Key Concepts
Key concepts. As I had explained to you. What are the key concepts? Three main key concepts are there. First is the sampling in quantitative research. So sampling refers to the process of selecting a subset of the population to participate in a research study.
So how do you select the subset of the population? That is a very professional work that requires a lot of skills. A well-designed sample should be representative of the larger population. So how do you decide what kind of decision you take to estimate the sample you are taking?
You cannot take the whole population. So the sample that you are taking, how you are selecting that sample, how the sampling is being done to make sure that it is nearly representative of the population and you can avoid the Bias.
For example, suppose you are surveying school students. Now schools are of different categories. They are government schools. For example, if we talk about the Indian context, there are government schools, there are private schools, there are schools that are meant for the rural population of students. Some schools are meant for the urban population of the students.
So how do you decide the student's sample taken from which school and what are the questions of your survey? What is the survey design that will be just talking about? Depending on the context, depending on the research outcomes that you are expecting or you are trying to test what hypothesis you are trying to test, depending on all and depending on the focus groups.
So suppose your survey is focusing on the urban population. Then that's a different context you are looking at. The urban population means urban students in schools in urban areas. But there are different categories of these schools in the urban areas also. So how do you do the sampling? How do you select the subset of the population that will participate in a research study? So it requires a lot of skills and a lot of brainstorming.
Then the second concept of the quantitative research refers to the survey design. Now survey design involves developing a set of questions that will be used to gather data from the sample population.
So how do you design those questions and what kind of method you are going to use that will also decide the survey design? Suppose, for example, you are collecting data through the internet through online methods. Then probably the survey design may be of a different type. Then another scenario wherein you are collecting data on the street in the field.
Maybe the survey design will be different.
So depending on the type of sample, depending on the methods of data collection, that will be just talking about the data collection part. The survey design will differ, but the survey design has to be focusing on the outcome. What hypothesis you are testing, and what is the context?
So survey design will involve developing the most suitable set of questions that is suitable for the context of the research.
And then the third key concept of the quantitative research is the data collection. So data collection involves the administration or administering the survey. The survey that you have designed to the sample population, the sample population that you have selected, the subset of the population that you have selected as a sample, and being able to effectively and accurately collect the responses.
So what is the best method? Again, it will depend on the context. Again it will depend on the research questions. Again, it will depend on the nature of the research, the ecosystem where this research is being carried out and who are the stakeholders of the research.
So there are so many variables that will help you decide the method of data collection, what kind of data collection it will be, and how you administer the survey.
So what is the involvement of the survey in this data collection? And the method of data collection will be according to that.
You will find a lot more such ideas in this course.
