@article{2017,title={SAMPLING PROBLEMS IN SOCIAL SCIENCES: A HOLİSTİC VIEW TO THE SAMPLING THEORY FROM QUANTITATIVE AND QUA-LITATIVE PARADIGMS},abstractNode={One of the most important steps in carrying out a healthy scientific research process is the universe-sampling phase. It is often difficult for researchers with limited time and scarce resources to reach the entire universe in which the research is conducted. For this reason, it is necessary to select the sample group with the characteristics that can best represent the universe. The theory of sampling is a guideline in determining the sample that best represents the relevant universe. The differentiation of the quantitative and qualitative methods and their paradigms differentiates the sample theories of the researches carried out in these methods. Researches conducted by the mixed method integrates quantitative and qualitative method sampling theories. The findings and results of research that are not appropriate to sampling theory will be open to debate. The recent increase in scientific research books, especially for qualitative research it is also observed that there is a complexity of information about sampling theory for qualitative researches. The aim of this study is to present a holistic view of sampling theory for quantitative and qualitative researches despite the complexity of information in the field, as well as the importance of a universe-sample determined for scientific studies.},author={Sevgi YILDIZ},year={2017},journal={Kesit Akademi}}
