The paper by Anthony J. Onwuegbuzie and Nancy L. Leech emphasizes the importance of sampling and sample size considerations in qualitative research. The authors argue that while sampling is crucial in quantitative research, it has often been overlooked in qualitative studies. They discuss the significance of selecting appropriate sample sizes and designs to ensure data saturation, theoretical saturation, or informational redundancy. The paper outlines 24 sampling designs, including both probability and non-probability methods, and provides guidelines for sample size based on various qualitative research designs. The authors advocate for the use of qualitative power analyses to help researchers make informed decisions about their sampling strategies, particularly in interpretive research. They highlight that while qualitative research aims to gain insights rather than generalizing findings to broader populations, careful consideration of sample size is essential for the validity and reliability of the research.The paper by Anthony J.
