METHODOLOGY
Research Design
This study is a correlational study that employs a quantitative approach with the
(Labaree, 2009). It tends to be more objective in nature, seeking to quantify data and
generalize results from a sample to the population of interest and to measure the
relationship exists between two or more variables (Kowalczyk, 2018). It does not
describe the nature of the relationship as in descriptive research and it cannot be used
The choice of the research design is significant in a broad area of inquiry such as
level of knowledge and practice. This study will document the level of knowledge of the
Grade 12 learners regarding waste segregation who, for the purpose of this study, have
been practicing segregation inside the school and even outside or at home. The
appropriateness of research method relates to design that offers the “best fit” to answer
In quantitative research sampling, the sample size tends to be larger than that
AdDU-SHS. The sampling frame is the target population for the research study and
the study sample is a subgroup that represents the area of research interest. For this
study, we will need 323 respondents from a 2006 total population of AdDU Senior
High School learners. This sample size is calculated with 5% margin of error and 95%
confidence level.
The Instrument
In this study, the data will be gathered using a three-part specially formulated
survey questionnaire prepared in English language. The first and third part, which are
both adopted from the study of Vivek et al (2013) about household waste management,
aims to gather the level of knowledge and practice of the respondents regarding waste
assess how well the respondents know how to classify the different wastes. This
questionnaire will be the tool to help the researchers to be able to get the data needed
In conducting this study, the researchers first get permission from the Assistant
Director for Academics to make the grade 12 learners of AdDU Senior High School as
respondents. The letter of approval which includes the ethical considerations according
to the Belmont Report, is addressed and presented to the Practical Research Cluster
Head, Practical Research Teacher and Capstone Teacher. After the approval letter is
signed, the survey questionnaires will then be given to the respondents while giving
them the freedom to participate in this study. The ethical considerations are strictly

researchers during the conduct of the study in accordance with the Belmont Report.

research process voluntarily. They will also be given the opportunity to choose what

of the respondents. An assessment of risks and benefits will be done before the conduct
of the study.
Justice. The data that will be gathered in this study will not be manipulated nor altered
to avoid being biased and to come up with the true result. The respondents in this study
will also be given what they deserve before, during, and after the conduct of the study.
