Sampling technique Sample Clauses

Sampling technique. Random sampling is a technique frequently used when the subset needs to be a generalization of the population. When performing a qualitative research study, other methods might be more useful according to Xxxxxxxx (1996) for various reasons. For instance, it might be possible that the characteristics of the population are unknown or that the characteristics are not normally distributed. Taking a random sample becomes invalid in these cases (Xxxxxxxx, 1996). Targeted samples are more recommended in such cases (Xxxxxxxxxx, 2007). Xxxxxxxx (1996) differentiates three sampling techniques, being convenience, theoretical and judgement samples. The first approach is the convenience sampling technique where interviewees are selected because they are easily accessible (Xxxxxxxx, 1996). Most quantitative studies exhibit some elements of this method. However, implementing some criteria to the sampling technique will improve the results (Xxxxxxxx, 1996). Theoretical samples will provide the best results, but are rarely applied in practice. It consists of an iterative process. The sample will be selected based on theoretical knowledge. Each interview will be analyzed, meaning the transcription of the interview will be coded and the researcher will try to find new theoretical concepts (Xxxxxxxxxx, 2007). The new information is used to adjust the interviews. The adapted interviews are used in the next batch. Thus, an iterative process is created. The judgement or purposeful technique has proven to be more efficient in practice. The sample will be selected based on the practical researcher’s knowledge of the topic and the information gathered through the literature review study (Xxxxxxxx, 1996). An analysis should be carried out following each interview. The interview will not be adjusted as would be the case using the theoretical technique, but the additional information will be used to improve the manner in which the interviews are conducted (Xxxxxxxxxx, 2007).
