Subjects or Respondents of the Study
3. Subjects or Respondents of the Study
Things to include
Who are your respondents?
Why are they the most appropriate individuals for your research study?
What sampling did you use to obtain these respondents?
A distinction should be made between subjects and respondents of the study. Subjects are
persons investigated in the study. When learning abilities of pre-school pupils are being assessed in the
study, the preschool pupils are the subjects. The pupils’ teachers and mothers who will be interviewed
and asked to fill out a questionnaire are the respondents of the study. Respondents, therefore, are
providers of information needed in the study, elicited orally or in writing. It is important to state your
number of subjects or respondents and who they are. Also, explain how the number will be decided
upon.
Sampling Technique
4. Sampling Technique
Sampling- means choosing from a large population the respondents or subjects to answer your
research questions.
Population- is a technical term in research which means a big group of people from where you choose
the sample.
Sample- chosen set of people to represent the population.
Sampling frame- is the term used to mean the list of the members of such population from where you
will get the sample.

TYPES OF PROBABILITY SAMPLING
1. Simple random sampling- is the best type of probability sampling through which you can choose
sample from a population.
-It happens through any of these two methods:
Have a list of all members of the population; write each name on a card, and choose cards through a
pure-chance selection.
Have a list of all members; give a number to member and then use randomized or unordered numbers
in selecting names from the list.
2. Systematic Sampling- picking out from the list every 5th or every 8th member listed in the sampling
frame until the completion of the desired total number of respondents.
3. Stratified Sampling- choosing a sample that will later on be subdivided into strata, sub-groups, or
sub-samples during the stage of data analysis.
4. Cluster Sampling- this is a probability sampling that makes you isolate a set of persons instead of
individual members to serve as sample members.
