RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter contains method of research population, sample size, and sampling technique,
description of respondents, research instrument, data-gathering procedure, and the statistical treatment
of data used in the conduct of this study.
Methods of Research
Selected senior high school students in Salud Cagas Technical and Vocational High School
during S.Y. 2020-2021 were utilized in this study. The researchers utilized the stratified sampling
method. Stratified Sampling Method is a method of sampling that involves the division of a population
into smaller groups known as strata (as in sections). In stratified random sampling, or stratification, the
strata are formed based on members shared attributes or characteristics.
The sample size was determined using Cochran’s Sample Size Formula which is follows:
2
z pq
n 0= 2
ⅇ
Where:
e is the desired level of precision (i.e. the margin of error
p is the (estimated) proportion which has the attribute in question
q is 1-p.
In this study, the researcher used 95% confidence, and at least 5 percent- plus or minus- precision. A
95% confidence level gives us z-value of 1.96.
The respondents were the Senor High School of Salud Cagas Technical and Vocational High
School who are officially enrolled during the second semester of School Year 2020-2021. There are
two sections from Academic Achievement and Skills Performance of the respondents. The researchers
chose them as respondents as they have greater exposure and knowledge and in bringing out the best
responses for the questionnaire study and its implications.
Research Instrument
This study used the SPSS V.20 or the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences to ensure
accuracy and reliability of data analysis. This study used the following tools to analyze and treat the
data:
1. Frequency and Percentage
Frequency and percentage were used for the demographic profile of the respondents. The
sample percentage calculation was used to assign percentage to grouping of marks and responses,
particular to items requiring on the different responses. This is also used for assigning the number of
samples per strata.
∠
P= ×100 %
n
Weighted mean was used for the describe the respondents of modular distance learning.
∑fw
The formula used for this statistical tool is as follows: Mw=
n
Where:
Mw- computed weighted mean
fw- product of frequency
n- total number of samples
