• Separate the sample frameworks and establish each stratum with a list of all the
elements/members who fall into a stratum.
• Each member in each group receives a number.
• The proportion of each group in relation to the total population is established and the
number that will be selected from each stratum is calculated accordingly.
• Use a table of random numbers, the individual members are selected from each
stratum in terms of the required numbers.
Calculation of strata samples
:
• How large the total should be, and
• The ratio by which the total sample should be allocated among the strata with both
proportionate and disproportionate options available to the researcher.
Cluster sampling
In cluster sampling, the sampling unit is not the individual component or member but rather
a naturally occurring group of individual members. For instance, the researcher might
examine
teachers’ responses to the executives amid the underlying phases of filling senior
positions in school in Astana. It is not plausible to study or convenient to choose people
from a wide scop
e of teachers’ settings. It would, for instance, be either unrealistic or
difficult to get a list of the theoretical population. In this situation, cluster sampling would
be most practical and convenient:
• Division of population into groups of elements either geographically or by some other
uniform criterion
• Random selection of groups.
In any case, it is most essential to stress that researcher should pick a cluster only when it
is the most conservative and proficient regarding time and money and when it is essentially
difficult to set up a solid examining frame of individual components.
The researcher must guarantee that the cluster has been productively characterised, then
haphazardly select the required number of groups and afterwards continue with the
suitable probability sample system. It is critical to stratify the sampling regularly in order to
guarantee full inclusion of the number of strata in the number of population in each cluster.
