Practical Research 2 PDF
INTRODUCTION
Research was coined from the French word “cerhier” which means seek and prefix “re”
means to repeat or again (Faltado et al, 2016). This would mean that answers to the queries in
our mind and the knowledge that we are seeking are already existing since the dawn of time. We
are only exploring and rediscovering those missing links to connect the dots of informations and
this can be done through research.
Practical Research 2 is a course which aims to develop critical thinking and problem-
solving skills through Quantitative Research (DepEd Practical Research 2 Curriculum Guide,
2013). Pre-requisite to this course is Statistics and Probability. Hence, a student should have
passed Statistics and Probability course first before taking Practical Research 2. Otherwise,
“saling pusa ka lamang dito”.
Other than research that you have studied in your Junior High School and Practical
Research 1 for the previous year, try to further reflect, think, and then answer the following
questions:
EXPLORE
When something is new to you, one of the first thing you need to do is “getting to know”.
Similar with a person who is new to you, there is a need for you to “know the person and be
acquainted with each other” so that you can easily “get along with each other”. Just like studying
Practical Research 2, there is a need for you to familiarize with what you will deal with. In this
activity, you will learn to assess what you need to study in the aforementioned course or subject.
Activity 1: Pre-Assessing the Expected Learning in Practical Research (PR) 2

INTRODUCTION
You have learned different types of researches in your Practical Research 1 last year.
Ethnography, phenomenology, grounded theory, narratives are some of the examples of
qualitative research. What about in quantitative research?
According to Faltado et al. (2016), the following are the various kinds of quantitative
research that a researcher may employ: (1) Descriptive Research, (2) Correlational Research, (3)
Evaluation Research, (4) Survey Research, (5) Causal-Comparative Research, and (6)
Experimental Research. All these types of research test and evaluate knowledge which are useful
in arriving at possible solutions to problems.
Nowadays, research studies regardless of its’ types are gaining an unprecedented focus
and attention. It is no longer a higher education concern. Even in the basic education, teachers
devote their time in doing research such as action research to improve services to deliver quality,
relevant, and liberating education for all.
And aside from the numerous benefits that research brings to the teaching profession, it
also shows significance to various fields such as those related to senior high school tracks and
strands. These are:
Example 1: In the fields of Academic Science, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), medical
practitioners may conduct researches to obtain significant information about disease trends and
risk factors, results of various health interventions, patterns of care, and health care costs and
use.
Example 2: In the fields of Academic Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM),
researches can help design a new product or service, figuring out what is needed and ensure that
the development of a product is highly targeted towards demand.
Example 3: In the fields of Humanities and Social Sciences (HumSS), research aims to provide
solutions to the social problems directly felt by people.
Example 4: In the fields of Technical Vocational (TecVoc) strands, researches may be done on
acceptability of innovations in the services being offered and product development.
In general, research helps us understand and assess the things and occurrences around
us. It provides us with rationale and justifications for our decisions and actions. All these add to
the improvement of the quality of life that we are living in.

MANILA, Philippines — The COVID-19 global pandemic and the resulting lockdowns to contain
the disease, including in the Philippines, so far inflicted a “brutal blow” on the growing “sharing
economy,” but benefitted the industry of e-commerce in Asean, Malaysian financial giant Maybank
said.
“Lockdowns and quarantines have reduced people mobility, with traffic plunging by as much as
80 percent in Malaysia and the Philippines, and 60 percent in Singapore and Vietnam. Lockdowns
have increased online consumer activity, similar to the SARS episode in 2003, which was a
turning point for China’s e-commerce giants Alibaba and JD.com,” Maybank Kim Eng analysts
Lee Ju Ye and Chua Hak Bin said in an April 20 report titled “Consumer Behavior During a
Pandemic.”
Citing Google’s COVID-19 community mobility reports, usage of retail and recreation facilities
such as restaurants, shopping malls and cinemas plunged 82 percent in the Philippines from Feb.
29 to April 11, compared to the baseline period covering Jan. 3 to Feb. 6.
Also, Filipinos frequented groceries and pharmacies less often, as mobility dropped to 60 percent
during the same period.
Mobility to workplaces declined 67 percent; via transit stations and public transport hubs such as
bus and train stations, down 86 percent; and in parks and beaches, 59 percent.
“Based on data compiled by Google’s COVID-19 community mobile reports, the Philippines and
Malaysia—among the first countries to impose lockdowns—are showing the steepest declines in
people movements,” Maybank said.
Maybank noted that food delivery services had a low penetration rate in Asean—for instance, only
5.5 percent in the Philippines last year, but “with the ban on dine-in services, more food merchants
are signing up with delivery platforms such as GrabFood, Foodpanda and Deliveroo.”
The Philippine government had allowed these food delivery services to continue amid the
enhanced community quarantine imposed in Luzon and other parts of the country, which started
in mid-March and would end by April 30.
The newfound habit of ordering food online or through mobile apps was expected to spill over to
a wider array of goods and services offered on the internet, Maybank said.
“Asean’s e-commerce penetration is relatively low but will likely rise significantly due to COVID-
19. Online sales account for 4 percent in Indonesia and the Philippines, 4.4 percent in Thailand,
4.7 percent in Malaysia and 9 percent in Singapore, based on data from Euromonitor. This is well
below the 30-percent rate in South Korea and China, and 13 percent in the US,” it said.
On the flip side, Maybank said that “the ‘sharing economy’ tech players, after enjoying several
years of generous venture capital funding, will be the worst hit.”
“Bookings on Airbnb have plunged by over 90 percent in some markets, and online searches for
‘Airbnb,’ ‘Booking.com’ and ‘AirAsia’ have fallen to record lows across Asean. Co-working space
is another major casualty, as tenants halt payments and break leases. Ride hailing platforms face
a plunge in ridership, but drivers are shifting to other types of work such as food delivery and
logistics. Grab and Gojek are burning cash to provide financial support to drivers to maintain their
fleet for the ensuing recovery,” it noted.
On a lighter note, while most Filipinos stayed at home during the ongoing lockdown, consumers
mostly searched for food and entertainment as well as details of the government’s social
amelioration program on Google.
From March 18 to April 16, the top Google searches in the Philippines included “Dalgona coffee,”
“SAC (social amelioration card) form,” “Dalgona Milo,” “Netflix mobile plan,” “Vindale research”
(paid surveys at home), “grocery store,” “Goldilocks Bakeshop,” “Minecraft,” and “recipe,”
Maybank noted.
Searches for “masks” and “thermometers” also climbed across Asean since the pandemic started
during the last week of January.

Variables
INTRODUCTION
One of the aspects of research is to describe and explain variable. It is a central concept
of a quantitative research (Faltado et al., 2016). According to Zulueta and Costales, Jr. (2003) a
variable is a characteristic that takes on different values or properties. It is anything that may
assume varied numerical or categorical values to which numerals or values are attached.
According to Kumar (2011), the types of variables can be classified in number of ways.
There are three (3) different ways to classify the variables. These are based on the viewpoint of
(1) causal relationship, (2) study design, and (3) unit of measurement.
For the viewpoint of causal relationship or association, four (4) sets of variables may
operate. These are: (1) change variables or independent variables, (2) outcome/effect variables
or dependent variables, (3) the unmeasured variables affecting the cause-and-effect relationship
are called extraneous variables, and (4) the variable that link a cause-and effect relationship
sometimes called confounding variables or intervening variables.
From the viewpoint of study design, a study that examines association or causation
maybe a controlled/contrived experiment, a quasi-experiment or an ex post facto or non-
experimental study. In controlled experiments the independent (cause) variable may be
introduced or manipulated either by the researcher or by someone else who is providing the
service.
In these situations, there are two (2) sets of variables: (1) active variables – those variables
that can be manipulated, changed or controlled, and (2) attribute variables – those variables that
cannot be manipulated, changed or controlled, and that reflect the study population, for example,
age, gender, education and income.
From the viewpoint of the unit of measurement, there are two (2) ways of categorizing
variables: (1) whether the unit of measurement is categorical (as in nominal and ordinal scales)
or continuous in nature (as in interval and ratio scales); and (2) whether it is qualitative (as in
nominal and ordinal scales) or quantitative (as in interval and ratio scales).
Moreover, there are also three (3) types of categorical variables. These are: (1) constant
variable – has only one category or value, for example taxi, tree and water; (2) dichotomous
variable – has only two categories as in male/female, yes/no, good/bad; and (3) polytomous
variable – can be divided into more than two categories, for example religion (Roman Catholic,
Born Again Christian, Muslim, Hindu), and political parties (Lakas-CMD, LP, Nationalist Party,
NPC, NUP, PDP-Laban).

Due to cross breeding and with the idea of Genetics this led to production of varieties of
plant species. Red rice, brown rice, sticky rice, black rice, angelica, masagana, and

INTRODUCTION
We never run out of problems because life never stops teaching us lessons. These
problems come in different complexities. The positive thinkers’ sense this as an opportunity to
learn more, to do research, create business, and even set a new market trend.
When we are still young, there are a lot of questions in our mind. Our inquisitiveness is
very high that we question whatever pops in our mind. However, as we grow older it seems that
our being inquisitive is lessened. Why is that so? Is it because we are already preoccupied by a
lot of different activities that hampers our learning process and that we also loosen our inspiration
to learn more?
Doing research puts us to a lot of challenges. The first challenge of any researcher is the
identification of a research topic. A research topic or problem is an intellectual stimulus calling
for an answer in the form of scientific inquiry. Topics or problems are general questions about
relations among variables, or characteristics of the phenomenon which a researcher needs to
undertake (Birionet et.al., 2005, p.7 as cited by Faltado et.al., 2016). For this reason, some novice
researchers says, “My problem is a problem”.

3. Compare your answer to your groupmates.
TRANSFER
Note: The idea of this activity was based on Labay (2009) lectures on research.
Remember that research title can be derived from a possible research topic of yours. And
that part is a work in progress. For this activity, have a group consultation with your selected
research group. And with reference to the following example, write and propose quantitative
research title that you will research on. Please consider two (2) variables that will be tested or
compared.
According to Abregana (1996) a potential research problem arises when these three (3)
conditions exist:
1. A perceived discrepancy between what is and what should be
2. A question about why the discrepancy
3. At least two (2) or more possible and plausible answers to the question that could be obtained
from readings, interviews, etc.
Example:
Problematic Situation: The Tres Reyes Island has been found out with “good” areas of corals
that support its diverse marine resources, preferably fish. But for the last five (5) months, it
showed that the people in the area had no fish to catch.
Discrepancy: The fisherman of the islands should have fish to catch, but all had no to fish catch.
Problem Question: What are the factors responsible for the absence of fish catch?
Plausible Answer:
Note that out of the plausible answers given, the researcher can be easily guided in making the
researchable problems. The following researchable problems or research titles can be deduced:
1. An analysis of the attitudes and activities of the people residing in Tres Reyes Islands
2. Chemical analysis of the heavy metals in the waters of Tres Reyes Islands
3. Assessment of the present status of corals in Tres Reyes Islands

Sources of Research Topics or Problems
The following are the things that may be considered before starting the research activity:
1. Prevailing theories or philosophy
2. Observations, intuitions, or a combination of both
3. Different subjects taken and from them identify a problem that interests a student-
researcher most
4. Fields of interest or specialization or event from related fields
5. Existing problems in the classroom/school/campus/university which one may want to
solve are good sources of research problems

Selecting the Research Topic
In choosing a research problem. Be guided by the following criteria:
1. It should be something new or different from what has already been written about.
2. It must be original.
3. It should be significant to the field of study or discipline.
4. It must necessarily arouse intellectual curiosity.
5. It should be of researcher’s interest and researcher must be with the topic.
6. It should be a modest one for a beginner to be carried on within a limited period.
7. It should be clear, not ambiguous.
8. It should be specific, not general.
9. It should consider the training and personal qualifications of the researcher.
10. It should consider the availability of data involved in the study and the methods and
techniques to be employed in gathering them.
11. It should consider the availability of effective instruments for gathering the data and their
treatment.
12. It should consider the financial capacity of the researcher to support the project.
13. It should consider the time factor involved in the undertaking.
The researcher must settle first the problem of selecting the problem to research on. The
following may be considered as basis for selecting the problem: technical and personal.
INTRODUCTION
Different learning and research institutions have different titles and part of Chapter 1 of a
research paper. For some, the title of Chapter 1 is “The Problem”. While for others it is “The
Problem and It’s Background”. And for some it is “Introduction and Review of Related Literature”.
Thus, in this Practical Research 2 subject, you will simply entitle it as “Introduction”.
Chapter 1 includes parts such as Background of the Study, Statement of the Problem,
Theoretical Framework, Conceptual Framework, Significance of the Study, Research Hypothesis,
and Scope and Delimitation of the Study. In relation to the suggested competencies of the Most
Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) of the Department of Education (DepEd), this lesson
exemplar presents lecture and activities relevant to Background of the Study, Statement of the
Problem, and Scope and Delimitation of the Study.
It is an accepted fact that the starting point of any research paper is considered as the
most challenging part. Novice writer cannot easily decipher what is to be written at the very start
of writing his/her research paper. The most difficult part among these starts with the identification
and definition of the research problem. While there are some guidelines in the selection and
narrowing down of problem, often, these are only based on interest, skills or workability.
The Background of the Study is a brief rationale to justify the problem. It presents
statement of knowledge regarding the problem. It answers the questions such as: What facets
of the problem (phenomenon) are known and what needs further investigation? What approaches
have been used previously in research to answer the problem?
1. discussion of the problem in general and the specific situations as observed and
experienced by the researcher (macro to micro approach);
2. concepts and ideas related to the problem including clarification of important
terminologies; and
3. discussion of the existing or present conditions and what is aimed to be in the future or
the gap to be filled-in by the research.
While, the Statement of the Problem refers to the basic difficulty, the issue, the area of
concern, and the circumstances that exist, then, and how they ought to be. It tells what is done
to make the situation exists more like what it should be. It exposes anything that is wrong with
the situation, condition or circumstance which is being described.
There are two (2) main parts of statement of the problem. These include the main
problem and the specific or sub-problems. The main problem usually tells problem situation
and the objective of the study. This is usually stated in declarative form. While the specific
problems present research question or investigative problem. These are stated in interrogative
form. These are specific questions which are to be answered in the study. The answer to these
research questions may lead to the solution of the research problem.
Furthermore, in writing Scope and Delimitation of the Study one should start with scope
first before limitations. The scope describes the coverage of the study. It specifies what is
covered in terms of concepts, number of subjects or the population included in the study, as well
as the timeline when the study was conducted. While, delimitation cites the factors or variables
that are not to be included and the boundary in terms of time frame, number of subjects,
participants or respondents who are excluded. It specifies which will not be dealt within the study.
Faltado, et al. (2016) cited that this section discusses the parameters of the research in
paragraph. It answers the basic questions:

CONCLUDING STATEMENT
To end this sixth lesson, let me share to you these concluding statements:
“It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready, I have this feeling now that
actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is
only NOW.” – James Hugh Calum Laurie
“The time is right, right now stop waiting and start doing.” - PICTUREQUOTES.com
“Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere” –
Anne Lamott (American novelist and non-fiction writer. Author of Bird by Bird: Some Instructions
on Writing and Life)
“I write at eighty-five for the same reason that impelled me to write at forty-five; I was born
with a passionate desire to communicate, to organize experience, to tell tales that dramatize the
adventures which readers might have had. I have been that ancient man who sat by the campfire
at night and regaled the hunters with imaginative recitations about their prowess. The job of an
apple tree is to bear apples. The job of a storyteller is to tell stories, and I have concentrated on
that obligation.” - James Michner (The World is My Home cited in the Stainless Longganisa by
Bob Ong, 2005 page 43)

A dummy paper output presented during the National Training of Trainers for SHS Teachers on
School-based Research at Tanza, Cavite
May 17 – 23, 2018
Cavite is a province in the Philippines located on the southern shores of Manila Bay in the
CALABARZON Region on Luzon Island. It is situated just 21 km south of Manila with seven (7)
component cities, 16 municipalities and 829 barangays situated in its’ seven (7) districts (General
Information Archived of Cavite, 2012).
According to Physical and Natural Resources Archived of Cavite (2011), the shoreline of
Cavite stretches about 123 km. Communities located along the coast of Cavite City, Bacoor,
Kawit, Noveleta, Rosario, Tanza, Naic, Maragondon,Tarnate and Binakayan are coastal
resources. These are the major producers of shrimp, bangus, oyster and green mussels locally
known as tahong (Perna viridis) in Cavite. Thus, fishing industry contributes to the economic
activity of the city and the province.
Furthermore, dried tahong has quickly gain market penetration. Yarbes (2014) mentioned
that it has implemented a unique and effective competitive advantage of having a product
selection that caters to diverse market segments, and supporting the product selection with
excellent customer service, allowing customers from different demographic to feel equally and get
the new idea of creating such product.
Dried tahongs are being sold in the local wet markets along coastal communities of the
aforementioned city and municipalities of Cavite. However, existing problems on proper handling
of the dried tahong specifically on packaging is obviously observed. This may affect the consumer
acceptability of the said product which is the concern of the current study. Thus, the relationship
on the consumer’s perception and acceptability on packaging of dried tahong in the major local
wet markets in a city and eight (8) municipalities of Cavite is being investigated in this research.
Statement of the Problem
The main objective of the study is to determine consumer’s perception and acceptability
on packaging of dried green mussels locally known as tahong (Perna viridis) in the major local
wet markets along the nine (9) coastal communities found in a city and eight (8) municipalities of
Cavite, Region IVA (CALABARZON).
1. What is the consumers’ perception on the packaging of dried green mussels in the
local markets of Cavite?
2. What is the consumers’ acceptability on the packaging of dried green muscles in the
local markets of Cavite?
3. Is there any significant relationship between the consumer’s perception and
acceptability on packaging of dried green mussels in the local markets of Cavite?
The study primarily focuses on testing any significant relationship between consumer’s
perception and acceptability on packaging of dried green mussels or tahong (Perna viridis) from
the major local wet markets in the nine (9) coastal communities of Cavite. These communities
are found in Cavite City, Bacoor, Kawit, Noveleta, Rosario, Tanza, Naic, Maragondon, and
Tarnate only. This study, however, does not aim in determining vendor’s perception,
acceptability, productivity, and profitability levels on dried tahong.
In addition, the 180 consumers whose age ranges from 25 to 75 years from the local wet
markets of the city and municipalities of Cavite buying dried green mussels or tahong served as
the respondents of this study. The gender and educational qualifications of the respondents were
not considered in this research.
Quota sampling was applied in this research. Hence, the result of the analysis is limited
and true only to the determined sample size in this study and will never be generalized to the
entire population
The data from this research were also based from the respondents’ answers to a
researcher-made survey questionnaire instrument only. These quantitative data were gathered
during February 14 to May 14, 2018 and subjected to statistical treatment.

INTRODUCTION
There are three (3) different topics which were covered by this lesson exemplar. This
includes discussions on conceptual framework, research hypothesis, and definition of terms. All
of these were combined in one presentation as there is common connection which can be
perceived as you go over learning about all these topics.
A theoretical framework can be thought as a map or travel plan (Sinclair, 200 as cited
by Faltado, et al., 2016). Different theories supporting the current research study are presented
in theoretical framework. It provides a general representation of relationships between things in
each phenomenon.
The conceptual framework on the other hand provides an idea on how the research
problem will have to be explored. It embodies the detailed and specific direction by which the
research will have to be undertaken. The operationalization of variables to be observed in the
current study, the concepts defined in a way the researcher wants to study, the visible indicators,
and the scheme of measuring such variables are presented in a conceptual framework (Zulueta
and Costales, Jr., 2003).
(4) Interactional System (IS) Model – This picture the organization as an interactional
system in the research or study.
The common symbols used in drawing out research paradigm are the following:
1. Box – It contains the variables which normally answers the questions in the
statement of the problem which needs descriptive analysis.
4. Connector line – It connects with one variable with another but does not necessarily
mean that the variables will be subjected to statistical procedure.
In this subject, we will disregard writing theoretical framework and focus more on writing
conceptual framework and its paradigm based on the presented MELCs for PR 2. Examples will
be given as attachment in this lesson exemplar.
After the presentation of conceptual framework is the statement of the problem which was
discussed in the previous lesson exemplar. It is preceded by the presentation of research
hypothesis which is dependent on the statement of the problem.
And lastly the definition of terms which is included in this discussion is presented after
the review of related literature. This section of research includes important or key terms that
should be substantially and clearly defines to how they are used in the study in order to facilitate
understanding of the problem and avoid ambiguous meaning to terms which can be otherwise
interpreted in different ways.
There are different ways to define terms. Two (2) of the common categories are definition
by (1) operational and (2) conceptual or lexical. Operational definition express the meaning of the
terms as used in a particular field or study while conceptual definition is usually taken from the
dictionary. It carries a universal meaning easily understood by people. But among this two, the
most used and expressed are the operational definition of terms.
The terms defined should be arranged in alphabetical order and acronyms should always
be spelled out fully, especially if it is not commonly known or if used for the first time.

INTRODUCTION
In reviewing and writing literature, consider 5C’s. These are Cite, Compare, Contrast,
Critique, and Connect.
To cite is by keeping on the primary focus on the literature,
To compare the various arguments, theories, methodologies, approaches, and/ or
findings expressed in the literature. (What did the authors agree on? Who employed
similar approaches? What are their findings?),
To contrast the various arguments, themes, methodologies, approaches, and
controversies expressed in the literature. (What are the areas of major disagreement,
controversy, or debate?),
To critique the literature. Pay attention to the verbs you use to describe on what the author
says or does. (Which argument is more persuasive and why? Which approach, finding or
methodology seem the most reliable, valid, or appropriate and why?), and
To connect the literature to your own research area. (How does your own work draw on
or depart from the reviewed literature?)
Bottom Line: Review of related literature is a discursive prose and not simply describing and
summarizing what has been read and written.
Sarno (2010) as cited by Faltado, et al. (2016) enumerated the different characteristics of
the literature and studies to be cited in the present study:

Process Questions:
A sample part of literature review is shown below. Examine and analyze this literature by
identifying the error and revise through applying necessary corrections.
In general, rice is known to be a staple food in Taiwan. The Taiwan Council of Agriculture states
that there were originally no indigenous species of rice from Taiwan. Rice cultivation and
technology was brought into Taiwan before the Qing Era. Shortly after, the Indica rice became
the most productive and efficiently grown rice grain, especially because of the ample construction
of water reservoirs near rice fields during the Japanese colonial period.
Process Questions:
1. What is your general impression about the presented review of literature example?
2. What needs to be corrected in the above literature?
3. What is your rationale for correcting the cited error in an example literature review?
4. Did you experience similar errors or mistakes when you write review of related literature
for the first time? What did you do then?
Note: The above example is full of unjustified claims and brings up several questions like how
did the author know all this? And where was the information taken from? Remember, no matter
what the claim and information, you must cite the reference. No reference for information like the
example above means it may be considered as plagiarism.
FIRM-UP
1. Match the different types of literature review to its description shown below.
2. Compare your answer to your other classmates.
Type 2. The purpose is to systematically examine past events to give an account of what has
happened in the past. It is not a mere accumulation of facts and dates or even a description of
past events. It is a flowing, dynamic account of past events which involves an interpretation of
these events in an attempt to recapture the nuances, personalities, and ideas that influenced
these events. The main focus on this is to communicate an understanding of past events.
Type 3. This is considered a form of research that reviews, critiques, and synthesizes
representative literature on a topic in an integrated way such that new frameworks and
perspectives on the topic are generated. The body of literature includes all studies that address
related or identical hypotheses or research problems. A well-done integrative review meets the
same standards as primary research in regard to clarity, rigor, and replication. This is the most
common form of review in the social sciences.
Type 4. A review does not always focus on what someone said but how they came about (method
of analysis). Reviewing methods of analysis provides a framework of understanding at different
levels (i.e. those of theory, substantive fields, research approaches, and data collection and
analysis techniques), how researchers draw upon a wide variety of knowledge ranging from the
conceptual level to practical documents for use in fieldwork in the areas of ontological and
epistemological consideration, quantitative and qualitative integration, sampling, interviewing,
data collection, and data analysis. This approach helps highlight ethical issues which you should
be aware of and consider as you go through your own study.
Type 5. The purpose is to attain conclusion regarding the chosen topic. This form consists of an
overview of existing evidence pertinent to a clearly formulated research question, which uses pre-
specified and standardized methods to identify and critically appraise relevant research, and to
collect, report, and analyze data from the studies that are included in the review.
Type 6. The purpose is to attain conclusion regarding the chosen topic. This form consists of an
overview of existing evidence pertinent to a clearly formulated research question, which uses pre-
specified and standardized methods to identify and critically appraise relevant research, and to
collect, report, and analyze data from the studies that are included in the review.
Type 7. The purpose of this form is to examine the body of theory that has accumulated about
an issue, concept, theory, phenomena. This review helps to establish what theories already exist,
the relationships between them, to what degree the existing theories have been investigated, and
to develop new hypotheses to be tested. Often this form is used to help establish a lack of
appropriate theories or reveal that the current theories are inadequate for explaining new or
emerging research problems. The unit of analysis can focus on a theoretical concept or a whole
theory or framework.
Process Questions:
1. What text clues from the definition that you read, led you to classify the type of literature?
2. Are text clues important in finding related literature for your research? Why?

CONCLUDING STATEMENT
To end this eighth lesson, let me share to you these concluding statements:
“The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your
reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish” – Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) (Scottish
novelist, poet, essayist and travel writer. His famous works are Treasure Island, Child’s Garden
of Verse, Catriona, and The Black Arrow)
“The man who doesn’t read good books has no advantage over the man who can’t read
them” – Mark Twain (1835-1910) (Mark Twain is a penname for Samuel Langhorne Clemens. He
is an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher and lecturer. Among his novel are The
Adventure of Tom Sawyer, 1876 and its sequel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,1885)

School-based Research at Tanza, Cavite

In the study of Haamer (2002), a method and device for cooking and vacuum packing
mussels with their shell and other foodstuffs by microwave heating so that they can be stored as
chilled or frozen goods for an extended period. In his study, he further cited that when mussels
are vacuum packed, many of the shells often break, and moreover the subsequent cooking in
water is too slow for the mussel meat to coagulate satisfactorily.
Thus, the invention solves this problem by packing the product to be preserved, in the
first-place mussels, in a somewhat flexible plastic container which is sealed. On the topside of the
container there is a venting hole which permits the escape of steam during boiling, but which is
sealed immediately as microwave heating ceases, whereupon a vacuum arises inside the
container as the steam condenses. A vacuum-packed and pasteurized product is thus obtained
in one and the same operation
However, it has been a practice in the coastal towns of Cavite that the dried green mussels
are just displayed in the local wet markets without good packaging. These are bought by the kilo
wrapped in an old newspaper or in an ordinary plastic. As researchers, the need to feel and hear
the consumer’s perception and acceptability on packaging of dried green mussels or tahong
(Perna viridis) is deemed necessary considering the impact of technology development on
packaging to the marketing of the product.
The main theme this research deals on the relationship of consumer’s perception and
acceptability on packaging of dried green mussels or tahong (Perna viridis) from the major local
wet markets of Cavite. Situated at the entrance of Manila Bay, Cavite is characterized by rolling
hinterlands punctuated by hills; shoreline fronting Manila Bay at sea level; and rugged portion at
the boundary with Batangas where the Dos Picos mountains are located.
Argamni (2016) mentioned that in the Philippines abounds the, Perna viridis or tahong
which is considered as one of the seven (7) major aquaculture species. Moreover, Aquaculture
of tahong can be traced back to 1955 which was initiated by the Philippine Bureau of Fisheries
and Aquatic Resources in Binakayan, Cavite (Food and Agricultural Organization, 2006; Yap,
1999).
Drawing from the article of Yap (1999), the farming of mussels started 20 years after, in
1955 when the Bureau of Fisheries oyster farming station in Binakayan, Kawit, Cavite established
a 300 m2 demonstration mussel farm. Prior to this the green mussels (Perna viridis) which were
regarded by the oyster farmers as pests was realized by fisheries personnel as potentials species,
a primary crop and decided to put up the demonstration farm. With a ready market in Manila it did
not take long for the green mussel industry to grow.
During the late 1960s, Mr. Santos B. Rasalan then Commissioner of the Phillippine
Fisheries Commission (as the Bureau of Fisheries became known at the time) reported of buying
green mussel stocks from Thailand and replanted these in the fisheries demonstration farm.
Therefore, it can be noted on the context of research setting, the place of Cavite is a potential
venue to conduct the study since the place has sources of green mussels.
Synthesis
In the light of foregoing review on related literature and studies on green mussels (Perna
viridis), it was found out that there were already research studies on the culture, acceptability, and
development of the said product. These were concentrated on areas of Cavite which even
extended to the areas in Western Visayas where culturing of green muscles and product
development is being done. However, no research study on the perception and acceptability
specifically on the packaging of the products and by-products of green muscles concentrating on
consumers’ point of view were not established. Hence, the concern of the current research that
will specifically focus on the possible relationship on perception and acceptability that in the long
run will eventually affect the marketing of dried tahong product.
