Bout how you are going to put together a smaller group who are you going to select. Different approaches within options that you must consider: depends on paradigm. Is generalization the goal? on the research question and population being studied: consider advantages and disadvantages of different sampling strategies. General types of sampling: probability, statistical chance of selection is the theoretically equal, uses random samples. All sample units have a equal chance of selection. Logics have a say who is in selection choosing people at random: non-probability, applies judgement criteria. Non probability sampling: used in qualitative research.
