Study Notes
Probability Sampling
- Systematic Random Sampling: a sampling method that selects samples at regular intervals from a list
- Example: Population = 500, Sample size = 50
- Stratified Random Sampling: divides the population into groups (strata) and applies simple random sampling to select samples from each group
- Example: Desired sample size of 50 to Grade 12 HUMSS
- Cluster Sampling: used when the target respondents are spread across a geographical location
- The population is grouped into clusters
Non-Probability Sampling
- Quota Sampling: chooses a specific set of persons who have the characteristics of the target population
- Voluntary Sampling: relies on subjects who volunteer to participate in the study
- Purposive or Judgmental Sampling: chooses people who correspond to the objectives of the study
- Availability Sampling: selects people who are willing to interact with the researcher
- Snowball Sampling: does not give a specific set of samples, often used for unspecified groups
Types of Data and Data Collection
- Primary Data: original data collected for the first time
- Secondary Data: data collected by someone else that has already been processed statistically
Research Design
- Descriptive Research Design: describes the characteristics or behavior of the subjects being studied
- Does not attempt to answer "why" or make predictions
Qualitative Research
- Case Study: seeks to find answers to why something occurs, often in social care, nursing, psychology, rehabilitation centers, education, etc.
- Phenomenology: studies how people find meaning in their experiences
- Seeks to understand experiences about death of loved ones, care for handicapped persons, friendliness of people, etc.
Sources of Data
- Respondents of the study: individuals who participate in the study
- Sampling plan: describes the procedure used to get the sample size
- Sample: a subset of the population that represents the entire population
- Population: all people or items with the characteristic being studied
