- What strategies can be used?

Part of what is sampling is the collection of search for the situation, context and participants
that provide rich data on the phenomenon investigated.

DELIBERATE SAMPLING STRATEGY

The most used are: - intentional sampling: based on the researchers' judgment that
potential participants will be more informative.
- Sampling by criterion: participants are selected who meet certain importance criteria.
- Theoretical sampling: selection of participants based on emerging findings that
guarantee an adequate representation of theoretical concepts.
- Convenience sampling: selection of participants readily available. - Snowball sampling:
select participants referred by others, previously selected participants those who have
access to possible participants.

VARIATION SAMPLING STRATEGIES

Occasionally used in the selection of participants based on a wide range of variations.
- Typical cases: selection of participants in the typical or average funds.
- Confirmation and unconfirmation: allows you to verify or challenge emerging trends
or patterns in the data.

one)

observation of a group or individuals over an extended period of time.

- interviews: an interviewer asks respondents questions in person, on the phone or

online, seeks to describe the meanings of the central themes in the participants'
world of life, its main function is to understand the meaning of what the participants
say, that is to obtain the participant's experiences, perceptions, thoughts and
feelings.

given topic guided by a moderator using a question route.
