SAMPLING DESIGN

EDUC 200
SAMPLING
 Is applicable if the population of the study is too
large especially the 7Ms: manpower, money,
materials, machinery, methods, moment, and
marketing of the researcher are limited.
 It is advantageous for him to use sample survey
for it is economical rather than the total
population.
 May be defined as the method of getting a
representative portion of a population. The term
population, is the aggregate or total of objects,
persons, families, species, or orders of plants or
animals.
ADVANTAGES OF
SAMPLING
1. IT SAVES TIME, MONEY, AND EFFORT

 The researcher can save time, money, and effort


because the number of subjects involved is small.
2. IT IS MORE EFFECTIVE

 Sampling is more effective if every individual of


the population without bias has an equal chance
of being included in the sample and data are
scientifically collected, analyzed, and interpreted.
3. IT IS FASTER, CHEAPER, AND ECONOMICAL.

 Since the sample is only “drop in a bucket” , the


collection, tabulation, presentation, analysis, and
interpretation of data are rapid and less expensive
due to small number of subjects and few copies of
the questionnaires are used.
4. IT IS MORE ACCURATE
 Fewer errors are made due to small size of data
involved in collection, tabulation, presentation,
analysis, and interpretation
5. IT GIVES MORE COMPREHENSIVE
INFORMATION

 Since there is a thorough investigation of the


study due to small sample, the results give more
comprehensive information because all members
of the population have an equal chance of being
included in sample.
DISADVANTAGES
OF SAMPLING
1. Sample data involve more
care in preparing detailed
subs classification due to
small number of subjects
2. If the sampling plan
is not correctly designed
and followed, the results
may be misleading.
 3. Sampling requires an expert to conduct the
study in an area. If this is lacking, the result can
be enourmous.
4. The characteristic to be
observed may occur rarely in a
population, for instance, teacher
over 30 years of teaching
experience or teachers with
outstanding performance
5. Complicated sampling
plans are laborious to
prepare
