CHAPTER III

METHODOLOGY

This chapter will present the discussion on the research

methodology of the study, the subjects, sampling technique, research

instruments and procedure of data gathering that will be used for the

accurate data analysis and interpretation.

Research Design

This section specified what method of research will be used; the

researchers will use descriptive research because they will determine the

cultural diversity of the students and its effects on their academic

performance.

Research Locale

This study will be conducted at Villamor College of Business and

Arts, Balimbing Street, General Santos City, 9500.

Research Respondents

The researchers will use systematic sampling, a procedure that

involves selecting every kth element from a list of population elements.

The researchers decide to pick every 4th person in the population. There

are 92 Grade 11 students and 40 Grade students. So there will be 23

respondents in Grade 11 and 10 respondents in Grade 12, and a total of

33 respondents in all.
Research Instruments

The researchers will design questionnaires for the data gathering

process to get a quantitative data. The main purpose of the questionnaires

is to determine the cultural diversity of the students and its effects on their

academic performance.

Data Gathering Procedures

The researchers will personally administer the questionnaires to the

respondents of this research; they will discuss what the study all about

and will properly distribute the questionnaires. The respondents will be

given time to answer the questions honestly and accurately. After the

questionnaires have been finish, the results will be tallied and tabulated.

The data will serve as the basis of analysis and interpretation.

Statistical Treatment

The researchers will use Pearson Correlation, a type of correlation

that represents the relationship between two variables that are measured

on the same interval or ratio scale and a measure of the strength of

association between two continuous variables, (Investopedia, 2018),

because the researchers will determine if there is a significant relationship

between the Cultural Diversity of the Grade 11 and 12 students and their

Academic performance.
