Different Types of Sampling Techniques
Simple Random Sampling
Description: In a simple random sample, every member of the population
has an equal chance of being selected. Your sampling frame should
include the whole population.
Example: Selecting 10 couples randomly from a group of 30 couples to
ask them how they define love in their relationship.
Example: Using a random list of names to choose a student for an oral
presentation.
Cluster Sampling
Description: Involves dividing the population into subgroups, but each
subgroup should have similar characteristics to the whole sample. Instead
of sampling individuals from each subgroup, you randomly select entire
subgroups.
Example: A city picks a few random streets and checks the traffic on
those streets.
Example: A teacher picks a few classes randomly and asks all the
students in those classes about a new rule.
Stratified Sampling
Description: involves dividing the population into subpopulations
that may differ in important ways. It allows you draw more precise
conclusions by ensuring that every subgroup is properly
represented in the sample.
Example: Divide the city by neighbourhood, then pick some streets
from each neighbourhood.
Example: Divide students by grade, then pick some from each
grade.
Systematic Sampling
Description: Is similar to simple random sampling, but it is usually
slightly easier to conduct. Every member of the population is listed with a
number, but instead of randomly generating numbers, individuals are
chosen at regular intervals.
Example: Counting cars on every 10th street in the city.
Example: Asking every 5th student in line about their favourite subject.
Types of Non-probability sampling methods
•Convenience Sampling •Quota Sampling
•Purposive Sampling •Snowball Sampling
Convenience Sampling
Description: A convenience sample simply includes the individuals
who happen to be most accessible to the researcher.
Example: A researcher surveys students in their own class because
they are already there and easy to ask.
Example: A researcher asks people walking by in a mall to take a
survey because they are nearby and easy to approach.
Quota Sampling
Description: Quota sampling relies on the non-random selection of a
predetermined number or proportion of units. This is called a quota.
Example: A teacher wants to know which sport is most popular.
They ask 3 basketball players, 3 soccer players, and 3 tennis
players. They stop once they have 3 from each sport.
Example: A researcher wants to ask 10 people in a park. They
decide to ask 5 men and 5 women. Once they have 5 men and 5
women, they stop.
Snowball sampling
Description: A non-probability sampling technique that involves
recruiting new study participants through referrals from current
participants.
Example: You ask one gamer to join your study, and they tell you
about two other gamers. You keep going by getting more gamers
through referrals.
Example: You ask one dog owner to participate in a survey, and they
refer you to another dog owner. You keep getting new participants
through these referrals.
Purposive sampling
Description: a research technique that involves selecting
participants based on specific characteristics or criteria.
Example: A researcher wants to interview experienced math
teachers for a study. They specifically choose teachers who have at
least 10 years of teaching experience.
Example: A researcher wants to study people who follow a vegan
diet. They specifically select participants who are vegan, rather than
randomly choosing people.
