CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This study is to measure the level of attitude of Grade 12
students while doing their research. Action research can be
defined as “an approach in which the action researcher and
a client collaborate in the diagnosis of the problem and in
the development of a solution based on the diagnosis”
(Bryman and Bell, 2011)
According to Michael Linsin (2017), students can handle
their bad attitudes by means of keeping the attitude inside
of them and they have to focus on what they are doing and
always think of the purpose what they have to do it. The
only that can help students to conquer that attitude is only
them and no one else. Some of the solutions to bad attitudes
are the advices of the parents and of course help themselves
to adapt those advices and to apply it to themselves.
In this research, the researchers should know the
different attitude of students, including their gender, age,
year level and their strand/track. This research will

conducted in Wesleyan Univesity Philippines and it will
finish on january 2022.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Different attitude of students in research
According to Amin (2017), the study revealed that
students have favorable attitude towards research and
significant difference on the attitude occurred among
internet and non – internet users. On the other hand, Wang
and Guo (2011) made a study on the influence of required
research component such as thesis or research project on
student’s attitude towards research methods classes and
their research posited that students can encounter major
obstacles while studying in research method classes and
applying learned knowledge.
Nowadays, research has turned into one of the most
significant rational assets for all human being to transform
his way of life. Man’s huge rise depends upon research which
made an important function in itself. In the Philippines,
the demands for research in education was addressed through
immersing pioneers of senior high school programs since
school year 2016 until now. (Hussain et.al, 2016)

According to Davari et al. (2015),in their research
entitled; “ The evaluation of relationship Between Self –
efficiency in research and Research performance of Dental
student of Yata Dental College in 2014 “ concluded that the
overall mean of self – efficiency in research was 159.79
±27.69 and the mean of research of performance was
11.02±16.37. The results showed that there was a significant
and positive relationship between the overall scale of self–
efficiency and research (p–value= 0.004,r=03). Based on the
age, there was no significant difference in the mean score
of self–efficiency in research in all aspects but in the
areas of skills and expertise (p 0.05). There was a
significant difference in the mean score of research
performance in terms of the age (p–value= 0.023).There was
no statistical significant between the overall mean score
and the score of seven parts of self – efficiency in
research and research performance in the terms of sex (p
0.05). Regarding the association of self – efficiency in
research with research performance of dental students, it
can be stated that awareness of the level of self –
efficiency in research can lead to better planning for
improving the research performance.

Shankat et al. (2014), found out that students have
positive attitudes towards research. Similarly, significant
results were found on age different programs of study and
university types. Similar work has been conducted by Shu-
Ching Wang and Yuh-Jen Guo (2011) as they sought to
investigate the influence of a required research component
such as a thesis or research project on students’ attitude
towards research methods classes and research. They
concluded that students can encounter major obstacles while
studying in research methods classes and applying learned
knowledge. Moreover, Wang and Guo observed that students
experienced immediate and long term effects from any adverse
influences they meet in research methods classes and exhibit
a reduced level of motivation to actively participate in
research methods classes and activities. Students at the
undergraduate level usually tend to view research methods
courses negatively. However, an understanding of these
attitudes is necessary to help instructors facilitate the
learning of research principles for their students by
enabling them to create more positive attitudes toward such
courses (Papanastasiou, 2002, p.16).
Students’ attitude directly influences how they
mentally approach research including all the work related to

research. Positivism enables students to solve problems
quickly in which negative attitude hampers the efforts in
research. (Miandashti and Rezaei, 2013)
According to Mezzel and Zemliansky (2012), on
“Student’s Pre-existing attitude towards research writing “,
students enter college carrying with them baggage of
negative attitudes on research writing. Students tend to
equate research work with looking for and reporting
information and not with development and summarizing of new
knowledge. Second, when completing assignment in a research
course many students display more involvement and eagerness
in primary research while continuing to show negative
attitudes towards secondary research.
According to Seinens et al. (2010), conducted a study
on the medical students to explore their attitudes towards
the research and found that through the majority of the
students felt that research would be beneficial in their
career, fewer than half of the students were significantly
involved in any research activity during their medical
school. Students who realize the need of Spending more time
in research activities are even fewer: about one fourth of
the students reported no interests in any such activity.

Factors that affect the student’s attitude
According to Mohammadi et al.(2016), the proposal
writing workshops, introduction to the English and Persian
resources practical application of scientific methods, as
well as attending the lesson research methodology workshop,
and coordinating education and research affairs, can help
students actively participate in research activities.
According to Siddiqui and Ashmad (2015), conducted
study on the research attitude of social science research
scholars in relation to their motivation and self-concept.
It revealed that achievement, motivation and self-concept
played an important role in affecting the research attitude
of scholars.
Moreover Fishbein and Ajzen (2013), describe that
attitude is a learned predisposition to respond in a
consistently favorable or unfavorable manner with respect to
a given object. This proposes that condition existing within
the teaching and learning situation or environment will have
direct influence on the formulation of learners’ attitude
both in cognitive and affective aspects. Furthermore,
Belgrave and Jules (2013), enumerated the types of attitudes

which learners possess and among them is their attitude
towards research and about research learning in general.
According Zamani-Miandashti et al. (2013), revealed
that there is an existed relationship between effort
regulation and university students self-efficacy for
performance and learning. The results showed that when
students have a higher self-efficacy, they are more likely
to put more efforts into their academic studies.

SYNTHESIS OF RELATED LITERATURE
According to Amin (2017) that students have favorable
attitude towards research and significant difference on the
attitude occurred among internet and non – internet users.
On the other hand, Wang and Guo (2011) said that students
can encounter major obstacles while studying in research
method classes and applying learned knowledge. Shu-Ching
Wang and Yuh-Jen Guo (2011) concluded that students can
encounter major obstacles while studying in research methods
classes and applying learned knowledge.
Moreover Hussain et.al, (2016), said that research has
turned into one of the most significant rational assets for
all human being to transform his way of life. Man’s huge
rise depends upon research which made an important function
in itself.
From the literature gathered, it really implies that
attitude towards research greatly affects on how people deal
with research. Whether a person undergone a good or bad
experience with research, it indicates when he or she will
still engage in research and his or her attitude towards it
will neither be optimistic or pessimistic. The ideas

discussed can help the researcher in suggesting ways of
overcoming negative attitudes towards research. It could
also be possible that the result of this study be a great
help to research teachers, especially in senior high school
to consider their students attitude towards research and be
able to address them properly. Likewise, the researcher is
looking forward for a better and positive result of the
study.

Philippines Senior High School located in Mabini Extension,
3100 Cabanatuan City Nueva Ecija during 1st semester of S.Y.
2021-2022.
DEFFINITION OF TERMS
Attitude- A students’ personal beliefs, feelings, and
tendencies, about education that are based on
past experiences.
Outcome- the result of the study.
Socio demographic profile (SDP)- refers to group defined by
its sociological and demographic characteristics.
Students- respondents that researcher may interview.
Symposium- a formal meeting which several specialist deliver
short addresses on a topic or on related topics.

CHAPTER II
METHOD
Descriptive design/ research
Descriptive research design is a scientific method
which involves observing and describing the behavior of a
subject without influencing it in any way. (Martyn
Shuttleworth,2019)
Quantitative research design is the standard
experimental method of most scientific disciplines. (Martyn
Shuttleworth,2019)
Research and Instrument
A questionnaire is a research instrument consisting of
a series of questions for the purpose of gathering
information from respondents. (Saul McLeod,2018)
Questionnaires provide a relative cheap, quick, and
efficient way of obtaining large amounts of information from
a large sample of people. (Saul McLeod,2018)

The researcher used questionnaire to gathered data to
support their study. This is useful for large populations
when interviews would be impractical.
Research Site
Wesleyan University Philippines is important because
this is where the students conduct their research and learn
different studies. School not only helps the students learn
necessary concepts and skills, but it also allows students
to interact with other students socially, academically, and
emotionally.
Mabini Extension is a barangay in the city of
Cabanatuan, in the province of Nueva Ecija. Its population
as determined by the 2020 Census was 3,208. This represented
0.98% of the total population of Cabanatuan.
Data Collection
This study conduct a certain survey form for the
students think will serve as a primary source of data
collection, the survey form will be distributed to the 100
respondents which are the students of Grade 12 senior high
school.
Data Analysis
Likert scale usually have five potential choices
(strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, strongly
disagree) but sometimes go up to ten or more. The final
average score represents overall level of accomplishment or
attitude toward the subject matter.
A method of ascribing quantitative value to
quantitative data to make it amenable to statistical
analysis. A numerical value is assigned to each potential
choice and a mean figure for all the responses is computed
at the end of the evolution or survey.
Range Verbal Values
interpretation
3.25 – 4.00 Strongly agree 4
2.50 – 3.29 Agree 3
1.75 – 2.49 Disagree 2
1.00 – 1.74 Strongly disagree 1
The researchers used quantitative research to quantify
attitude, opinions, behaviors and other defined variables
and generalize result from a larger sample population.
A frequency attribution table in a chart that summarize
value and their frequency. It is a useful way to organize

data if you have a list of numbers that represents the
frequency of a certain outcome in sample.
Mean implies average and it is the sum of a set of data
divided by the numbers of data. Mean can prove to be an
effective tool when comparing different sets of data.
Validity and Reliability of Instrument
This study is conducted with questionnaire that will be
given ‘to the selected students of senior high school Grade
12 who are involve in the research, questionnaire contains
question that is related to the research topic that will be
needed for the collection of data.
The questionnaire contains some questions that will
serve as a guide for the researcher, this questions are the
different types of attitudes of students, and the profile of
respondents or the socio demographic profile which are the
age, gender , year level, and the track/ strand of a
respondents.
CHAPTER III
Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of Results

Table 2 shows the profile of senior high
respondents in terms of age, gender, year level and
track/strand.

Total 100 100.00
AGE
Age of senior high school respondents. It is shown in
table 2 that those respondents with age 17-18 years old has
the highest number of contribution which is 86 or 86.00%,
age 19-20 years has the number distribution which is 12 or
12.00% and respondents with age of 21 and above has the
lowest number of distribution which is 2 or 2.00%.
According to records, respondents who belong to the age
of 17-18, 19-20 and 21 or above are those respondents who
are students who are doing research as a relevant activity
to learn at school, and they find themselves reasonably
capable to complete such tasks.
Furthermore, The Department of Education (2016) stated
that age was the single largest predictor. Age of the
respondents is one of the most important characteristics in
understanding their views about the particular problems; by
the large age indicates level of maturity of individuals in
that sense age becomes more important to examine the
response. For teachers, age- do matter when it comes to
choosing either a deep or a surface learning approach.

GENDER
Gender of the senior high school respondents. The table
shows that most of the respondents are female students with
51 or 51.00% while male respondents has 49 or 40.00% of the
total population.
Based on the data gathered, it is observed that the
senior high school of Wesleyan University Philippines for
school year 2021-2022 were mostly female.
According to Baird (2016), it considers that age,
gender, study modalities, the type of qualifications
allowing admission to the programme, and the campus could
have an influence on fear of research courses as well as on
research orientation.
YEAR LEVEL
Year level of senior high school respondents. The table
shows that all of the respondents are grade 12 with
respondents of 100 or 100.00%.

Based on the data gathered, the 100 respondents of
senior high school students in Grade 12 answered the
questionnaires we gave them to see the results of different
attitude of students in doing research.
According to K-12 Philippines, 2015 Senior High School
(SHS) covers the last two years of the K-12 program and
includes Grade 11 and 12. In SHS, students will go through a
core curriculum and subjects under a track of their choice.
TRACK/STRAND
Track/Strand of senior high school respondents. The
table show that most of the respondent are STEM with
respondents of 71 or 71.00%, while HUMMS respondents has 29
or 29.00% of the total population.
The data implies that there are positive and negative
attitude of students in doing research specially those
students in STEM .
The choice of career track will define the content of
the subject will take in Grade 12. Senior High School
subjects fall either the Core Curriculum of specific Tracks
(official Gazette, 2012).

Table 3 shows that from the items identified for the
attitudes of students in doing research, item number 1 “ I
help my group in doing a research” had the highest weighted
mean of 3.52, interpreted as “strongly agree”. Second is the
item number 5 “The skills I have acquired in research will
be helpful to me in the future” got 3.46 weighted mean,
interpreted as “strongly agree”. While the least number of
the respondents are the item number 8 “Research is
complicated” got the least weighted mean of 3.02,
interpreted as “agree”. Next is item number 7 “Research is
stressful” got 3.3 weighted mean, interpreted as “agree”.
Table 3 also shows the attitudes of students in doing
research. In this category, the overall impact of this part
shows that they are “Strongly agree” on the items about
their positive and negative attitude in doing a research, an
overall weighted mean of 3.26.

There are different kinds of attitude that students
show in doing research. In doing research, the students may
encounter some problems or obstacle that may challenge them
while doing their studies. One of the major problem is the
lacking of equipment like laptop or internet, which makes
the students become lazy in doing their research on time,
and may lead to a negative attitude.
One of the respondents said that,
“one of the major problem that

students encounter while doing
research is that they don’t have
Laptop so they can’t pass their
research on time because they
will wait to their classmate
finished their study so they can
borrow their laptop, so in the
end they are late passing their
papers”.
However, research plays an important role in student’s
life, they will become more responsible and they will able
know how to handle their attitude in doing a research.
Students will realize that their study will help them in
the future.
One of the respondents said that,
“Students know that this

research is important and they
learn and discover something
that they don’t know and they
are more responsible now

especially in time management,
they always pass papers on
time”.
Wang and Guo (2011) made a study on the influence of
required research component such as thesis or research
project on student’s attitude towards research methods
classes and their research posited that students can
encounter major obstacles while studying in research method
classes and applying learned knowledge.
According to Davari et al. (2015), stated that
awareness of the level of self – efficiency in research can
lead to better planning for improving the research
performance.
According to Seinens et al. (2010), conducted a study
on the medical students to explore their attitudes towards
the research and found that through the majority of the
students felt that research would be beneficial in their
career.
CHAPTER IV
Summary, Conclusion and Recommendations
Summary of findings
1. Socio- demographic profile of the students
Age
Respondents with age 17-18 had the highest number of
respondents that was 86 or 86.00% while those with
respondents with age 20 and above had the lowest number of
respondents that was 2 or 2% of the total age population.
Gender
Most of the respondents were female students with 51 or
51.00% while male students numbered 49 or 49.00% of the
total gender population.
Year level
All of the respondents were Grade 12 student’s that was
100 or 100.00% of the total year level population.
Track/Strand
Most of the respondents were STEM students with the
highest number of respondents which was 71 or 71.00%, while

HUMMS students has the lowest number of respondents which
was 29 or 29.00% of the total track/strand population.
2. Positive and negative attitude of students in doing a
research
Students help their group in doing research
In this category, the overall impact of this part shows
that they are “strongly agree” on the items about positive
attitude in doing research, with weighted mean of 3.52.
Research- oriented thinking plays an important role in
student’s life
In this category, the overall impact of this part show
that they are “strongly agree” on the items about research
has an important role in life, with weighted mean of 3.4.
Being stress have an impact on student’s attitude
In this category, the overall impact of this part
shows that they are “agree” on the item about research is
stressful and it has impact on student’s attitude, with
weighted mean of 3.3.

Different attitudes of students in doing research
In this category, the overall impact of this part shows
that they are “strongly agree” on the item about positive
and negative attitudes in doing research, an overall
weighted mean of 3.26.
Conclusions
1. The socio-demographic profile of the respondents show
that most of the respondents in senior high school has
the highest number of female, age 17-18 years old,
grade 12 students and in General Academic Strand, they
possess significantly more positive and they are
motivated in doing their research.
2. The positive and negative attitude of a student’s in
doing their research have a great impact on their
study. On the positive, students are motivated in doing
a research because they know that it will help them in
the future and it has an important role in student’s
life. On the negative attitude of students in doing
research, the researcher found out that being stress
can lead to a negative attitude of a student, they
cannot focus on their study so in the end, they will
not do their research and they will not pass it on
time.
3. The researcher came up to an idea of having symposium
about boosting positive attitude of students in doing a
research. Consider trying some these self-acceptance
activities to make student aware of his/her strengths
and weaknesses. In turn, the student can begin thinking
positively, developing self-esteem and celebrating

his/her identity. Incorporate a reward system to
encourage positivity at all times.

Recommendations
1. Students should be aware to their attitudes so that it
will be easy to them to handle it and do research
seriously, because their study will help them a lot in
the future.
2. Parents should understand and motivate their children
in doing research and help them to be more responsible.
3. Teacher should have a long patience to their students,
make sure that they discussed clearly, what they are
going to do and motivate their students to study hard
and finish their work on time.
4. Future researchers encourage studying hard and using
this research as a guide to their study, it will help
them to improve their attitude and for them to be able
to avoid the factors that can affect their attitudes in
doing research.

This study is to measure the level of attitude of Grade 12

students while doing their research. Action research can be

defined as “an approach in which the action researcher and

a client collaborate in the diagnosis of the problem and in

the development of a solution based on the diagnosis”

(Bryman and Bell, 2011)

According to Michael Linsin (2017), students can handle

their bad attitudes by means of keeping the attitude inside

always think of the purpose what they have to do it. The

only that can help students to conquer that attitude is only

them and no one else. Some of the solutions to bad attitudes

are the advices of the parents and of course help themselves

to adapt those advices and to apply it to themselves.

In this research, the researchers should know the

different attitude of students, including their gender, age,

year level and their strand/track. This research will

and positive relationship between the overall scale of self–

efficiency and research (p–value= 0.004,r=03). Based on the

age, there was no significant difference in the mean score

of self–efficiency in research in all aspects but in the

areas of skills and expertise (p 0.05). There was a

significant difference in the mean score of research

performance in terms of the age (p–value= 0.023).There was

no statistical significant between the overall mean score

and the score of seven parts of self – efficiency in
