METHODS

This chapter explains the research design, research locale, respondents,

research instruments, data collection procedure and the data analysis method.

Research Design

In the view of the nature of the research problem, the research work will

adopt descriptive design. It is a method designed to gather information about the

Impact of level of Gender Equality awareness to senior high school students.

Furthermore, this design aims to accurately, and systematically describe a

population, situation or phenomenon of the students to what are their opinion about

gender equality awareness . It will be used to develop theories, identify problems

with current practices, justify current practices, make Judgments or determine other

practices in similar situations . This includes survey methods in which the students

would answer research questions that will be used to describe the characteristics of a

population.

Research Locale

The research work "Impact of Level of Gender Equality Awareness to

the Academic Performance of Senior High School Students" will be

conducted in Telbang National High School, Telbang Alaminos City, Pangasinan

during the S.Y. 2023-2024.

Respondents

The respondents of this research work were the Senior High School of

Telbang National High school.

The research will use random sampling in choosing the respondents. The

respondents will be population size from 382 Senior High School students with the

sample size of 196 respondents.

 To determine the sample size of respondents from the Senior High School

Students of Telbang National High School, the research will use Yamane’s Formula

with desired margin error of 0.05%.

Yamane’s Formula:

N
S=
1+ Ne ²

Where:

S = sample size of respondents

N = total number of students

e = desired margin error (0.05)

Research Instruments

This research work will use questionnaire as the main tool in gathering data

analysis as part of data collection instruments of the study. A questionnaire is a

document prepared by the researchers containing a set of questions necessary to

acquire the data/ information. The questionnaire will be the main instrument to be

prepared, distributed and failed out by the respondents under the supervision of the

researchers.
 The respondents were asked to fill out the questionnaire by placing

checks/marks to easily answer the questions.

Collection Procedure

In the research work, in order to come up with sound results and findings,

the procedures will use in gathering data are the following:

Data Analysis Method

To determine the sample size of the respondents from the Senior High School

Students of Telbang National High school, the researchers will use Yamane's Formula

with desired margin of .05%

Yamane’s Formula:

N
n=
1+ N (e)²

Where:

n = sample size of respondents

N = total number of students

e = desired margin error (0.05)

In order arrive at the interpretation and evaluation of the data gather, the

researchers will use statistical tools.

The statistical formula below will be utilized by the researchers for the

analysis of the different problems stated in the study.

The data to be collected from the researchers questions (1-4) will be analyzd

with the use of Frequency and Percentage. To find the frequency, the researchers

count the number of times that the independent variables obtained in the given

research indicators respectively.

The formula of the statistical tools which will use was stated below.

• Frequency Count- this statistical tool will use to determine the more frequent

occurring rate in the different indicators. This tool identified the different indicators

as shown in the problem.

• Percentage- this statistical tool will use to determine the relationship indicators in

it's relation to the whole.

Formula for Percentage:

f
x 100 %
×

Where:

f = represent the frequency

x = represents the number of populations

To test gender equality awareness to the academic performance among

senior high school students, the researchers will use the Pearson's R correlation

coefficient and T-test correlated samples statistical tool, and weighted mean as

support. In this process, hypothesis will use determined if accepted or rejected. To

accomplish this, researchers will use the formula below.

Pearson’s R Correlation Coefficient

Where:

r = correlation coefficient

x i= values of the x- variable in a sample

x =mean of the values of the x-variable

Y i= values of the y-variable in a sample

y = mean of the values of the y- variable

X Y (x-X) (y -Y) (x-X)(y-Y) (x-X)2 (y-Y)2

  To get SP = (X- X̅ )(Y-Y̅ )

 To get SSx = add all the (X-X̅ )2

 To get SSy = add all the (Y-Y̅ )2

The Pearson's R Correlation Coefficient will be used a 0.05 level of

significance to determine the research hypothesis' acceptance or rejection.

Cochran’s Formula

Where:

n – total number of frequency

N – population size

e – acceptable sampling error

p – the population proportions

z – z value at reliability level or significant level

T-tests for correlated samples

D = difference of 1st and 2nd variable

n – number of sample size

∑ D = sum of difference of 1

X Y X–Y x2

To find D = x – y

To find ∑ D 2 = ∑ (x – y)²

The T-score table was used with a 0.05 level of significance to determine the

research hypothesis acceptance or rejection.
