RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter contains the research design population and sampling, sampling procedure,
research instrument, data gathering technique and data processing. The statistical treatment
that will be engaged and developed are involved and distinctly described.
Research Design
This study used a descriptive type of research. This method is the most widely used research design as
indicated by theses, dissertations, and research reports of research institutions. In education research, the
most commonly descriptive methodology is the survey, as when researchers summarize the characteristics
(abilities, preferences, behaviors, and so on) of individuals or groups or physical environment of schools
(Veroy, 2013).
This process was used in this study in order to the Sports Performances and Academic Achievement
among Southern Tagalog Regional Association of State Colleges and Universities (STRASUC) Athletes of
Laguna State Polytechnic University, Year 2019-2020.

studies and in the measurement of attitudes and opinions (Norona, 2014).
The research tool used in this study was a checklist questionnaire accompanied and managed to the teacher respondents of STRASUC Athletes
of LSPU.
The questionnaire-checklist was divided into two parts: Part I of the questionnaire dealt with STRASUC Athletes Profile in terms of Age,

Tagalog Regional Association of State Colleges and Universities (STRASUC) Athletes of
Laguna State Polytechnic University, Year 2019-2020, the researcher used frequency
distribution and the percentage presented as pie graph.
In determining the level of academic achievement and sport performance of the
STRASUC Athletes the researcher used mean and the standard deviation. To determine the
significant relationship of academic achievements and sports performances among
