METHODOLOGY

Research Design

The study will be conducted using the quantitative research. This research will

investigate the consequences of sexual inequality in the academic performance of the senior high

school students. This study is intended to improve the academic performance of the students and

to lessen the consequences of gender discrimination in the classroom. It also provides insights

into the problems so that the researchers will develop ideas and provide solution to the study.

Locale of The Study

The study was conducted at the researchers’ own homes due to the COVID-19 pandemic

that restricted the researchers from outdoor meetings that resulted to inability in conducting the

study at the supposed to be location.

Data Gathering Procedure

The researchers will ask first a permission from the Senior High School Department

Coordinator. The researchers will personally conduct the research among the Grade 11 Senior

High School students in their respective class. The researchers will use the stratified sampling

technique to select the respondents and will use the survey questionnaires to gather data. All

answers will be kept confidential. After answering all the given questions, the researchers then

will analyze the data.

Population and Sampling Technique

 The researchers will choose grade 11 senior high school students of AMACC Naga since

the researchers observed that most of the students are experiencing the gender discrimination in

the classroom. The researchers wanted to know what is/are the reason/s that affect their academic

performance. The researchers chose Stratified Sampling Technique, a sampling method that is

focused on heterogeneous and homogenous in a population, because it is the most appropriate

sampling technique in this research study. The top 15 who have the highest ranking and the top

lowest ranking in all class are the main subject of the said technique. The researchers wanted to

know if gender inequality is one of the top contributors why the top bottom of class got the

lowest grade. Especially in the workplace where the students experienced gender discrimination,

resulting in getting a lower grade.

Statistical Treatment

The data gathered by the researchers were carefully tallied, analyzed and interpreted

using statistical tools to discover the impact of peer pressure to decision making skills of the

respondents. The researchers used frequency count, average weighted mean, and correlational

coefficient. (for the testing of hypothesis):

1) To answer problem #1 and #2, the researchers used Frequency Distribution. The

formula is shown below,

𝑃 =𝑓

∗100

Where:

P = Percentage
F = Total Response of Respondents

N = Number of Respondents

2) To answer problem #3, the researchers used the Average Weighted Mean. The formula

is shown below,

𝐴𝑊𝑀 = 4𝐹4 + 3𝐹3 + 2𝐹2 + 1𝐹1

AWM = Weighted Mean

N = Number of Respondents

F4: Number of students who answered “Always”

F3: Number of students who answered “Often”

F2: Number of students who answered “Seldom”

F1: Number of students who answered “Never”

3) To answer problem #4, testing hypothesis, the researchers used the Pearson-r or the

Correlational Coefficient.

𝒓 = 𝑁Σ𝑥𝑦 − (Σ𝑥)(Σ𝑦)

[𝑁 Σ𝑥2 − (Σ𝑥)2][𝑁 Σ𝑦2 − (Σ𝑦)2]

Where:

N = Number of pairs of scores

Σ 𝑥 𝑦 = Sum of the products of paired scores

Σ 𝑥 = Sum of x scores

Σ 𝑦 = Sum of y scores
Σ 𝑥2 = Sum of squared x scores

Σ 𝑦2 = Sum of squared y scores
