Lets explore types of sampling

Till now we have seen one sub-type of each type of sampling namely, simple random sampling and convenience sampling. You all are now going to venture among all the other types of sampling yourselves….This blogging opportunity will help us all present in a different way and also help the others to know our thought processes while learning.

I have randomly assigned ;) all of you using your roll nos. to the different types of sampling; a list of which is given below:

You don’t have to worry Jailee, you will be working with me for systematic sampling :-)

You could also refer to the book earlier referred to in this blogging activity - “Research Methods in Education” by Louis Cohen which should be available in our library; let me know if it isn't.

To avoid any confusion or delays we will try to stick to the following plan:

• Tuesday-Wednesday =go through the provided resources and discuss about the type of sampling assigned to you. You could discuss it in stages like, what you thought of the sampling before and after going through the resources (I would be glad to know some other stages too!). After you discuss and know enough about your type, you have to find out 2 more web resources for the type assigned to you. So that the presentation of your content becomes interesting you could design some activities or quizzes for the readers.
• Thursday = you could consolidate your findings and content and present it on your own blogs along with the web resources and activities.

So come on now gear up! Lots of work to do!

Meet you on Thursday !
