Method, Data Gathering tool, Data Gathering Procedure and Data Analysis.

Research Design

This study employed quantitative approach, involving numbers, charts, and statistics to present

data. This study aims to investigate the effect of sleep deprivation towards the academic performance

of grade 11 students in Pilar High School using quantitative. Researchers use a quantitative research

approach because it allows them to gather objective data in the form of numbers (Williams, 2021).

Specially, the study is correlational research as it aims to study the relationships between

variables without manipulating them (Curtis et. al. 2016). It explores the relationship between sleep

deprivation and academic performance.

Research Locale

The research was conducted at Pilar High School, which is located in Sayre Highway Zone 2

Kisolon, Sumilao, Bukidnon. Pilar High School is a member of Catholic Educational Association of the

Philippines (CEAP) and Bukidnon Association of Catholics Schools (BUACS). The school offers both

Junior High School and Senior High School comprising of four different strands which are the

Accountancy and Business Management (ABM), Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS), General

Academic Strand (GAS) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). The

institution is currently dealing challenges regarding sleep deprivation. Students are experiencing

inadequate sleep because they sleep less than 8 hours per night.

Participants of the Study

The target population of the study is the grade 11 senior high school students during the

academic year, 2024-2025 of Pilar High School in Kisolon, Sumilao, Bukidnon. These students belong

to four different strands of the SHS program, namely: Accountancy and Business Management

(ABM); Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS); General Academic Strand (GAS); and Science,

Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).

With a population size of 116 grade 11 students, the researchers considered sample of 50

respondents. These samples shall be randomly selected through stratified random sampling to

guarantee fair and equitable representation. The process of stratified sampling entails first splitting a

population into identical subgroups, or “strata,” and then choosing participants at random for further

investigation from each group. (Simkus, 2023) Stratified sampling is an effective method of gathering

information from a large population. It can help you break down large groups into more manageable

sample sizes (Indeed Editorial Team, 2022).

Data Gathering Tool

The study utilized a Likert Scale survey questionnaire adopted from the study of AlFakhri et al.

(2015) entitled “Perceptions of pre-clerkship medical students and academic advisors about sleep

deprivation and its relationship to academic performance.” The, the researchers modified the

questionnaire to get the certain data from the respondents. Questions such as “Do you find it difficult

to focus on tasks because of poor sleep?” will be answered with a five-point scale. The scale includes

the following options: always, often, sometimes, rarely, and never.


The questionnaire is composed of questions leading to a reason for sleeping deprivation of the

students. There are 12 questions found in the questionnaire. The questionnaire consisting of two

parts, which are the official questions pertaining to level of sleep deprivation in term of no. of hours

and academic performance in terms of General Percentage Average (GPA), and impact of sleep

deprivation

Data Gathering Procedure

In gathering data, the researchers conducted the following steps and procedures for data

collection:

Asking Permission to conduct the study. This study was conducted during the school year

2024-2025. The context and procedure of the study were planned. A letter of request to conduct the

study was prepared and signed by the research adviser.

Administration and Distribution of the Questionnaire. The researchers invested a lot of

time, energy, and cooperation finding a questionnaire online. The researchers find a questionnaire

that is coherent to the study and this questionnaire was adapted from a certain proponent. It was then

distributed to the survey respondents which are the 50 grade 11 students out of 114 grade 11 student

in Pilar High School.

Retrieval of the Questionnaire. Questionnaire shall be retried the same day as they were

given to ensure a higher return percentage questionnaire. The participants marked their responses to

the questions on the thesis problem that were included in the provided questionnaire. Following the

completion of the questionnaire, the researchers collected the data for interpretation. A detailed

analysis and investigation were conducted on each participant’s responses pertinent to the issue, the

researcher will analyze each response. All of the participant responses and information was recorded

by the researcher. The key findings form the questionnaire were obtained by the researcher.
The following statistical measures are used in identifying the reasons of the sleeping pattern

among the grade 11 students in Pilar High School and its impact towards their academic

performance.

Data Analysis

The responses gathered from the Likert Scale survey questionnaire were analyzed using

descriptive statistics to determine the extent of sleep deprivation among Grade 11 students and its

potential impact on academic performance. The data were interpreted using the following Likert scale

scoring system:

Positive Negative Mean Qualitative Quantifying statement


scale scale value description

5 1 4.50-5.00 Always The prevalence of sleep deprivation is


extremely high.
4 2 3.40-4.49 Often The prevalence of sleep deprivation is
moderately high.
3 3 2.60-3.39 Sometimes The prevalence of sleep deprivation is high.

2 4 1.80-2.59 Rarely The prevalence of sleep deprivation is


moderately low.
1 5 1.00-1.79 Never The prevalence of sleep deprivation is
extremely low.

INVENTORY SCORING KEY

The result of the study contains the effect of sleep deprivation of grade 11 students in Pilar

High School. The responses from the adopted Likert Scale survey questionnaire were analyzed to

identify trends in sleep deprivation patterns among the students and their potential effects on

academic performance. The researchers used mean scores to determine the level of sleep

deprivation and its correlation with students’ academic performance, as measured by their General

Percentage Average (GPA).

Common questions

The impact of sleep deprivation was evaluated using descriptive statistics to analyze responses from a Likert Scale survey, which offered insights into the extent of sleep deprivation and its correlation with General Percentage Average (GPA). These methods are appropriate as they provide a structured way to quantify qualitative data and interpret trends in student performance .

Focusing on grade 11 students allows for a concentrated examination of a particularly transitional educational period, where academic pressures are high. This specificity aids in understanding how sleep patterns affect students' academic performance at a critical stage of their schooling, though it may limit applicability to other age groups .

The study ensures equitable representation by using stratified random sampling, which involves splitting the population into subgroups (strata) and randomly selecting participants from each subgroup . This is important to capture diverse perspectives and ensure findings are representative of the entire population, reducing bias .

The choice of the 2024-2025 academic year likely aligns with practical considerations such as availability of participants and logistical planning . However, the specific timing can impact results by introducing unique temporal variables, such as educational policy changes or societal factors affecting student sleep patterns .

The researchers chose a quantitative approach because it allows for gathering objective data in the form of numbers, charts, and statistics to investigate the relationship between sleep deprivation and academic performance without manipulating variables .

Sleep deprivation trends indicating reduced academic performance can have broader educational implications by highlighting the need for policy adjustments in school schedules or student support services. Such findings underscore the importance of addressing sleep as a vital component of student wellness and learning outcomes, potentially influencing educational policy and student health initiatives .

The study's correlation between poor sleep and lower GPA suggests a significant impact of sleep on cognitive functions and learning. Educators should incorporate this insight into strategies that encourage better sleep hygiene, such as starting school later or integrating wellness programs, to enhance student performance and well-being .

The Likert Scale, while useful for quantifying subjective responses, may limit the nuanced understanding of the complexity of sleep deprivation. Its format can introduce biases such as central tendency or social desirability bias, and it may not fully capture the individual variability in subjective experiences .

Retrospective retrieval and immediate analysis of survey responses contribute to reliability by reducing data loss and ensuring a high return rate. The use of descriptive statistics enhances validity by providing rigorous data interpretation, reducing personal or situational bias in understanding sleep deprivation patterns .

Pilar High School is significant as it provides a specific, controlled environment to examine the effects of sleep deprivation on grade 11 students, offering a microcosm for understanding similar educational settings. Its affiliation with educational associations also supports study generalizability within similar institutions .
