METHODOLOGY

This chapter of the study discusses how the researchers will gather

the necessary data and information that will use in the study. This

chapter will have a procedure of data collection and instruments applied.

Also explain the type of research, research method and the tools for data

analysis in the setting of this study.

Research Design

The study utilized the descriptive research method. This kind of

research design is a study designed to depict the participants in an

accurate way. The three main ways to collect this information are:

Observational, defined as a method of viewing and recording the

participants. This study determined the Senior High School Students’

Profile in Calasiao Comprehensive National High School.

Sources of Data

The Calasiao Comprehensive National High School (CCNHS) having

a total of five thousand sixty four (5,064) populations including the

Junior and Senior High School Student. The Junior High School have a

total of three thousand eight hundred twenty four (3,824).The total

number of Senior High School Students is one thousand two hundred

forty (1,240). Grade 11 students is three hundred three (303) males and

18
the female grade 11 students is three hundred thirty nine (339) while

grade 12 population is two hundred sixty nine (269) males and three

hundred twenty nine (329) of females. The Senior High School

curriculum classified four (4) academic tracks which is Humanities and

Social Science (HUMMS), Science and Technology Engineering

Mathematics (STEM), Accountancy and Business Management (ABM)

and General Academic Strand (GAS) also school offers Technical

Vocational and Livelihood (TVL) and livelihood contain Home Economics

(HE), and Information Communication Technology also known (ICT)

beyond the population of students only grade 11 students will choose

being respondent in this research only one hundred (100) will answer the

research problem.

Instrumentation and Data Collection

This data information, often in the form of facts or figures obtained

from the survey. The researcher will use the survey for basis and making

an explanation of findings.Collecting of data is very crucial in align with

the research so that, it is important to determine and use proper

procedure in data gathering so that correct and reliable information

gathered in the setting of the study. The researchers provided a letter by

the research adviser, Mr. Danilo Soriano Jr. LPT, Med requesting a

19
permission to undergo the study about “Senior High School Students’

Profile in Calasiao Comprehensive National High School (CCNHS)” that

would be used in conducting a data in order to fulfill the research study.

The researchers use questionnaire as primary instrument for gathering a

data. Questionnaire: the researchers will use this method as a primary

tool to conduct a data from the respondents.

Tools for Data Analysis

The researchers need to analyze the data from researchers’

qualitative research study in order to make sense of it and to make

accessible to the researcher (and people who read the report of the

research) the large amount of rich textual data that has been generated.

Data analysis consists of: examining, categorizing, tabulating,

recombining, the evidence obtained from the research.All this is

concerned with the organization and the interpretation of information

(other than numerical information, which is generally the preserve of

quantitative research) in order to discover any important underlying

patterns and trend.Qualitative data analysis involves such processes as

coding (open, axial, and selective), categorizing and making sense of the

essential meanings of the phenomenon.

20
 As the researchers’ works/lives with the rich descriptive data, then

common themes or essences begin to emerge. This stage of analysis

basically involves total immersion for as long as it is needed in order to

ensure both a pure and a thorough description of the phenomenon.

All this is concerned with the organization and the interpretation of

information (other than numerical information, which is generally the

preserve of quantitative research] in order to discover any important

underlying patterns and trends.
