Descriptive research is an
appropriate choice when the
research aim is to identify
characteristics, frequencies,
trends, and categories.
Descriptive research is usually
defined as a type of quantitative
research, though qualitative
research can also be used for
descriptive purposes. According
to McCombes (2019),
descriptive research aims to
accurately and systematically
describe a population, situation
or phenomenon.
The researchers used this
method as it is well-suited to
properly and accurately answer
the research questions about
the effects of pandemic-related
comprehensive lockdown on
the physical health of the Senior
High School learners of Saint
Joseph Academy. This research
design can use a wide variety of
research methods to investigate
one or more variables. Before
the research happens, it’s need
to understand how, when and
where it happens. The research
design should be carefully
developed to ensure that the
results are valid and reliable.
According to McCombes (2019),
It is useful when not much is
known yet about the topic or
problem.
RESEARCH DESIGN
PROOF OR EXPLANATION
McCombes (2019), descriptive
research aims to accurately and
systematically describe a
population, situation or
phenomenon.
According to McCombes (2019),
It is useful when not much is
known yet about the topic or
problem.
When the aim of the study is to
classify features, frequencies,
trends, and categories, descriptive
analysis is a good option. Although
qualitative research may also be
used for descriptive purposes,
descriptive research is generally
defined as a form of quantitative
research.
This approach was chosen by the
researchers because it is well-
suited to answering the research
questions about the effects of
pandemic-related comprehensive
lockdown on the physical health of
Saint Joseph Academy Senior High
School students. To analyze one or
more variables, this research
design may employ a variety of
research techniques. It is
important to know how, when,
and where the study will take
place before it starts. To ensure
that the findings are accurate and
credible, the study design should
be carefully designed.
RESPONDENTS
APPLIED
The respondents in this sample
are the chosen learners of
Grade 11 & Grade 12 of Saint
Joseph Academy under the
academic year 2020-2021. The
number of respondents is
limited to 186 learners. The
researchers selected random
Senior High school learners
from Saint Joseph Academy as
their respondents. According to
Thomas (2020), has discussed
simple random samplings as a
randomly selected subject of a
population.
Respondents were chosen
because the research involves
the effects of pandemic-related
comprehensive lockdown on
the physical health of Senior
High School Learners of Saint
Joseph Academy. According to
Parsons (2017), stratification is
used to increase the efficiency
of a sample design with respect
to survey costs and estimator
precision.

PROOF OR EXPLANATION
The respondents in this survey
are selected students from Saint
Joseph Academy's Grade 11 and
Grade 12 learners for the 2020-
2021 academic year. There are
only 186 students who can
participate. The respondents
were Saint Joseph Academy
Senior High School students
who were chosen at random.
Respondents were selected
because the study is looking
into the impact of pandemic-
related comprehensive
lockdown on the physical health
of Saint Joseph Academy Senior
High School Learners.
