Methodology
The goal of this chapter was to present the research design, research locale,
participants of the study, research instrument, data gathering procedure, and the data analysis
procedure.
Research Design
The researchers were used descriptive method of research. Descriptive research is used to
obtain information concerning the current status of the phenomena to describe "what exists" with
numerical form, such as scores on a test or the number of times a person chooses to use a-certain
patterns of interaction when using technology in a group situation. Descriptive research involves
gathering data that describe events and then organizes, tabulates, depicts, and describes the data
Descriptive studies have an important role in educational research. They have greatly
increased our knowledge about what happens in schools. Descriptive research reveals problems
not want, what we want, and how to acquire what we want. It also gives a better and deeper
The study was carried out at Cavite State University- Rosario Secondary Education
Laboratory School (SELS) former Cavite College of Arts and Trades in Tejeros Convention,
Rosario, Cavite. Cavite State University-Rosaio Campus is one of the 11 satelite of CVSU. It is
also known as CVSU R and Cavite State University College of Arts and Trade. It was
established by the virtue of R.A No. 5966 authored by Cong. Justiniano S. Montano and was
approved on June 21, 1969 as National College of Arts and Trades primarily to provide higher
integrated with Cavite State University by virtue of CHED memo No. 27, s.2000. Cavite State
(BSE), Bachelor of Technical Teacher Education (BTTE). The school also offered two years
courses such as Associate in Computer Technology (ACT), Diploma in Hotel and Restaurant
Aside from tertiary level, CVSU-R are also have secondary level which is Secondary
Education Laboratory School (SELS) having a population of 150 students. This research will be
conducted in this school to provide the students a strategy which is paraphrasing math word
The participants of the study are the students in Secondary Education Laboratory School
having population of 150 students. The respondents were randomly selected consisting of 30%
Research Instruments
The researchers were used questionnaire as an instrument in this study to collect factual
The evaluation instrument will be using a survey and the criterion is listed below:
statement.
The researcher used a questionnaire as an instrument for the evaluation and the sample
Phase I
The researchers were prepared a checklist and questionnaire for evaluation about
paraphrasing math word problem to improve the performance of the students. The researcher will
be preparing also a letter for dean to have permission in conducting a study. The prepared letter
for conducting this study can be found in the appendices of this research.
Phase II
The prepared survey form and questionnaire of the researchers were submitted to the
researcher’s adviser for evaluation. Necessary revisions will be applied and return to the
researchers. The develop questionnaires and survey form can be found in the appendices of this
research.
Phase III
After the letters, survey form and questionnaire have been approved, the researchers
started to conduct the evaluation to the students. Before answering the questionnaire and survey
form the student first will be oriented from the researcher about their respective topics.
The outcome was tabulated and summarized for the computation of the mean. The result
The results gathered from the assessment checklist were tallied, tabulated, analyzed and
interpreted. Computation of means of responses is employed in the treatment data. The following
The researchers were also used Pearson r Formula to seek for the correlation of the two
interval variables which are the used of paraphrasing and the students’ performance in problem

Sir,
Greetings!
We, the bonafide students of BSE 401 Mathematics, are currently working on a research paper
entitled, “Paraphrasing Math Word Problems to Improve the Performance of the Students”.
In line with the study, we would like to ask your permission to conduct our study in your
institution.
Thank you for paying attention regarding this matter. We are hoping for your favorable response.
Respectfully,
Gonzales, Realyn D.
