There are three Sections in the Assignment. You have to answer all questions in the Sections.

Assignment A

Answer the following questions in 1000 words each.

Q1. Define sampling. Discuss the different methods of sampling.

Sampling refers to the process of selecting a subset (a sample) from a larger population to study and draw conclusions about the entire population. Instead of studying the entire population (which can often be impractical or too costly), researchers study the sample and make inferences about the larger group from which it was drawn.

Different Methods of Sampling:

Random Sampling (or Simple Random Sampling):

Every individual in the population has an equal chance of being selected in the sample.

Techniques include using random number generators or drawing lots.

Example: Selecting 100 people out of 10,000 using a random number table.

Stratified Sampling:

The population is divided into subgroups (or strata) based on certain characteristics, and then a random sample is taken from each subgroup.

This method ensures that each subgroup is adequately represented.

Example: When surveying students, ensuring that each grade level is represented by taking random samples from each grade.

Systematic Sampling:

Every nth member of the population is selected, starting from a random point.

Example: In a population of 10,000, every 100th person might be selected for a sample size of 100.

Cluster Sampling:

The population is divided into clusters (groups), and a random sample of these clusters is selected. All members within chosen clusters are then surveyed.

It's useful when the population is spread out geographically.

Example: Selecting a few schools in a state and surveying all students within those selected schools.

Quota Sampling (a non-probability method):

The population is divided into subgroups, and the researcher intentionally sets a number to be chosen from each subgroup based on certain characteristics.

It's similar to stratified sampling but doesn't randomly select within subgroups.

Example: Interviewing 50 males and 50 females from a population.

Convenience Sampling (a non-probability method):

The sample is chosen based on what's easiest or most convenient for the researcher.

This method is not very rigorous and may lead to biases.

Example: Surveying people who walk by a particular location.

Judgmental or Purposive Sampling (a non-probability method):

The researcher uses their judgment to select specific individuals or groups that can provide the required information or fit a specific profile.

Example: Interviewing experts in a particular field.

Snowball Sampling (a non-probability method):

Used when the desired sample characteristic is rare or hard-to-reach.

Initial participants recruit additional participants from their network.

Example: Researching a specific population like people with a rare disease, where participants might know others with the same condition.

It's essential to choose the appropriate sampling method based on the research question, the nature of the population, and the resources available. The chosen method will influence the accuracy, reliability, and validity of the results and conclusions drawn from the research.

Q2. Discuss the steps involved in research process.

Q3. Discuss the meaning, types and relevance of qualitative research. Explain the ethical guidelines in qualitative research.
