RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY
This chapter present the design of the study, sources of data, data gathering instrument,
instrumentation and validation, statistics techniques and instrument, and sampling
techniques statistical treatment of data.
Research Design
The researcher have conducted a descriptive developmental design in this study
wherein the researchers produced an a sandblaster sand remover. Developmental research is
defined as the systematic study of creating, developing, and assessing instructional
programs, processes, and products that must meet internal consistency and effectiveness
requirements. This is in contrast to simple instructional development. Research on
developmental processes is especially significant when it comes to instructional technology
(Richey 1994). The product developed may tested the quality characteristic rated by
evaluators who were involved in the development process of the sandblaster sand remover.
To measure the quality characteristic, the study employed a quantitative method using a
5- point likert scale in analyzing the response from the product evaluation scorecard. This
study adopted the 5-point Likert Scale quality scorecard from the study of Aldave (2020),
wherein the researchers enhanced and changed the quality scorecards in term of
specialization from food to mechanical technology description.
Source of Data
Data gathered using a product evaluation scorecard from the five(5) panel of evaluators
or panelist from Catanduanes State University – College of Industrial Technology Instructors /
mentors with different field specialization; two (3) mechanical and two (2) electrical, to evaluate
the development of the improvised welding machine utilizing recyclable materials which were
statistically analyzed the data using quantitative scale.
Instrumental and Validation
Qualitative research has been critized for it’s rigor and strength of validity and realibility
of the data and conclusions. It is important to consider realibilty and validity in creating your
research design (Middleton, 2019) because it increase transparency and decrease opportunities to
insert researcher bias in qualitative research (Singh, 2014). The quality scorecard 5-point Linkert
rating scale used by Aldave (2020) will be modified and enhanced by researchers to rate the
quality characteristics from the specialization of food technology and mechanical technology
description.
Data Gathering Procedure
The data gathering procedure has three stages which are: (1) innovation of sand blaster
rust remover using recycable materials, (2) evaluation of quality charateristics, and (3)
determination of the degree quality characteristics.
Stage 1 involved the innovation of sand blaster remover using recycable materials,
namely used by air compressor, a safety box and scrap metals.
Stage 2 involved the evaluation of quality characteristic through the use of a product
evaluation scorecard rated by the five(5) panel of evaluators.
Stage 3 involved the determination of the degree quality characteristic through the
analysis of the response in the product evaluation scorecard using 5- point Linkert scale.
STAGE 1: Innovation of sand blaster rust remover
STAGE 2: Evaluation of characteristics
STAGE 3: Determination of the degree of quality characteristics
Figure 2. Stages of Innovation and Evaluation and Degree of Quality Characteristics of
Sand Blaster Rust Remover
Stage 1: innovation and evaluation of sand blaster rust remover. In developing sand
blaster rust remover , the researcher prepared used air compressor nozzle, scrap bars, metal
frame, and a air compressor.
PROCESS OF MAKING SAND BLASTER RUST REMOVER
Preparation of all materials
needed
Disassembling/ separating Welding the safety box Connecting hose
Figure 3. Flow Chart for the Innovation and Evaluation of Sand Blaster Rust Rmover
The following are step-by-step procedures in constructing the sand blaster rust remover
machine;
1. Prepare all the metal scrap for the sand blaster safety box, compression hose, and air
compressor nozzle.
2. Weld the metal to construct a small box to make the safety box
3. Flat a screen to segregate the metal chips and sand on the flooring of the box
4. Connect the hose to the compressor nozzle and another hose to the sand jar
5. Connect the hose with compressor nozzle to the air compressor machine
6. Close the door of the safety box with a scrap glass or scrap fiber glass to provide the view
of the workpiece
7. Prepare a fine white/black sand
8. Keep full of air the air compressor machine
Stage 2: Evaluation of Quality Characteristics of Sand Blaster Rust Remover, In this
stage, the product will be rated by the selected five (5) panel of evaluators and the product
was analyzed to validate the panelist’s judgement on the sand blaster rust remover.
Stage 3: Determination of the Degree of Quality Characteristic of Sand Remover Rust
Remover. This stage involved the determination of the degree of the quality characteristics
among the evaluators. The degree of quality characteristics is terms of workability, safety,
efficiency, and durability. These was determined through a 5-point Linkert scale. A 5-point
Linkert scale was used determine the degree of quality characteristics as rated by evaluators.
Statistical Treatment of Data
The statistical tool was used to evaluate the results of the innovation of sand blaster rust
remover. Weighted mean was used to process the evaluators scores on various proportions
evaluated regarding to the workability, safety, efficiency, and durability.
