RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter includes the method of research, population, sample size and sampling

techniques, description of respondents, research instruments, data-gathering procedure

and statistical treatment of data.

Method of Research

The study will use the descriptive method of research. It is concern primarily in

obtaining accurate description of the phenomena under review. Descriptive research

describes and interprets the present. “What is.” It reveals conditions on relationships that

exist or do not exist, effects that are being felt or trends that develop. (Salvador, Baysa &

Geronimo, 2008).

The descriptive research method will include data gathering that will describe events

and then organizes, tabulates, depicts and describes the data collected through graphs and

charts to support the reader in understanding the data distribution. This method will enable

the researchers to interpret the theoretical meaning of the findings and hypothesis

development for further studies.

Population, Sample Size, and Sampling Techniques

The population of study will include the three section of the Grade 11 HUMSS Senior

High School with the total of 150 at Polytechnic University of the Philippines.

The researchers will determine the sample size by using the Slovins formula;
 POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES

Where n = sample size

N = total population
e = margin of error (0.05)

Respondents of the Study

The respondents of this study are the among Grade 11 Humanities and Social

Sciences Students (HUMSS) of Polytechnic University of the Philippines for the School

Year 2017-2018.Specifically, 4 sections will be used to conduct the study.

Research Instrument

The survey questionnaires will use as the main data-gathering instrument for this

study.

The Likert survey is the selected questionnaire type as this enable the respondents

to answer the survey easily. In addition, this research instrument allows the researchers to

carry out the quantitative approach effectively with the used of statistics for data

interpretation. In order to test the validity of the questionnaire use for the study, the

researcher’s pilot will test the questionnaire to five respondents. These respondents as well

as their answers are not parts of the actual study process and are only used for testing

purposes. After the questions have been answered, the researchers will ask the

respondents for any suggestions or any necessary corrections to ensure further

improvement and validity of the instrument. The researcher will revise the survey

questionnaires based on the supervision of the research adviser. The researchers then
 POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES

excluded irrelevant questions and changed vague of difficult terminologies into simpler

ones in order to ensure comprehension.

The five point Likert was used to interpret items in the questionnaire. These

responses were based on the respondents’ assessment of the use Historical segments in

Philippine Television in Grade Eleven HUMSS students in teaching Philippine Politics and

Governance particularly in Philippine Politics and Governance. The range and interpretation

of the five-point scale were shown in Table 1.

Table 1. The Five-point Likert Scale

Scale Range Interpretation

5 4.20- 5.00 Highly Effective

4 3.40 – 4.19 Very Effective

3 2.60 – 3.39 Effective

2 1.80 – 2.59 Ineffective

1 1.0 – 1.79 Highly Ineffective

Data-Gathering Procedure

The researchers made set of questions about the effectiveness and of the said topic

and will distribute the questionnaires to the selected HUMSS students of Polytechnic

University of the Philippines.

The survey will be conducted during the second semester of the academic year

2017-2018. Senior High School students. Survey will be disseminated after the

corresponding school administration acknowledged permission. The survey will be

conducted to 4 sections of HUMSS in Polytechnic University of the Philippines. The results

will be tallied and tabulated according to the frequency of the items checked by the

respondents. After all the data to be tabulated, results will be interpreted using various

statistical tools.

Statistical Treatment of Data

The data to be collected in this study are subjected to certain statistical treatments.

The data will be coded, tallied and tabulated for better presentation and interpretation of the

results. The statistical methods used were the following:

1. Frequency and Percentage

The percentage and frequency distributions are used to classify the respondents

according to their age, sex, civil status, educational attainment, employment status, present

designation/position, number of years in the company. The frequency also presented the

actual response of the respondents to a specific question or item in the questionnaires.

 POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES

The percentage of each item was computed by dividing it with the sample total

number of respondents who answered the survey. The formula used in the application of

this technique was:

Where:

% = percentage

f = frequency

n = number of cases or total sample

2. Weighted Mean

Weighted mean was used to measure the general response of the samples whether

they agreed to a given statement or not.

\The formula in computing weighted mean was:

f- weight given to each response

x- number of responses

xn – total number of responses

3. Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient

Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient was used for investigating the relationship between

two quantities and continuous variables.

The formula in computing Person’s Correlation Coefficient was:

 POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES

Where:

r = Pearson’s Correlation

N = number of paired scores

ΣXY = sum of the products of paired scores

ΣX = sum of X scores

ΣY = sum of Y scores

Σx2 = sum of squared of X scores

Σy2 = sum of squared of Y scores

Statistical Package for Social Sciences or SPSS is used to compute for the mean

and Pearson r Correlation. SPSS is a comprehensive system for analyzing data. SPSS can

take data from almost any type of file and use them to generate, tabulate reports, chart and

plots of distributions and trends descriptive statistics and complex statistical analysis.
