A sampling frame is a list or set of all the people or things you could choose from to include in a research study. Imagine you're doing a project to find out what students think about school lunches. Your sampling frame could be a list of all the students in your school. This list helps researchers make sure they pick a fair and representative group for their study, so that the results reflect what the whole school thinks, not just a few people. In GCSE Sociology, understanding the sampling frame is important because it helps to collect data that is accurate and reliable.
