Sampling Technique

The total population of Grade 12 Senior High School of

Garcia College of Technology, Inc. High School Department is

four hundred fifty seven (457). The students are enrolled

from different strands: Accountancy, Business and Management

(ABM), Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics

(STEM), and Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) in second

semester of School Year 2019-2020. Two hundred thirteen

(213) are selected as sample size from four hundred fifty

seven (457) given population.

In this study, in selecting and identifying the

respondents of the study the researcher used the multi-stage

sampling procedure which consists of stratified random

sampling and systematic random sampling with a random start.

Stratified random sampling is a method of sampling that

involves the division of a population into smaller groups

known as strata. (Nikolas, 2019)

Systematic sampling is a type of probability sampling

method in which sample members from a larger population are

selected according to a random starting point but a with a

fixed, periodic interval. (Hayes, 2019)

The sample size was derived using the Slovin’s Formula.

N
n=
1+ N ⅇ 2
Where:

n = sample size

N = population

e = margin of error

A total of 213 respondents was derived from the above

formula which is the Slovin’s Formula.

First step. The researcher applied stratified random

sampling to determine the number of respondents in every

strand. The ABM with a total population of one hundred fifty

four (154) students, STEM with a total population of two

hundred thirty five (235) students, and HUMSS with a total

population of sixty eight (68) students. To get the sample

size, the researchers used the stratified random sampling

that is showed in Table 1.

Through it, the researcher came up with seventy two

(72) respondents from ABM, one hundred nine (109)

respondents from STEM, and thirty two (32) respondents from

HUMSS.

Table 1. Sampling Fraction of Population, Sample Size, and

Distribution of Percentage of the Respondents According to

Strata

Sampling
Strand Population Fraction Sample Size

ABM 154 154÷ 457 × 213 72


STEM 235 235÷ 457 × 213 109
HUMSS 68 68÷ 457 × 213 32
TOTAL 457 213

Second Step. After computing the above table, the

researcher identified the recipients through systematic

random sampling with a random start. Using the list of

students barrowed from the registrar, the researcher marked

numbers from one to seventy two (1-72) for ABM, one to one

hundred nine (1-109) for STEM, and one to thirty two (1-32)

for HUMSS. With that, the researcher computed for sampling

interval (k).

Sampling interval can be calculated by this formula:

N
k=
n

Where:

k = sampling interval

N = population

n = sample size

The desired sampling interval is two (2). Next is to

determine the random start. The researcher chose a number

from 1-457, in ABM (1-72), in STEM (1-109), and in HUMSS (1-


32). The random start in ABM is twenty (23), for STEM, and

for HUMSS.
