METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents a discussion on how the study was conducted. The research
utilized in this study are discussed in this part. This chapter will further show the steps
that the proponents made to carry out the objectives of this project.
Research Design
The proponents utilized the descriptive-survey method in this study. The data
conducted to the different colleges of CNSC more particularly to the CEIT and CAS to
gain profound insights about the manual process of faculty loading and to gather
necessary data that the proponents need to complete the study. In addition, content
analysis was used to analyze the existing system and to determine the extent of
effectiveness of CNSC Faculty Loading System. Library and online research were also
Research Instrument
Survey questionnaire was used as the data gathering instrument in this study.
Written and oral interviews were conducted to the faculty responsible in faculty loading
20
Colleges.
The first part of the questionnaire seeks information about the respondents such as
the name, gender, Department, position and the number of years in service.
The second part is about the process of faculty loading and scheduling as well as
the persons involved. Problems and possible solutions are also included.
To interpret the data, weighted mean, frequency and ranking were used to derive
the degree by which they perceived the effectiveness or if they agree to the
Weighted Mean:
X =∑ (WX)
Where:
X = weighted mean
∑ = symbol of summation
W = frequency
X = mark
Respondents
The respondents of this study were the College Secretary, College Dean and the
Department Heads of CEIT and CAS who were selected through Random Sampling.
Random sampling is used to arrive at the specific number of respondents that will be
surveyed. The persons who will use the proposed Computerized Faculty Loading System
were also considered as primary source of information regarding the faculty loading
system.
