2.2. Sample and sampling technique

Krejcie and Morgan sample size estimation formula was used to estimate the sample size for the study. The total population of students at the Takoradi Technical University was obtained from the students' records as 15,106. The total student population of each Faculty was also obtained. The sample size determined from the Krejcie and Morgan sample size table for the given population was between 306 and 310 (Chuan & Penyelidikan, ²⁰⁰⁶). Two percent of each faculty's population was calculated and all added to form the total sample of 302. The actual number of students who partook in this study was 352. Data collection took place within the faculties and within each faculty, study participants were randomly selected.
