Sampling Procedure

and the Sample


Population and Sample
• The population is the totality
of all the objects, elements,
persons, and characteristics
under consideration. It is
understood that this
population possesses
common characteristics about
which the research aims to
explore.
• There are two types of population: target population
and accessible population.
• The actual population is the target population, for
example, all Senior High School Students enrolled in
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
(STEM) in the Division of Cagayan de Oro City.
• While the accessible population is the portion of the
population in which the researcher has reasonable
access, for example all Senior High School enrolled,
STEM strand at Marayon Science High School – X.
• Sampling pertains to the
systematic process of
selecting the group to be
analyzed in the research
study. The goal is to get
information from a group
that represents the target
population. Once a good
sample is obtained, the
generalizability and
applicability of findings
increases.
• The representative subset of the population refers to the
sample.
• All the 240 Senior High School Students enrolled in Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Strand in
a school, for example, constitute the population; 60 of
those students constitute the sample.
• A good sample should have characteristics of the
represented population – characteristics that are within
the scope of the study with fair accuracy.
• Generally, the larger the sample, the more reliable the
sample be, but still, it will depend on the scope and
delimitation and research design of the study.
• Sample size is the number of observations or individuals included
in a study or experiment. It is the number of individuals, items, or
data points selected from a larger population to represent it
statistically. The sample size is a crucial consideration in research
because it directly impacts the reliability and extent to which you
can generalize those findings to the larger population.
• A larger sample size can potentially enhance the precision of
estimates, leading to a narrower margin of error. In other words,
the results from a larger sample will likely be closer to the true
population parameter. A larger sample size can also increase the
power of a statistical test. This means that with a larger sample, you
are less likely to find results that are not actually true.
Approaches in Identifying the
Sample Size
• Heuristics. This approach refers
to the rule of the thumb for
sample size. The early
established approach by Gay
(1976) stated by Cristobal and
Dela Cruz-Cristobal (2017, p
172), sample sizes for different
research designs are the
following:
Approaches in Identifying the
Sample Size
• Lunenberg and Irby
(2008), as cited by
Barrot (2017, p 107),
also suggested different
sample sizes for each
quantitative research
design.
Approaches in Identifying the
Sample Size
•Literature Review. Another approach is by
reading similar or related literature and studies
to your current research study.
Approaches in Identifying the
Sample Size
•Formulas. Formulas are also being
established for the computation of an
acceptable sample size. The common
formula is Slovin’s Formula.
