Statistical Treatment of the Data

The data gathered were subjected to appropriate statistical tools give as follows:

To analyze the result of the study, the researchers used relative frequency for

problem 1, weighted mean for problem 2, chi-square for problem 3 and t-test for problem

4.

1. To determine the demographic profile of the students, relative frequency was used.

The formula given as:

𝑓
RF= 𝑛.100

Where RF – relative frequency

f – frequency of respondents

N – total number of respondents

2. To determine how contemporary teaching methods affect the academic

performance of the students, weighted mean was used. The formula is:

𝑁
Σ 𝑖 = 𝑓 𝑖𝑥 𝑖
𝜇=
𝑁

Where 𝜇 - weighted mean

Σ – summation

f – frequency of response

x – weight of the scale

N – total number of cases

In determining the impacts of contemporary teaching methods to students’

reading comprehension and demonstrating skills assessed by the students, Likert

Scale was used.

Scale Verbal Interpretation

3.26 – 4.00 Highly Manifested (HM)

2.51 – 3.25 Moderately Manifested (MM)

1.76 – 2.50 Less Manifested (LM)

 1.00 – 1.75 Not at All (NA)

3. To determine the significant relationship between the demographic profile of the

respondents and their reading comprehension and demonstrating skills, Pearson

R was used. The formula is:

(𝑂−𝐸)
𝜒2 = Σ 𝐸

Where Σ - summation

O – observed cases

E – expected cases

Decision Rule:

If 𝜒 2 computed <𝜒 2 tabular value, 𝐻𝑂 is accepted;

If 𝜒 2 computed >𝜒 2 tabular value, 𝐻𝑂 is rejected.
