Practical Research Summative test

a process by which the researcher identifies the representative of a population to be used in his/her study.

• Sampling​

• Data collection

• validation

• Population 

identifying your target participants

• sampling

• case sampling

• population

• respondents

identifying the tools you will use on the participants to collect data

• material sampling

• questionnaires

• survey forms

• presentational sampling

It relies on a statistical analysis of the population, often used in quantitative research

• probability sampling

• simple random sampling

• stratified sampling

• sampling method

It is based on criteria set by the researchers that the individuals are randomly selected from the occurring groups

• simple random

• stratified random

• cluster sampling

• systematic sampling

samples are targeted and selected based on a criterion set by the researcher

• purposive sampling

• convenience sampling

• non-probability

• simple random

Is the easiest since it only requires the researcher to set a fixed interval to determine the sample.

• multistage sampling

• systematic sampling

• cluster sampling

• simple random sampling

Groups are determined based on their availability rather than randomness from the population

• Simple random sampling

• convenience sampling

• purposive sampling

• systematic sampling

They are looking for specific characteristics in individuals that may or may nit directly link to the research question/objective

• snowball sampling

• quota sampling

• multistage sampling

• convenience sampling

The researcher is not immersed in the setting or the participants are not aware of the researcher's presence

• observation

• participant observation

• non- participant observation

• structured observation
