Methodology

Reseach Design

Descriptive Research – is a type of research design that aims to obtain information to

Systematically describe a phenomenon, situation or population.
More specifically, it helps answer the what, when, where and how questions regarding the research
problem, rather than the why.

Research Environment
This study involves respondents from Bacungan National High School. Specifically, from Grade12
SHS Students living from Barangay Bacungan, Sta. Cruz and Salvacion.

Research Respondents
Students were selected from the three groups. (HUMSS, GAS, TVL)

Sampling Technique Used

The method of data collection employed for the present study was the stratified random
sampling. There were three groups, the HUMSS, GAS and TVL. The purposive sampling method
was also adopted.

Research Instrument
Questionnaire –

Research Paradigm

Dependent Variable
Rules and regulations

Independent Variables
Students

Moreover, to ensure that the respondents knew the purpose of investigation and answered the
questionnaire. Is very important. This involved providing information on the purpose, the
importance of the study, and the organization responsible for conducting the study, stating
there is no right or wrong answer, requesting honest answers, promising confidentiality, and
expressing appreciation.
Data Gathering Procedure
The ESAQ was administered to students from three different strands (HUMSS, TVL, and
GAS). The researchers themselves carried out the process strictly following the sampling plan
so as to achieve the desired number and qualified responses.

Data Analysis Procedure

Step One: Ask the Right Questions

Before you start collecting data, you need to first understand what you want to do with it. Take
some time to think about a specific business problem you want to address or consider a
hypothesis that could be solved with data. From there, you’ll create a set of measurable, clear,
and concise questions that will help answer that.

Step Two: Data Collection

This brings us to the next step: Data Collection. Now that you have a solid idea of your questions,
it’s time to define what data you need to find those answers. As a starting point, you’ll want to
determine if the data is readily available within your organization — like within employee survey
results or annual performance reviews in the HR case.

Step Three: Data Cleaning

This process, called data cleaning, consists of amending or removing incorrect or superfluous
data, as well as checking for incompleteness or inconsistencies. For instance, you might clean
spaces in front of letters or symbols or remove duplicates.

This is a vital step — because ultimately, the accuracy of your analysis will depend on the quality of
your data.

Step Four: Analyzing the Data

In this step, you’ll begin to slice and dice your data to extract meaningful insights from it. Using the
techniques and methods of data analysis, you’ll look for hidden patterns and relationships, and find
insights and predictions.

Step Five: Interpreting the Results

After you’ve interpreted the results and drawn meaningful insights from them, the next step is to
create visualizations by selecting the most appropriate charts and graphs. But pretty visualizations
aren’t all that are needed here. If you want your valuable discoveries to be implemented, you need to
be able to present it to decision-makers and stakeholders in a manner that’s compelling and easy to
comprehend. The best way to do this is through what’s called data storytelling, which basically means
turning your data into a compelling narrative.
