A. Readings/Discussions
Sampling
Researcher should choose the proper sampling method to answer what was asked in the
research problem. According to Alicia Tuovila(2020), sampling is a process used in statistical
analysis in which a predetermined number of observations taken in larger population. The
methodology used to sample from a larger population depends on the type of analysis being
performed
In the previous lesson, you were enabled to understand the nature of qualitative design.
Deeper understanding of the different types of this design helped you led in gathering
information for your research. In this particular lesson, you will learn the methods of sampling
for you to provide the possible answers of your research problem.
In doing qualitative research, only a sample of a population is selected for any study. The
study’s research objectives and the characteristics of the study population (example is the size
and diversity) determine which and how many people to select. Selecting sample in a
systematic way ensures that the community/users/external actors see it as a credible and
indicative sample. Qualitative researchers characteristically create sampling choices that allow
them to intensify understanding of whatsoever phenomenon (Blackstone 2017).
To collect data and analyze in qualitative research, a target population, community, or study
area must be identified first. It is not possible for researchers to collect data from everyone in a
sample area or community.
There are three main types of qualitative sampling: purposeful sampling, quota sampling, and
snowball sampling. The following are the reasons for choosing a particular method.
B. Exercises
Exercise 1
Imagine that you have arrived in Malate, Manila to conduct a case study on working street
children. A local social worker introduces you to two former street working children and you
learn that they still have lots of friends still working on the street. As a way to identify
participants for your study, you ask the two former street working children if they can
recommend and invite some of their friends on the street to participate in the study. You also
ask them to spread word of the study in anticipation that their friends will also help you to
identify potential participants.
How would you classify this kind of sampling? 1. Quota sampling? 2. Snowball sampling? 3.
Random purposeful sampling? Explain your answer.

GUIDE
For the Teacher: Advise the students to read the reading and discussion portion before they
attempt to answer the practice exercises. Going through the part sequentially will help them
understand easily the topic.
For the Learner: Read through the self-learning home task from the first part to the last part.
Doing so, will help you understand better the topic.
For the Parent/Home Tutor: Assist your child and make sure that he/she reads the self-learning
home task from beginning to end to ensure proper understanding of the concepts.
