METHODOLOGY

This chapter presents the research design, research locale, participants of the
study, data collection procedure, research instruments, ethical consideration, and data
analysis.

Research Design

In this Study,the researchers employed the descriptive and qualitative design of research because it is

nearly related to its purpose and concern.

Descriptive research is the research design in which data is collected in a qualitative

manner and analyzed using quantitative procedures (Nassaji, 2015). Descriptive
research refers to the scientific methodology in which observation of the sampled
population is carried out in its natural surrounding.

Qualitative research is exploratory or interrogative research and tries to get “under

the surface”. “ The aim is to gather insights into how people live; what they do; how they
use things; or what they need in their everyday or professional lives.“ ( Government
Design Service Manual, 2016)

Qualitative research is a holistic approach that involves discovery. Qualitative research

is also described as an unfolding model that occurs in a natural setting that enables the
researcher to develop a level of detail from high involvement in the actual experiences
(Creswell, 1994).

learing,especially in this Pandemic Period. Second; the reason why the researchers
chose the Grade 12 students is because they are confident to answer all the questions
that researchers have and they have an idea about visual learning . Third, they wish to
pass on essential knowledge to the next generation, who will require the data for
assignments, projects, and as a source of additional research.

Data Collection Procedures

A letter seeking information coming from the principal Mr.Danny L. Bilale to

administer interview was handed to him personally. Interview questions were distributed

personally to the ten Selected students of HUMSS strands in Lemery Colleges.

The researchers went to different libraries and different websites to gather references or

resources that will fit to the current research. The information or data gathered were

Ethical Considerations

It is imperative that ethical issues are considered during the formulation of the

evaluation plan. Ethical consideration during evaluation include:

• Data Privacy Act

personal, or sensitive. It is meant to cover both natural and juridical persons involved in
the processing of personal information.

most human subjects research requires signed documentation of consent, subject

anonymity is not as common in human subjects research.

•Informed Consent

one of the founding principles of research ethics. Its intent is that human participants
can enter research freely (voluntarily) with full information about what it means for them
to take part, and that they give consent before they enter the research.

• Data Analysis

Frequency counting was used for clearer interpretation and presentation of data
gathered regarding the perceptions of students on online education as a way to help
them.

This study was interpreted using the percentage formula only on the demographic
profile of the respondents as it is included in the research.

The formula was:

P= f × 100

where:

P=percentage

f=frequency

N= number of students

100= constant term

Other data gathered in this research were presented in a narrative form because
this study adapted IMRAD format (Qualitative Research Design). Moreover, it is
expected to use verbal expressions or language in presenting the data gathered
throughout the research
