26-27. ______________________________________

The majority of the literature on school violence has been compiled using quantitative data gathered from
student self-reports and statistics of violent incidences occurring in and around schools. Qualitative
studies have the potential to provide a deeper understanding of the experiences, values and beliefs of both
school professionals and students. In order to develop effective preventive programs, it is necessary to
understand how the school violence construct is defined and how risk and protective factors are
perceived. However, only a few studies examined the issue of school violence through qualitative
methodology. This study is designed as a qualitative case study with a typical sampling method. The
setting for the study is a school, which is run by a non-profit organization. The majority of the students
are coming from middle-class families, the majority of which are working at state organizations. A total
of 27 teachers, 1 administrator, and 125 students from the grades 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, voluntarily participated
in the study. Data were collected through open-ended questions. Data were transferred into a digital
environment and were analyzed by content analysis with frequencies.

28-29. ______________________________________

A semi-structured qualitative interview was used to conduct research about why students did not graduate high
school. The sample for this study included seven adult participants who did not graduate high school.
Participants were chosen based on the criteria of being over 18, not graduating high school or receiving a
traditional high school diploma. Non-probability sampling was used to find the participants. Convenience and
snowball techniques were utilized to find participants that did not graduate high school. Participants from this
study were volunteers from the community who responded to copies of a flyer (see Appendix A) that were
posted on community boards in General Education Development (GED) testing sites. Participants were also
garnered through word of mouth by teachers, school social workers, and members of the community who know
of persons over 18 who did not graduate on time.

30-31. _______________________________________

The research will take place at Valencia National High School located at Valencia City, Bukidnon. It is a
secondary public school with a population of 340 grade 11 students, the ones who will participate in the study.

32-33. _______________________________________

Samples will be taken from grade 11 students and teachers. Opportunistic sampling will be used to select
respondents as researchers will only gather the participants that are available during the data gathering process.
Data gathering will take 3 weeks from the 1st week of January up to the last week of the month. Interview
materials will be the main data gathering instrument to be used. The researcher will use semi-structured
interview so that the researcher can freely give follow up questions.
34-35. ________________________________________

This study proves the strong potentials of having phones as supplement learning tools to class discussions.
Phones can maximize the learning capacity of the students by allowing them to leaf through information and
note-taking. Most of the students have thought it beneficial and have positive effects in their academic
performance and such was proven by the rejection of the null hypothesis and acceptance of the alternative
hypothesis. However, through this research also, it was found out that even if most of the students believe in its
potentials, they too know that there are risks or disadvantages on its usage such as distraction, bullying, and
possible cheating. Therefore, the use of phones may be beneficial but it has its disadvantages as well. Its actual
usage needs optimum control coming from the side of the student, teacher, and school administration.

B. For 36-40, read the research abstract below then highlight the recommendation of the study using
colored pen to get 5 points.

Homework is a key element of schooling across contemporary system in the local school context. However,
debates about its value and efficiency are ongoing. Proponents of homework promote its numerous benefits for
learning and achievements while critics challenge the merit of homework and its detrimental impact to students
learning. The responses revealed that most of the students were able to benefit from homework and thus
achievement. In regard to this, the researchers were able to conduct survey to Grade 11 students. Overall
evidence from current research and literature shows homework at the Senior High School specifically the Grade
11 students generally has a positive impact on academic achievement and learning. The purpose of this study
was assessing intervention method of school which is the homework if it is effective when it comes to students’
achievements of Grade 11 students. Success was measured after figure and graphs were identified by the
researchers. To better this research, it is hoped that a quasi-experimental design would be used to see whether
there is a difference between the academic performance of students who have homework and those who don’t
have homework. Furthermore, it is suggested that more participants will be included to make the study more
certain.
