Methodology

This chapter describes the research design, setting, and population, sample and sampling

instrument, data collection, and data analysis

Research design

The present study followed a quantitative research design based on descriptive

method. This approach was chosen given that the purpose of the research is to describe and

analyze the severity of Internet piracy

Setting and Population

The area covered by the study will be the institution of De La Salle John Bosco

Data Sampling

To get the number of respondents or sample, the researcher will use Slovin’s

formula to get an accurate result. The formula is n = N / (1+Ne2), n – Number of

respondents, N – Population size, e – Margin of error. The institution that we will conduct

our research on, has a population of 1362 students (from Grade 7 to 12) and using Slovin’s

formula we calculate the sample size of our research is 309 respondents with the margin of

error 0.05
Data Gathering
