Locale of the Study

The study was conducted around the vicinity of Talisay Integrated School,

Research Instruments

The research instrument used in this study was the researcher-made

questionnaires. The survey form has two purposes, to determine the level of Class

Performance Tasks and the Student’s level of Anxiety. In the questionnaire, the

participants must answer the following question with regards to their moral, spiritual,

social, academic and also to their self, family, and community.

Data Gathering Procedures

15
 These procedures were done through a series of process that the researchers made

to utilize and came to their conclusions. The most important thing to conduct this kind of

study is to get the approval and permission of the School Principal, Madam Arlen T.

Apacicle, Principal-I, together with her assistant principal Madam Marilou M. Centina.

After getting the approval, the researchers made a questionnaire. Then, the questionnaire

was validated by the three expert teachers of Talisay Integrated School namely, Mrs.

Sheryl C. Tesoro, Mrs. Lucille C. Otañes, Mr. Raymart H. Agana to identify if there is

incorrect in the questionnaire or if it is precise. After the validation, the researchers had

chosen their respondents through random sampling. Before the questionnaire was given,

the researchers read first the letter to the respondents asking for their permission to

participate in the research study. Before the respondents started to answer the

questionnaire, the researchers explained first the content of the questionnaire and the

directions on how to properly accomplish it. Then respondents were now ready to answer

the questionnaire. After that, the questionnaire were gathered by the researchers ready for

tabulation and statistics.

Statistical Treatment

 To evaluate the level of Student's Class Performance, weighted mean was used.

The total rating was described by using the Likert’s scale.

Finally, to answer sub-problem 3, Pearson Product-Moment Correlation

Coefficient (r) was utilized to determine if there is a relationship between the Class

17
Performance Tasks of Student's and the Student’s Level of Anxiety in Talisay Integrated

School. To interpret the correlation value (r) that will be given in the study the following

classification was adopted from Calmorin (1995).

Range
An r from±0.00 to±0.20
An r from±0.21 to±0.40
An r from±0.41 to±0.70
An r from±0.71 to±0.90
An r from±0.91 to±0.99
An r from±1.oo
Interpretation
denotes negligible correlation
denotes low or slight relationship
denotes mark relationship
denotes high relationship
denotes very high relationship
denotes perfect correlation

The hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance.
