IV. Scope and Limitation

This research will be concerned with the evaluation and assessment of the practices of multi-grade teachers.
This study will aim to evaluate the level of competence of multi-grade teachers along different factors. The
respondents of this research will be the multi-grade teachers of Mallig District, Schools Division of Isabela, SY
2021-2022.

V. Research Methodology

The study used the descriptive-correlational method of research and a multi-stage sampling was
employed as a sample scheme. The main instrument used in the generation of data was a survey questionnaire
purposively done by the researcher with the consultation of the adviser and critic reader. There were two sets of
questionnaires in the study. One was for the mentors. The other set of questionnaire was intended for the
mentees.

FELVI B. PAULO| Head Teacher 1| Mallig Central School-Annex | 09655326286 |felvi.paulo001@deped.gov.ph

A. Sampling

The respondents of this study shall be the 8 multi-grade teachers of Mallig District

FELVI B. PAULO| Head Teacher 1| Mallig Central School-Annex | 09655326286 |felvi.paulo001@deped.gov.ph

B. Data Collection

The mode on how data collection will be made will be through the survey questionnaire to be filled
up by the respondents and the validation process through the institutionally-crafted monitoring tool,
aligned with technical assistance that the teachers know.

C. Ethical Issues

To pacify a smooth-sailing conduct of the study, all the variables and claims were meticulously studied
not to offend anyone that might affect personality of someone. Thus, this study anchors on the premises
that this is conducted to follow-up views and will be treated with utmost confidentiality and no one will
surely not be harmed.

D. Plan for Data Analysis

In order to categorically answer the problems raised in the study, the following statistical tools will be employed:

1. Descriptive Statistics such as frequency counts, averaging, and percentages will be used to describe the present
profile of the respondents.

2. Mean. Mean or average will be employed to determine the overall picture of a set of data. The formula is
presented below:

X = ∑Xn
N

X = the computed mean

Xn = the set of scores
N = the number of respondents

FELVI B. PAULO| Head Teacher 1| Mallig Central School-Annex | 09655326286 |felvi.paulo001@deped.gov.ph

D. Plan for Data Analysis

Percentage. Percentage will be used to determine the space occupied by each stratum or item in the frequency table
of the variables considered in the study. The formula is seen below:

P = __ _ X______ x 100
N
Where:
P = Computed percentage
X = Sub score value
N = Number of samples

FELVI B. PAULO| Head Teacher 1| Mallig Central School-Annex | 09655326286 |felvi.paulo001@deped.gov.ph

D. Plan for Data Analysis

Weighted Mean. This tool will be used to determine the weighted average responses
in a certain item. This presents and interprets the form and extent the involvement of the respondents. The formula is presented
below:

Where:

WX = ∑fw
N

WX = the computed weighted mean

f = the frequency
W = assign weights
N = total number of respondents

FELVI B. PAULO| Head Teacher 1| Mallig Central School-Annex | 09655326286 |felvi.paulo001@deped.gov.ph

D. Plan for Data Analysis
To be able to interpret the gathered data, the following statistical tools will be used:

1. To justify the computation for frequency and percentage, the formula will be:

P= F/N x 100%

Where:
P= Percentage
F= Number of frequency
N= Number of respondents

2. To perform hypothesis testing and correlations, the formula will be:

X² = (O-E)²

E
O = Observed Frequency
 
E = Expected Frequency

D. Plan for Data Analysis

1. The F test will be used to compare the variances of two populations of data:

, where is the variance of the first group and is the variance of the second

group.
