Introductory Message
Welcome to Practical Research 1 Grade 11!

The Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative

efforts of the Schools Division of Sipalay City _ and DepEd
Regional Office VI - Western Visayas through the Curriculum and
Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is developed to guide
the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible adults) in
helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic
Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional

materials aimed to guide the learners in accomplishing activities at
their own pace and time using the contextualized resources in the
community. This will also assist the learners in acquiring the lifelong
learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.

For learning facilitator:

The Practical Research 1 Activity Sheet will help you

facilitate the leaching-learning activities specified in each Most
Essential Learning Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-
face encounter between you and learner. This will be made available
to the learners with the references/links to ease the independent
learning.

For the learner:

The Practical Research 1 Activity Sheet is developed to help

you continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning
material provides you with meaningful and engaging activities for
independent learning. Being an active learner, carefully read and
understand the instructions then perform the activities and answer the
assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed
schedule.

Sampling Procedure and Sample

I. Learning Competency with Code

Describes sampling procedure and sample. (CS_RS11-Iva-c-2)

II. Background Information for Learners

In research, sampling is a word that refers to your method or

process of selecting respondents or people to answer questions
meant to yield data for research study. The chosen ones constitute
the sample through which you will derive facts and evidence to
support the claims or conclusions propounded by your research
problem. The bigger group where you choose the sample is called
population, and sampling frame is the term used to mean the list
of the members of such population from where you will get the
sample. (Paris 2013)
Sampling has been categorized into two classes; Probability
sampling and Non- Probability sampling.

Types of Probability Sampling

1. Simple Random Sampling –this is the best type of probability
sampling in which all the members has the opportunity to be
chosen. Simple random sampling happens through any of these two
methods: (Burns 2012)
 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 – for this kind of sampling chance and
system are the ones to determine who should compose the sample.
For instance, if you want to have a sample of 150, you may select a
set of numbers like 1 to 15, and out of a list of 1,500 students, take
every 15th name on the list until you complete the total number of
respondents to constitute your sample.
3. Stratified Sampling – the group comprising the sample is chosen
in a way that such group is liable to subdivision during the data
analysis stage. A study needing group by group analysis finds
stratified sampling the right probability sampling to use.
4. Cluster Sampling – this is a probability sampling that makes you
isolate a set of persons instead of individual members to serve as

1
 sample members. For example, if you want to have a sample of 120
out of 1,000 students, you can randomly select the three sections
with 40 students each to constitute the sample.

Types of Non- Probability Sampling

1. Quota Sampling - to use this kind of sampling means you
definitely know the characteristics of the target sample. With
this, you directly choose that set of persons for you already
believe that their characteristics is suited or closely related
to your study.
2. Voluntary Sampling – selection process is not needed
since, your target sample are the ones who willingly present
themselves to participate in the study.
3. Purposive Sample or Judgmental Sample – selection is
based in the judgment of the researcher. They are the
people with interest in the study, and possess capability and
experiences in the said topic.
4. Availability Sampling – the willingness of each person is
the measurement of this sampling. You can choose people
walking along the street by approaching them, people
eating inside the canteen and any available persons as long
as they are willing to respond in your questions. They
automatically belong as your respondents of the study
5. Snowball Sampling –the name itself directly presents the
meaning of this sampling. This is rolling or it could be
strolling anywhere. There is no specific set of sample and
data could freely obtained to various group of people like
vendors, street children, call center workers, drug
dependents and etc. You have the freedom to choose and
increase your sample.(Harding 2013)

IV. Activity Proper

Activity 1
Directions: Write P if the sentence talks about probability sampling;
otherwise write NP.
_______1. Checking every 10th student in the list
_______2. Interviewing some persons you meet on the campus.
_______3. Dividing 100 persons into groups.
_______4. Choosing subjects anywhere.
_______5. Choosing a group of subjects among several groups.
_______6. Choosing subjects capable of helping you meet the aim of your study.

2
_______7. Choosing samples by chance but through organizational pattern.
_______8. Letting all the members in the population join the selection process.
_______9. Having people willing to be chosen as respondents.
_______10. Matching people’s traits with the population member’s traits.
