Outline
1.Probability sampling
2.Nonprobability(purposeful) (theoretical)
sampling
3.Conveience sampling
Probability sampling:
Pro: not need to have an exact list of all the sampling units.
2.Intensity sampling
It’s similar to the extreme-case strategy, except there is
less emphasis on extreme.
Explore rich information on the typical cases.
3. Maximum-variation sampling
Maximize the variation within the sample and indicate their
major difference.
EX: The study of students’ English ability in different
location( rural, urban)
4. Homogeneous sampling
The researcher seeks to describe the experience of
subgroups of people who share similar characteristics.
EX: rural teachers’ attitude toward CLT for children.
5. Typical-case sampling
A: Choose the case in which a program has been
implemented to show this case is indeed average.
B: It is like Intensity sampling.
7. Critical-case sampling
A: Study a very important, critical case.
B: The effect should be representative.
8.Snowball or chain sampling
The research starts with a key person and introduce the
next one to become a chain.
9.Criterion sampling
The researcher set up a criterion and identify cases that
meet that criterion.
Ex: study cases that could pass TOEFL last semester
Rules of thumb:
A: Quantitative research rules of thumb:
For survey research needs 100 cases.
