Research 1 Module 6
Sampling and Sampling Designs
6
This topic is designed to develop the knowledge, skills, and desirable attitudes of an
individual in the field of Research where the student is expected of the following:
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
At the end of the module the student should have:

 demonstrated content knowledge and its application within and/or
across curriculum teaching areas in the field of research particularly
by identifying the types of sampling and sampling designs.
******************************************************************************
When we want to collect data on a population, there are different ways to proceed. In some
cases, it is possible to measure the entire population to get an accurate picture of the of the
population at hand. In some cases, larger populations can be exhaustive, long, expensive, difficult
and unnecessary when surveying. When it’s impossible to collect data on the whole population
because it is large and/or geographically dispersed, we would choose a sub-group of this
population, which will be called a SAMPLE. This sub-group, or sample, can be chosen following
2 broad groups of methods: probability and non-probability sampling methods.
A representative sample needs to have the same characteristics as the target population.
Since we are only collecting data on a sub-group of the population when sampling, it is important
to remember that the result obtained will only be an estimate of the indicator that needed to be
measured.
This lesson presents the concept and nature of sampling and the sampling designs in
research.

POST – ACTIVITY
Instruction: Read on the situations and answer the following questions.
A student organization wanted to raise money for their school project. They
could raise money by selling raffle tickets for a laptop. Before they decide to
have a raffle they wanted to estimate how many students in the whole school would buy a ticket.
They decided to do a survey to find out first. The school has 600 students in Grade 7 – 12 with
100 students in each year.
1. How many students would you survey? How would you choose them? Explain your
answers.
2. Grace got the names of all 600 students in the school and put them in a hat. Then she
pulled out 60 names. What do you think of Grace’s survey? Explain your answer
3. John asked 10 children at an after-school meeting of the computer games club. What do
you think of John’s survey? Explain your answer.
4. Mark asked all of the 100 children in year 1. What do you think of Mark’s survey?
Explain your answer.
5. Peter asked 60 of his friends. What do you think of Peter’s survey? Explain your answer
6. Mercy set up a booth near the gate. Anyone who wanted to stop and fill out a survey
could drop by. She stopped collecting surveys when she got 60 kids to complete them.
What do you think of Mercy’s survey? Explain your answer.
