Chapter III

This document describes the research methodology used in a study. A quantitative approach using surveys was used to collect data from 50 employees and job seekers of an agency in Taguig City, Philippines. The surveys were self-administered questionnaires distributed personally by the researcher. The respondents were selected through purposive non-probability sampling to ensure they could understand the purpose of the questionnaires. The research instrument used was a standardized questionnaire designed by the researchers to collect perceptions about a new computer system. Rapid Application Development was used as the software process to develop the proposed system using SQL Server for the database.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
In the previous chapters, exposed the context of the problem, the objectives of
this paper and the theoretical background of the topic including findings of
precedent studies. The aim of this chapter is to describe and to justify the methodology
used to gather, to organize and to interpret the necessary information in order to
develop step by step a strategic plan.

Methods of Research to be used


A quantitative approach was followed. Burns and Grove (1993:777) define
quantitative research as a formal, objective, systematic process to describe and test
relationships and examine cause and effect. Surveys may be used for descriptive,
explanatory and exploratory research. A descriptive survey design was used. A survey is
used to collect original data for describing a population too large to observe directly. A
survey obtains information from a sample of people by means of self-report, that is, the
people respond to a series of questions posed by the investigator. In this study the
information

was

collected

through

self-administered

questionnaires

personally and systematically to the subjects by the researcher.

Population Frame and Sampling Scheme or Study Population

distributed

This research study focuses on the people as its respondents for the
questionnaire. The participants will be the employees and job seekers of the agency.
A minimum of 50 people will be the sampling scheme of the questionnaire to be
conducted. . Mouton (1996:132) defines a sample as elements selected with the
intention of finding out something about the total population from which they are taken.
A convenient sample consists of subjects included in the study because they happen to
be in the right place at the right time.
The purposive study population was used in this game application. There were
50 respondents asked to indicate their appropriate rating for each indicator
under each factor (socio-economic, psychological, and environmental). It is a type of
nonprobability sampling in a study consciously selects specific elements in order to
insure that the elements will the certain characteristics relevant to the study.

Description of the Respondents


In order to determine whether particular questionnaire does tested and effective
an important role is conducting study of how the said system will be beneficial, a total of
50 respondents was asked to participate. To achieve pertinent information, certain
inclusion criteria were imposed. The participants qualified for sample selection must be
of relation to the agency. This qualification ensured that the participants understand the
nature of particular questionnaire and its use generally. The respondents were selected
from one of the place in Taguig CIty, thus, a total of 50 people were selected, as the
study also aimed to determine whether particular questionnaire effective an important
role in conducting research.

Research Instrument
Computer system used in an agency is a new concept in working environnmen
and existing research include specific learning activities and methods. There was
standardized instrument appropriate for collecting perceptions of people and the society
included in the field of work. The statements related to system were developed by

designing the instrument of study by the researchers and the statements in this
discussion forum section of faculty evaluation instrument.

This survey questionnaire was selected because it provides an accurate


portrayal or account of the characteristics, for example behavior, opinions, abilities,
beliefs, and knowledge of a particular individual, situation or group. This design was
chosen to meet the objectives of the study, namely to determine the perception,
knowledge and views of people about the system. There were also developed by
designing the instrument by the researchers. People evaluation instrument was used for
collecting responses as People perceptions. This instrument was validated by expert
views. The results of item analysis can be found on results section of this document for
every item.

Software Process
The Rapid Application Development Model were used in our proposed
application. This software process will give a big help to the proposed system..
The RAD model is a software engineering process; it provides an easily
incorporate small to large changes in any phase, confident model does not include
users involvement at every step rather users involved only when there are critical
assessments to be made, it also a flexible model not restricting the developers enabling
them to move both front and back from any given stage to any other stage during life
cycle. The goals of confident process model is to ensure the easy way to develop the
proposed system, to ensure the production of high quality software that meets the
needs of the client, and the requirements of the system. If some of the requirements
changes or new requirements surface during this phase, then we can loop back to new
requirements with the existing one. These mandatory requirements are expected to
implement in the first version itself. Final validation step to get the clear and obvious
picture of the user requirements to have the overall scenario of requirements for the

software. The user suggestions and feedback are used to incorporate new requirements
in later version of the project.

System Coding
Programming language
The programming languages used in creating the system are the
following;

Database Management SYSTEM


SQL Server

All the tools above where used to create a computer system The proponents
chose web applications is because they are way easier to access than other
applications.
