METHODOLOGY:

Good day panelist, now i will discuss to you the methodology i will start first
in research design

Slide 1: Research Design

In our research we use descriptive mixed-method research design, kung saan


pinagsama ang descriptive quantitative at qualitative research methods to better
understand the Political science students use AI in their academic work

The question to this why we use mixed method?


There are many ways on conducting research but napili namin ang mixed-method
research design dahil nais naming hindi lamang alamin ang dami ng gumagamit
ng AI kundi pati ang kanilang reason, perspective and its impact on their
academic progress. So basically we use
●​ Descriptive Quantitative Research
- Ginamit ito upang makuha ang numerical data (numbers, percentage,
frequency of use, and other statistical data). So in here, masusuri kung ilang
porsyento ng mga estudyante ang gumagamit ng AI, anong AI tools ang madalas
gamitin, at kung para saan nila ito ginagamit.
- Ginamit ang structured survey upang makuha ang datos na ito.

Next is the qualitative research, so in here


- Ginamit namin ito para malaman ang opinyon, pananaw, at personal na
karanasan ng mga estudyante sa paggamit ng AI.
- It is not enough to just know kung kadami ng gumagamit ng AI—it is also
important for us to know kung bakit nila ito ginagamit, paano ito nakakatulong sa
kanilang pag-aaral, at kung ano ang mga challenges they face na kanilang
nararanasa while using AI
- And we Focus Group Discussion (FGD) upang makuha ang malalim na
pananaw ng aming mga napiling students.

Ayon kina Saraswati at Devi (2023), ang mixed-method research ay nagbibigay ng


mas malawak at mas detalyadong pagsusuri sa isang isyu, dahil nakapokus ito
sa parehong Statistical data (quantitative) and a deep understanding of the
participants' experiences (qualitative).

And the question is that, Bakit hindi pure quantitative o pure qualitative?
Kung pure quantitative lang ang gagamitin, makakakuha tayo ng numbers and
percentage, pero hindi natin malalaman ang dahilan at impact ng AI sa buhay ng
mga students.
Kung pure qualitative naman, makakakuha tayo ng mga personal na pananaw,
But we cannot see the overall pattern and trend of AI usage across the entire
population.
Dahil dito, pinagsama ang dalawa upang magkaroon ng complete picture of the
issue

And now lets move to the next slide


Research Locale and Sampling Procedures

Our research was conducted at Wesleyan University-Philippines (WU-P),


Cushman Campus, Mabini Extension, Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija.

WU-P was chosen because it is the only school in Cabanatuan City that offers a
Political Science program focused on training students in the fields of public
administration, law, and research.

Our respondents ay lahat ng Political Science students mula 1st year hanggang
4th year sa Academic Year 2024-2025.

So how were the respondents selected?

Para sa Quantitative Data, we conducted a survey


- Kasama ang lahat ng 101 Political Science students.
- Bakit lahat? Dahil gusto naming makita ang kabuuang pattern ng AI usage sa
buong kurso, thats why isang grupo o year evel ang pinag-aralan.
- Bakit hindi sample lang? Dahil manageable pa rin ang bilang (101 respondents),
kaya mas maganda nang kunin ang lahat kaysa gumamit ng random sampling na
maaaring hindi magprovide samin ng complete picture.
Para sa Qualitative Data, we conducted Focus Group Discussion
- 8 estudyante ang napili (2 kada year level) gamit ang purposive sampling
technique.
- Bakit purposive sampling? Dahil hindi lang basta kahit sinong estudyante ang
pinili namin—pinili ang mga mga student na may active experience in using AI so
they can provide more detailed answers.-
Bakit 8 lang ang kinuha? Ayon sa Magnone & Yezierski (2024), sapat na ang 8-12
kalahok sa isang FGD, to maintain a balanced discussion—having enough
interaction but not too much to become chaotic.

SCOPE AND DELIMITATION

And now lets move on to the next slide, Scope and Delimitation

Our research is focused solely on the Political Science students of Wesleyan


University-Philippines (WU-P) at the Cushman Campus, Cabanatuan City. We
analyzed kung paano nila ginagamit ang Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools sa
kanilang academic work, we also investigate the motivations, purposed and
challenges in using Ai.

### Bakit Political Science students lang ang pinag-aralan?


- Political Science is a course that requires in-depth analysis, critical thinking, and
research, where the use of AI can have a significant impact.
- And also ayon kay Khalifa (2022), maaaring makatulong ang AI sa
pagpapalakas ng critical thinking at communication skills, na mahalaga sa
larangan ng Political Science.

For the Delimitation:


Although the topic of Artificial Intelligence in Education is broad, there are
several aspects that are not covered by this research:
1. First nga hindi kasama dito ang ibang course sa WU-P.
- Nakatuon lamang ito sa Political Science students.
- Other programs were not included because their use of AI may differ.
2. Not all AI tools were analyzed
- Nakatuon ang pag-aaral sa mga pinakakaraniwang AI tools na ginagamit ng
Political Science students.
- Software that is not directly related to education, such as AI in gaming or
business applications, is not included.

3. Also, Changes in AI after this research are not covered.​


- Since technology is constantly evolving, new AI tools may emerge that did not
exist during the time of this study.

Question is , Bakit limitado lang ang saklaw ng pag-aaral?


- The aim of the research is magconduct ng in-depth analysis of a specific group
which is yung Political Science, kung yung scope natin is broad or malawak,
mahihirapan na ianalyze yung data, and the research may lose its focus.

Next slide would be our Research Instrument


Upang makuha ang mga necessary data, this research used two main research
instruments:
1. Survey Questionnaire (Para sa Quantitative Data)
2. Focus Group Discussion (FGD) (Para sa Qualitative Data)

So for our our quantitative data we use Survey Questionnaire


Ginamit namin ang structured survey questionnaire upang makuha ng numerical
data tungkol sa demographics, motivations, and objectives of students' use of AI.

Bakit structured survey ang ginamit?


- Mas mabilis at systematically mas macocollect natin yung data from all
Political Science students.
- Also, It is easy to process and analyze using descriptive statistics.

For the Content of the Survey Questionnaire eto po lahat ng nakapaloob

●​ Demographic Information (Age, Gender, Year in College)


●​ Most Frequently Used AI Tools
●​ Purpose of Using AI (e.g., For essay writing, conducting research, or
answering assignments)
●​ Positive Effects of AI on Learning
●​ Challenges in Using AI
●​ Level of Trust in AI-generated Information (Using a 4-point Likert Scale)

So ang tanong, How was the effectiveness of the survey ensured?


- So nagkaroon ng Validity Test: Sinuri ng isang language expert at statistician to
ensure that the questions are clear and accurate
- Also nagkaroon ng Reliability Test: Before the actual data collection, a pilot test
was conducted with 45 respondents to check if the consistency of the answers
was proper.

2. Next is the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) for our qualitative data
Ginamit ang semi-structured interview guide sa Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to
gain a deeper insight into the students' perspectives on the use of AI.

Bakit FGD ang ginamit para sa qualitative data?


- Mas maraming idea and opinion ang lumalabas kapag nagkakaroon ng
discussion sa pagitan ng mga students
- Ang interaksyon sa pagitan ng mga participants ay nakakahelp para mas
malalim ang kanilang understanding sa kanilang mga perspective and
experiences while using Ai.

So paano namin isinagawa ang FGD?


- Namili kami ng 8 students, dalawa kada year level gamit ang purposive
sampling.
- Isang moderator led to ensure that the sharing of opinions was organized and
balanced.

●​ The discussion was audio and video recorded (with the participants'
consent) to ensure accurate transcription.
●​ Filipino and English were used to make the participants feel more natural
and comfortable in answering.

For the last part of the methodology lets move on to the next slide the
Data Gathering Procedures
-​ Basahin mo muna nasa powerpoint
Explain after:
In this study, data management and analysis involved two main
approaches—descriptive statistics for the survey data and thematic analysis for
the focus group discussion (FGD) data.

So for our, Descriptive Statistics (Quantitative Data)


Sa aming survey data, we used descriptive statistics para i-summarize at
i-organize ang data. Kasama dito ang pagcalculate ng frequencies (kung gaano
kadalas mangyari ang isang bagay) at percentages (kung gaano karami sa isang
partikular na grupo ang tumutugon sa isang paraan). Ang descriptive statistics
will help para mas maintindihan ang data sa pamamagitan ng pag-describe ng
mga trend at patterns sa sample ng mga estudyante ayon yan (Kaur, Stoltzfus &
Yellapu, 2018). At yung statistician, inanalyze niya yung data para malaman ang
mga motivatiomn at dahilan sa paggamit ng AI sa edukasyon, base sa
demographic profiles ng mga estudyante. Vinalidate din yung data ng isang
expert para masiguro ang accuracy just like what i explain earlier

And kami naman, gumamit ng Thematic Analysis (Qualitative Data)​


Para sa focus group discussion (FGD), gumamit kami ng thematic analysis para
suriin ang data. Ibig sabihin, tinranscribe namin yung mga recorded na
discussion and the answer was carefully coded, kinikilala ang mga patterns at
recurring theme. Ginawa namin ito para mas maintindihan ang motivations, mga
concerns, at mga dahilan ng mga kalahok sa paggamit ng AI sa edukasyon. Sa
paggamit ng Thematic Analysis, naging mas flexible at nakatulong ito para mas
mag dive deeper sa mga challenges at problema na nararanasan ng mga
estudyante sa paggamit ng AI sa kanilang pag-aaral, ayon yan (DeJonckheere et
al., 2024).

Paano mo sinigurong reliable ang data collection?


- Sinunod ang ethical guidelines (may consent forms at confidentiality
agreement).
- Ginamit ang parehong survey at FGD upang mapatibay ang findings.
- Nagkaroon ng pilot testing bago ang aktwal na survey.

Thats all for my part, thank u
