Method

This study employed a descriptive quantitative research approach. The descriptive data
are used as a primary source of information, further complemented by numerical data in
measuring the reliability score. The numerical data were gathered, examined, and
interpreted thoroughly. Descriptive statistics aids researchers in creating concepts or
ideas; it's a tool used to efficiently, meaningfully, and logically compute, characterize,
and summarize the gathered data (Vetter, 2017).

Considering that this study used a descriptive quantitative research approach, the
researchers utilized various statistical measures to analyze the data, such as mean,
frequency count, and percentage. The researcher also employed the Classical Item and
Test Analysis Spreadsheet (CITAS), a statistical analysis tool. In addition to that, it used
Cronbach's alpha to assess the reliability and the item-level Content Validity Index
(I-CVI) and Scale Content Validity Index (S-CVI) to measure the validity. Furthermore,
Microsoft Excel and the Kuder-Richardson Formula (KR-20 and KR-21) were used to
measure and compute the scores.

Upon gathering the data, the researchers have carefully taken several steps to ensure
the collection of important information. Firstly, the researchers drafted test
questionnaires and prepared a letter of request for validation, which was submitted to
experts for verification. After validation, an approval letter was submitted to the Office of
the College Dean, Program Head, and adviser to conduct the study. The researchers
then created an online Google Form and distributed it to the respondents to have them
answer the questionnaires.

The researchers assured the respondents that all information would be strictly kept
confidential. The researchers explained the goal of the study to the participants, and
their willingness to take part significantly aided the success of the study. Additionally, the
researchers informed the participants that the questionnaire would be conducted
through Google Forms and emphasized the importance of answering all items to
generate a deep understanding of the research and obtain significant information. Once
the respondents successfully answer the test questionnaires, the researchers then
gather, study, analyze, and interpret the data. Conclusions and recommendations will be
formulated based on the results of the experiment.
