Abstract

The article lays emphasis on incorporating sampling techniques in a history education research work in order to save money and other resources. In many cases, a history education researcher is unable to cover the whole population of interest in which case, a sample that is part of the study population is taken. When a history education researcher uses only part of a given population, we refer to the study as a sample survey and in the case where a history education researcher uses the whole population in a given history education research; we say that a history education researcher is carrying out a ‘census’ or ‘mass survey’. History education research gives us a clear perspective of the past and present in order to predict the future. History education research provides us with a greater appreciation of the culture and the role which history education is to play in the progress of society. The purpose of this article is to guide history education researchers understand the philosophy behind sampling in history education research.
