Practical Research 2

Learning Competency
“describes sampling
procedure and the sample”
 Objectives of the lesson
At the end of the lesson the learner will be able
to:
• Define key concepts in sampling such as
population, sample, sampling frame, and
probability sampling
• Describe sampling procedures
• Apply probability techniques in the selection
of cases
 Warm up activity
Scenario…
Dave and jule are owners of a local gym in a
small town. They want to know what types of
equipment or classes will be most popular. They
decide to do a survey to find out the answer to
their question.
Lead the students to consider who will
answer the survey. Ask:
1. What it is called when you ask some people,
but not all people to answer a survey?
2. Why wouldn't you ask all the people related
to a survey topic to answer a survey?
3. What do you call the entire group of people
that you are interested in asking questions
about on a survey?
4. Does it matter which people you ask to
answer your survey?
Sampling
- is the process of getting information from a
proper subset of population

- means choosing from a large

population the respondents or subjects to
answer your research questions. The entire
population is involved but for your research
study, you choose only a part of the whole.
 Important statistical terms
Population:
a technical term in research
which means a big group of
people from where you choose
the sample
Sample:
• A subset of the population
 Benefits of Sampling
1. Sampling is economical, cheaper, and faster
2. It saves time, money and effort
3. It is more accurate
4. It gives more comprehensive information
5. It is more effective
 Sampling process
Step 1:
Target population must be defined
Step 2:
Sampling must be determined
Step 3:
Appropriate sampling technique must be selected
Step 4:
Sample size must be determined
Step 5:
Sampling process must be executed
 Sampling procedures
• Probability sampling – is the selection of
individuals from the population so that they
are representative of the population.
 Probability Sampling techniques
• Simple random sampling
• Systematic sampling
• Cluster (area) sampling
• Stratified sampling
• Multistage sampling
 Simple random
• Random sample from whole population
• choosing of respondents based on pure
chance
 Systematic sampling
• In this type, the individuals in the population
are arranged in methodical manner, that is,
alphabetical, chronological (age, experience,
academic rank), or the n name is selected as
sample.
• Select a random starting point and then select
every kth subject in the population
 Cluster sampling
• Random samples of successive clusters of
subject (e.g., by institution) until small groups
are chosen as one
• For instance, blocks or districts, in a
municipality, or city composed of population
individuals and are chosen either by random
sampling or systematic sampling.
 Stratified sampling
• Random sample from identifiable groups
(strata), subgroups, etc.
• choosing a sample that will later on be
subdivided into strata, sub-groups, or sub-
samples during the stage of the data analysis.
 Multi-stage sampling
• Combination of cluster and stratified random
sampling of individuals
• For example, in nationwide study, the regions
are selected as first stage; provinces, second;
municipalities; 3rd stage; barangays. Hence,
there are four stages
