This chapter presents the research design, research subject, research
instruments, data gathering procedure, and statistical tools employed in this investigation.
Research Design
The researcher chose a Survey Research Design because it best served to answer
the questions and the purposes of the study. The survey research is one in which a group
of people or items is studied by collecting and analyzing data from only a few people or
items considered to be representative of the entire group. In other words, only a part of
the population is studied, and findings from this are expected to be generalized to the
entire population (Nworgu 1991:68). Similary, McBurney (1994:170) defines the survey
assessing public opinion or individual characteristics by the use of questionnaire and
sampling methods.
It is also a Qualitative Research which made use of descriptive survey method. It
is descriptive study because it involved the collection of data concerning the effect of one-
in one-out policy in tagum city national high school.
