SUMMARY 1: Research Design- sampling

Bonjour everyone..


This is my first summary of the presentation one.  I make it more to short form or short notes as i have gone through our textbook. There are few questions that we should focus in this topic.
How to distinguish between a sample and a population? What is representative sample? What is meant by 'systematic sampling', 'convenience sampling' and 'purposive sampling'? All these questions can be answered by the end of this summary. Sub topic that will be covered under this 'Research Design- Sampling' are

1) What is sample?

2) Random sampling methods

3) Nonrandom sampling methods

4) Sample size

5) External validity: Generalizing from a sample

If we do not know about one thing, surely we wont understand what are the things waiting for us in future. In order to have a good preparation in doing something we should have clear picture about it. Therefore, this is the course information regarding EDU702. It provides students the information that they should know in going through this course. Plus it is beneficial for students to always be prepared with all the required assessments during this course.

Discussion to ponder WEEK 1

The differences between QUALITATIVE research and QUANTITATIVE research.
There are many differences that we can get if we read many books or articles about it. Each and every of it has different points but over all the points given do identify the differences between two research. This is what i got from http://www.abacon.com/martella/table8.pdf that i would like to share. It is simple and easy to understand.
