Chapter I
Being an Alternative Learning System (ALS) student is difficult. There are working
students, single mothers, youth and adults who need basic and functional literacy skills,
knowledge and values who struggle to attend the classes regularly and to pass the activity on
time. Some students are still unable to attend classes because they don’t have enough time. In
order to know how much Alternative Learning System (ALS) students are committed to their
academic performance, this study aims to know the level of academic commitment of
School.

In this study, the researchers will use heuristic approach to measure the sample size in
the population. Heuristic approach refers to the rule of the thumb for sample size. The early
established approach by Gay (1976) stated by Cristobal and Dela Cruz (2017).
Descriptive research design involves observing and collecting data on a given topic

The researchers choose descriptive research design to discover the level of academic
commitment of Alternative Learning System ( ALS) student. It will help to understand the
struggles and accomplishments of ALS student in their learning despite of their other
responsibilities in life. Descriptive research was the appropriate design to understand and

In this study, the researchers will use random sampling method to gather data that will
be use in this study. Random sampling, a subset of the population chosen at random is known
as a simple random sample. All individuals in the population have an identical probability of
Because it just requires one random pick and minimal prior population knowledge, this
approach is the simplest of all the probability sampling techniques. Randomization ensures
that research conducted on this sample has high internal and external validity and decreased
risk of research biases such as selection and sampling bias ( Lauren Tomas, 2023).
