Chapter III Methodology This chapter
presents a research design, samples and sampling technique,
instrumentation, procedure and statistical analysis of data.
Research Design The researcher will utilize a descriptive type of research in conducting the study. The researcher will make use of checklist questionnaire which intend to determine the perceived influences of Internet to the classroom learning of elementary students from selected public.
Samples and Sampling Technique This study will administer a total of ______ high school students: _____are in third year level from _______ . The students will be chosen randomly to be the respondents in this study. A checklist questionnaire will be use to identify the perceived influence of Internet to the classroom learning of the students.
Instrumentation The researcher will formulate a self-made checklist questionnaire. Its content will be based on the researcher’s observation, reading of the related literature and studies regarding the internet and on unstructured interviews with several students who use the internet for various purposes. The prepared instrument will be submitted to the adviser for face and content validation. After that, the final draft of the questionnaire will be formulated.
Procedure The researcher will use a checklist questionnaire approved by the research adviser. For high percentage of return answered instruments, the researcher will distribute and collect the questionnaires personally from the respondents. By March 2010, the researcher will gather all the necessary data. The data that will be gathered will be tabulate, evaluate, and present in the form of statistical figures to ensure the proper and correct results.
Statistical Analysis of Data The questionnaire that the researcher will use is in the form of a rating scale. The descriptive scales are: agree, undecided, and disagree. The responses of the students for each number will be presented by a check on the scale which they will choose. For valid and reliable interpretation of data, the following statistical techniques and methods will be use: Percentage: P= f/N x 100 Where: p = percentage f = frequency N= total number of respondents Weighted points WPM = 3n +2n + n N Where: WPM = weighted point mean n = number of responses N = total number of respondents
Scale Equivalent Agree Undecided Disagree
Weighted mean 2.34-3.00 1.67-2.33 1.00-1.66
To determine if there is a significant difference between the responses of the students from public and private schools, chi-square will be use: x² =∑ ( o-e )² e Where: x² = chi-square value o = observed frequency ∑ = summation e = expected frequency To complete the expected frequency, use the formula below: e = (Ct) (Rt) Gt Where: e = expected freedom Ct = column total Rt = row total Gt = grand total The degree of freedom will be compute in order to determine the significance of the chisquare. Df = (C-1) (R-1) Where: Df = degree of freedom C = Column R = row
