATIVENESS BY


EFFICIENTLY SELECTING A SAMPLE FROM A LARGER POPULATION TO
MAKE ACCURATE GENERALIZATIONS WHILE CONSIDERING FEASIBILITY,
VARIABILITY, AND ETHICAL PRINCIPLES. THIS APPROACH CONSERVES
RESOURCES, MINIMIZES RISKS, AND ALLOWS FOR COMPARATIVE
ANALYSES.
TYPES
Stratified Sampling
Random Sampling
Systematic Sampling
RANDOM SAMPLING

In this method, every member of the population


has an equal chance of being selected. It minimizes
bias and is commonly used when the population is
large and diverse.
STRATIFIED SAMPLING
The population is divided into subgroups (strata)
based on specific characteristics, and random
samples are taken from each stratum. This
method ensures representation of different
subgroups.
SYSTEMATIC SAMPLING
Researchers select every nth member from a list
or sequence, starting from a random point. It's
simple and can be more efficient than random
sampling when the population is ordered.
EXAMPLE
OBJECTIVE

The objectives of research sampling are to achieve


representativeness, efficiency, generalizability, accuracy,
feasibility, variability analysis, resource conservation, risk
reduction, enable comparative analysis, and address
ethical considerations within research studies.
STEPS ON HOW TO WRITE
RESEARCH SAMPLING
Define research objectives: Start by clearly stating the goals and questions your research aims to
address. Knowing what you want to study is the foundation for designing an effective sampling plan.
Identify the target population: Define the entire group or population that your research is focused on.
Clarity in defining the population is critical for selecting a representative sample.
Choose a suitable sampling method: Select an appropriate method for drawing a sample. Common
methods include random sampling, stratified sampling, convenience sampling, etc. Your choice should align
with your research goals.
Determine the sample size: Calculate the required sample size based on statistical factors like confidence
level, margin of error, and population variability. This step ensures your sample is statistically valid.
Select the sample: Use the chosen sampling method to select a subgroup from the target population. This
ensures that the sample represents the larger population.
Collect data: Gather data from the selected sample using research methods such as surveys, interviews,
observations, or experiments. This step generates the information needed for analysis.
STEPS ON HOW TO WRITE
RESEARCH SAMPLING
Analyze the data: Process and analyze the data collected from your sample using statistical techniques.
This analysis helps you draw conclusions and make inferences about the entire population.
Report findings: Present the results of your research, including details about the sampling method used,
sample size, and any limitations or potential biases. Clarity in reporting is essential for transparency.
Discuss implications and generalizability: Reflect on the broader significance of your findings in the
context of your research objectives. Address how well your sample's findings can be applied to the entire
population.
Reflect on limitations and validity: Recognize and discuss any limitations in your sampling plan, such as
potential bias or non-response issues. Consider both internal and external validity of your research.
Make recommendations for future research: Based on your findings, offer suggestions for future
research directions or practical applications. Share insights for advancing the field of study.
Review and refine: After completing your research, evaluate your sampling plan's effectiveness and
identify areas for improvement. Learning from your experiences will aid in designing better sampling plans
for future studies.
SUMMARY
Research sampling involves selecting a subset of a target population
to collect data for a study. It begins with defining research
objectives, identifying the population, choosing an appropriate
sampling method and size, selecting the sample, collecting and
analyzing data, and reporting findings. Considerations for
generalizability, limitations, and recommendations for future
research are important. The process concludes with a review and
refinement of the sampling plan for future studies.
