RESEARCH METHOD

This chapter presents the research design, research environment,

research respondents and sampling procedures, research instruments and

their validity, data gathering procedures and statistical treatment.

Research Design

The study is a descriptive-correlation research design. The

researchers describe the pupil’s satisfaction level on the use of zoom cloud

meeting as an educational platform and its effect to pupil’s level of

engagement at KVSDAES. The researchers also describe the correlation

between the pupil’s satisfaction level, pupil’s level of engagement, socio-

economic profile in terms of sex, age, monthly family income, internet

connection and parent’s educational attainment.

Research Environment

The study will be conducted at Kapatagan SDA Elementary School,

located at Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte. It has (8) rooms, serving the

preschool and elementary learners (3) offices serving the Principal,

Cashier and the School Clinic. It also has a sufficient ground which can

accommodate its pupils/students during flag ceremonies. The school

structure provides its students with convenience since most its rooms are

just adjacent to each other. When students move from one room to

another, they do not have to walk far. Figure B shows the locale of the

study.

Respondents

The respondents of this research were the Grade 6 learners of

Kapatagan Valley SDA Elementary School. These students were chosen

because they have an experience on using the zoom cloud meeting as a

new educational platform since this pandemic had risen. The researcher

chose 20 grade 6 learners who are very active students to be interview.

Also, student who dealt with problems during the learning process was

chosen. This criterion was set to make the data become saturated since

different perceptions might occur based on the students’ activeness

perception in the classroom. Since the beginning of COVID-19pandemic,

the learning activities had moved to online learning due to the physical and

social distancing, the setting of this research took place on the online

classroom of Grade 6 learners of Kapatagan Valley SDA Elementary

School.

Research Instrument and its Validity

The researchers adapted questionnaires. This questionnaires was

divided into parts. Part I determine the socio-economic profile in terms of

sex, age, monthly family income, internet connection and parent’s

educational attainment. Part II examines the pupil’s satisfaction level on

the use of zoom cloud meeting as an educational platform. Lastly, Part III

gathers data on pupil’s level of engagement in terms of asynchronous and

synchronous activities. The scoring procedure useS Likert scale which is

4- Strongly Agree, 3- Agree, 2- Disagree, 1- Strongly Disagree.

Data Gathering Procedures

The researchers will gather data with the following ethical

procedures. First, the researchers will ask approval from the Vice

President of Academic Affairs and Department Dean to conduct the study.

Second, the researchers will ask permission from the respondents. Third,

the researchers draft and validate the questionnaires before distributing

them to will the respondents. The researchers will then retrieve the

questionnaires. After retrieval, the researchers consolidate the data

gathered, as well as analyze and interpret the results. Lastly, the

finalization of the research with the formulation of conclusions and

recommendation. Figure C shows the flowchart for the data gathering

procedures.

Statistical Treatment

The following statistical tools were used to analyze and interpret the

results of the study.

1. Frequency and Percentage. These tools were used to compute the

number of responses and its ratio. This helped to answer the problem 1.

2. Mean. This tool was used to calculate the degree of responses in each

indicator. This helped to answer problem 2 and 3.

All computations were done through the micro-statistics software, SPSS.
