Research Design
There will one methodological framework that the researchers will employed in this
seeks for variable that connects with each other, so that when variable changes, the
research had an idea on how the other variable change as well. For instance, if the first
variable increases and the other variable increases as well then it will result to a positive
correlation. On the other hand, if the first variable increases while the other deceases
then it will result to a negative correlation. In, addition according to Prince and Oswald
2008, correlational studies involve testing null hypothesis to see if the relationship of the

Research Respondents
The respondents of this study are the Senior High School students from STEM
According to the statistical and technical team (2001), a statistical sample should
include 50-100 cases for each sample per sub-group to analyze. This is also supported
by Chassan (1979) which state that methodologists insists upon a minimum of 50-100

Research Instrument
The major tool that will be used in the data gathering process was a survey
The survey questionnaire will undergo validation by the chosen poll of experts.
This was to ensure that the survey qeustionnaires adapted and created by the

accordingly. The statistical tools were utilized in the study are the following;

Ethical Considerations
To address the issues on credibility on this research, the researchers made use
of Lincoln and Guba's (1985) truthworties and authenticity which has four creteria:
internal validity, eternal validity, reliability and objectivity (Bryman, 2001) respectively. The
researchers had made sure that the questionnaire items were connected with the
research questions. And it provided an accurate representation of the variables. With the
validation of the questionnaire and adaption of a survey qurstionnaire, the research can
therefore be reliable.
transferability"is concerned with the extent yo which thr findings of one study can be
applied to other situations." To achieve it, the researchers ensured that sufficient
contextual information were provided to readers to relate the finding to their own position.
There was comprehensible and detailed explantion, guided with related literature. Tables
and graphs in the presentation of information . With this, future researchers could use this
study yo unlock new discoveries or strategies in connection with free voluntary reading or
Lastly, auditing of the data were instituted through the use of audit trail, thus we
attained confirmability or objectively. The data that were collected by the researchers
were well kept, sorting the responses of each tribe. Colored sticky notes, pink, blue, were

Another issue of ethics that the researchers faced was the assurance of respect
for persons, beneficence and justice, three core ptinciples in research ethics by Mack et
Al (2005). In achieving this, there was confidentially of the research respondents. They
and their parents were given consent forms for voluntary submission on the research.
Furthermore, their names on their consent forms were blackened completely using a
marker for confidentially putposes. It was also assumed that the participants did not have
any misgiving with regard to the data that gathered. If there were interviews to support
the findings of the study, pseudonyms were used for the participants. Whenever we
conducted research on people, the well-being of research participants must be the top
priority. The statement of the problem is always of secondary importance. This means
that if a choice must be made between doing harm to a participant and doing harm to the
