4.4 Data Gathering Procedure

The main purpose of this is to understand how the researchers gathered

the data in Negros Occidental Tourism Office. First, the researchers send a letter

to ask permission to conduct a feasibility study to the said office. After the permit

was granted, the researchers set an appointment to Ms. Christine Mansinares

who is the head officer of the said office. The researchers take also some leaflets

used by the tourism office. After the date is scheduled, the researchers come up

to produce some questions that relevant to the study. During the interview, the

conversation between Ms. Christine and by the researchers is being recorded in

order not to waste some information. After which, the researchers did the

analyzation based on the information that been gathered through the interview

and interpret it according to the purpose of the study.

4.5 Data Analysis Procedure

To determine the acceptability of the Faces of Negros Occidental Web-

based Application, the following procedure was made to analyze the gathered

data to test the research. The main purpose of questionnaires was to determine
 Carlos Hilado Memorial State College – Talisay
Faces of Negros Occidental Web-based Application 55

the overall function of the system. For every criteria in the questionnaires, there

are five choices. The choices represent the degree of agreement each

respondent had on the given question. To interpret the total response of all the

respondents by computing the total mean, the scale was used.

After gathering all the system evaluation form from the respondents, the

total response for each item was tabulated. The first evaluation resulted in an

Excellent which means that the web-based Application was acceptable to

address the organization’s need.
