CHAPTER III
Research Design and Methodology
This chapter clearly presents the research method to be used, respondents of the study,
and the locale of the study. It also enlists the research instruments, data gathering procedure,
and statistical tools to be used in the study. Discussions on the distribution, accumulation, and
consolidation of the questionnaires are stated in this chapter.
Methods of Research
The method of research to be used will have to be specified. The use of the method must be
justified.
Locale of the Study
This includes the place/venue where the study was undertaken.
Respondents/Subject of the Study
The population of the study must be stated in terms of “who” and “how many”. If a sample is to
be taken from the population, then the sampling technique must also be explained.
Research Instruments
The research instruments must be described in terms of content, nature and source. If the
instrument is constructed by the researcher, then the validation process should likewise be
discussed. The instrument is to be used for gathering the data needed for the study.
Data Gathering Procedure
How the data are gathered must be discussed in detail in this section. It must also include the
ethical considerations such as seeking approval from proper authorities for conducting the
research or for gathering data.
Validation Process
Sample: The researchers used the face and content validation process. Face validation was
done by two (2) High School teacher in English of Roosevelt College Marikina, namely, Mrs.
Xxx1 and Ms. Xxx2. Mrs. Xxx1’s total evaluation to the questionnaire is x̄ = 4, while Ms. Xxx2’s
total evaluation is x̄ = 4.67. therefore, the questionnaire is both valid and agreed by the
evaluators.
Statistical Tools/Treatment of Data
The statistical tools which are used to answer the problem must be stated. The reason for
using the statistics may likewise be explained. It is the results of the statistical computations
which will guide the researcher in the interpretations of the data.
