RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

*Don’t forget citation in all your definition of terms.

*Always state your purpose in all of the methods/designs used in your study

Research Design

This study used the experimental research design. Experimental research seeks to

determine a relationship between two variables, the dependent variable and the independent

variable. The general purpose of the study is to determine the level of acceptability of the

Squash leche flan as to taste, texture, aroma, price, and packaging.

Sampling Design- who and how many are your respondents (how are they selected). Define
the sampling method used and state purpose

The study covers the General Managers, Employees and Guests of hotels around

Metro Dagupan as the respondents of the study. Based on that, 5 hotels were chosen without

any specific consideration of hotels’ features. There were 2 hotel general managers, 11

employees, and 111 hotel guests who completed the survey forms from the 2nd to the 23rd

day of May in 2021. The study made use of Purposive and Convenience sampling methods to

gather data. In Purposive sampling, subjects are selected based on study purpose with the

expectation that each participant will provide unique and rich information of value to the study.

The method was used to collect information from Hotel General Managers and Employees.

Whilst, Convenience sampling is about selecting subjects that are more readily accessible, thus,

opportunity to participate is not equal for all qualified individuals in the target population and

study results are not necessarily generalizable to the population, this method was utilized for

the data collection from the hotel guest.

6
Instrumentation and Data Collection (be detailed)

The study made use of online survey forms as the data gathering instrument. The

questionnaire was composed of several closed and open-ended questions set out to create a

conditional type of questionnaire. Survey forms consisted of two parts, part 1 included the

personal information, which consist of name, age, and gender. The second part involves

filtering or conditional questions that are intended to determine the level of importance of cyber

security in the Hospitality Industry. Questionnaires were made based on some of the previous

articles and works regarding network security issues in hotels and hospitality industry.

Additionally, the participation was absolutely voluntary and the interviewees were free not to

answer any of the questions they did not want to. The answers to the interview questions were

recorded through google forms and later on were examined and analyzed for the completion of

the study.

Tools for Data Analysis

The study will use the following tools for data analysis: Percentage Formula and

Weighted Mean Formula

Define tools used and state your purpose of using the following tools.

Percentage

Percentage is used to express numbers between zero and one. It is used to compare

things and used in ratios. It is denoted by the symbol %. Percentage method was used to

analyze parts of the questionnaire that requires profiling such are the age and gender of the

respondents.

The percentage formula is:

%= f ÷ n x 100

7
Where:

f= number of frequencies

n= total number of respondents

Weighted Mean Formula

Weighted mean is a type of mean that is calculated by multiplying the weight associated

with a particular event or outcome with its associated quantitative outcome and then summing

all the products together (Corporate Finance Institute, 2019).

Weighted mean will be used to evaluate and compare the levels of acceptability of the

two products in terms of appearance, taste, texture, aroma, and general acceptability.

Formula:

WM= TWM/N

WM= Weighted Mean

TWM= Total of the products of weights multiplied by their respective frequencies

N= Number of respondents

Five-point Likert Scale

Define what is Likert scale and your purpose of using this scale.

The 5-point Likert scale used pertinent to the price acceptability of Squash Leche Flan

with the corresponding descriptive equivalents and interpretation:

Scale Statistical Descriptive Descriptive Interpretation

Limits Equivalents
5 4.50 - 5.00 Highly Acceptable An indicator that the price
(HA) acceptability of Squash Leche Flan
is highly acceptable
4 3.50 - 4.49 Acceptable An indicator that the price
(A) acceptability of Squash Leche Flan

8
 is acceptable
3 2.50 - 3.49 Moderately An indicator that the price
Acceptable acceptability of Squash Leche Flan
(MA) is moderately acceptable
2 1.50 - 2.49 Slightly An indicator that the price
Acceptability (SA) acceptability of Squash Leche Flan
is slightly acceptable
1 1.00 - 1.49 Not Acceptable An indicator that the price
(NA) acceptability of Squash Leche Flan
is not acceptable
