RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter includes the method of research, population, sample size and sampling
Method of Research
The study will use the descriptive method of research. It is concern primarily in
describes and interprets the present. “What is.” It reveals conditions on relationships that
exist or do not exist, effects that are being felt or trends that develop. (Salvador, Baysa &
Geronimo, 2008).
The descriptive research method will include data gathering that will describe events
and then organizes, tabulates, depicts and describes the data collected through graphs and
charts to support the reader in understanding the data distribution. This method will enable
the researchers to interpret the theoretical meaning of the findings and hypothesis
The population of study will include the three section of the Grade 11 HUMSS Senior
High School with the total of 150 at Polytechnic University of the Philippines.
The researchers will determine the sample size by using the Slovins formula;

The respondents of this study are the among Grade 11 Humanities and Social
Sciences Students (HUMSS) of Polytechnic University of the Philippines for the School
Research Instrument
The survey questionnaires will use as the main data-gathering instrument for this
study.
The Likert survey is the selected questionnaire type as this enable the respondents
to answer the survey easily. In addition, this research instrument allows the researchers to
carry out the quantitative approach effectively with the used of statistics for data
interpretation. In order to test the validity of the questionnaire use for the study, the
researcher’s pilot will test the questionnaire to five respondents. These respondents as well
as their answers are not parts of the actual study process and are only used for testing
purposes. After the questions have been answered, the researchers will ask the
improvement and validity of the instrument. The researcher will revise the survey
questionnaires based on the supervision of the research adviser. The researchers then
