Description

Part A – For a Qualitative Study

Based on your study design and data collection method as per your previous assignment if you have not changed your mind, what will be your study sample size for your proposal study paper? (Recommended samples for a qualitative study the minimum should be 5. Maximum?-Not too many, less than 100 participants based on the time frame in which you plan to collect the data, availability of participants, data collection strategy i.e. face to face interviews/focus groups, case studies, and financial cost if any.).  Write in detail, in paragraphs, i.e. “I plan to draw a sample of…..”  Also explain why you plan that number.

What sampling technique will you use for a qualitative study using the title for your proposal? Clearly state that sampling technique and in detail, explain exactly in paragraph/s, step by step, how you will draw your sample or solicit participants for a qualitative study. Write in detail, in paragraphs.

Give reasons why you will choose that sampling technique. Do not just list, write in paragraphs, for instance, “the reason why I plan to use…….” 

Part B – For a Quantitative Study

Suppose you were to conduct a quantitative study, and imagine you had to gather a sample of 100 participants for that study as per your proposal paper title.  First you need a list of the study population from which you will draw that sample. 

  1. Explain where or how you will find the list of the population from which to draw that sample of 100? Please explain. Write in paragraphs, for instance “First, I will get access to the study population list from????.....”.
  2. Once you have access to the population list, what sampling technique or method will you use? State that technique and describe in detail exactly how you plan to draw your sample or solicit participants from the population. Write in detailed paragraphs for instance. “First, I will…..”
  3. Give reasons as to why you will choose that sampling technique as opposed to others. Write in detailed paragraphs for instance, “The reason I chose that technique is…..).
  4. Assuming you cannot find a list of the population from where to draw the sample, how will you solicit participants? Or what sampling technique will you use?

The proposed research will use mixed research methods. Thus, qualitative and
quantitative data will be collected. The study's sample size will be 30 participants. 30 is
perceived as an ideal sample size to achieve the most compressive view of the problem.
Additionally, qualitative research is based on grounded theory; thus, thirty participants can help
reach the saturation level. Moreover, the data will be collected using face-to-face interviews.
Thirty participants are suitable for in-depth discussions. The data collection method will help
acquire detailed information regarding the behaviour and attitude of respondents on various
issues.
The sampling technique intended for the study will be criterion sampling. It involves
choosing the individuals who meet the predetermined criteria essential for the study (Elmusharaf,
2016). Criterion sampling is closer to purposeful sampling, which in...
