A teacher has the task of choosing five students to display homework problems on the chalkboard at the beginning of class describe how the teacher might select the students using a cluster sample?

Answer 1

Usually, the teacher will look at the entire class while choosing the students. During the selection process, the teacher tries to make eye contact with most of her students. If there is a direct relationship between eye contact, there is a high percent chance that you will be picked within a few seconds of making eye contact. However, if you look around aimlessly like an idiot, psychologically, the teacher will choose you because she feels as if you havent done the homework or because you don't want to be called on. So how do you NOT get called in: look at the teacher every once in a while, but pretend like you dropped your pencil or your shoe is untied. If you do need to do something else, look at other students in the classroom, taking only a few seconds to glance at the teacher. Dont make it a stare, make it like a casual turning of the head. This way, you recognize what the teacher is saying and show that the homework is completed. Also, dont talk, teachers will call on you! hope this helps!

Answer 2

With a cluster sample, the teacher could divide the class into smaller groups or clusters based on some criteria like seating arrangement or alphabetical order. The teacher would then randomly select a few clusters from which to choose the students for the task. This method allows for a more manageable way to select students while still maintaining a random element.
