Kokkuvõte	Proportional convenience sampling is a non-probability technique that recruits participants through convenience while constraining each subgroup's share in the final sample to match its known proportion in the target population. It trades pure random selection for feasibility, but partially compensates by ensuring the sample's compositional profile mirrors the population on one or more key variables such as gender, age group, or academic year.	Purposive sampling is a non-probability strategy in which the researcher deliberately selects participants, documents, or cases that are information-rich with respect to the research question. Rather than drawing units at random, the researcher applies explicit criteria aligned with the study's purpose, maximising the depth and relevance of the data collected. It is the default sampling logic in most qualitative research designs and is also used in mixed-methods and applied evaluative work.
