RESEARCH METHODOLOGIES
This chapter presents the research design, respondents of the study, data
gathering procedure, data gathering instrument and statistical treatment of data.
Research design
The process of gathering and interpreting numerical data is known as
quantitative research. The quantitative research is selected due to easy and fast
data analysis, large sample size and fast and easy data collection. This research
design is suitable and more efficient for the study due to its high Replicability. It's
easier to prove the study.
According to Sidel et. al,(2018) Quantitative research generally uses large
numbers of participants. This is because it seeks to draw accurate conclusions
about, for example, how common a health problem is within a population, what
factors increase a person’s likelihood of developing a health problem (eg. weight,
gender, wealth, employment, education etc.), or whether a medicine or other
intervention is effective in treating a health problem. Without larger numbers of
people included in studies with these aims, conclusions are less likely to be accurate because they may not reflect how things actually are in the target
population. There are two types of quantitative design, descriptive and
experimental.
This study used quantitative research design since quantitative research
collects data from a larger size that may be presented easily using statistics and
numbers . Quantitative methods are used by researchers to observe situations
or events that affect people,which is the goal of this research. The researchers
decided to use descriptive research design since the goal of the research is to
identify how multimedia affects the academic skills of the students.
Respondents of the study
The respondents of the study were 80 ICT students from Pinagkawitan
Integrated National High School. The researchers came up with ICT students as
the respondents because they interact or use multimedia editing softwares
compared to the other strand. The study involves participants who are selected
and available Data gathering procedure
The researchers created questions based on the problems they want to
answer. The researchers collected data and related studies that may support the
study . The researcher's adviser reviewed and pointed out the flaws of the study.
Comments and suggestions of the adviser were considered to correct the flaws.
Questionnaires are prepared by the researchers to gather data and information
to the respondents. The respondents answered the questionnaire that gave the
researchers the data and information needed .After collecting data , the
researchers tally and create a presentation of data that is collected.
Data gathering instrument
The research conducted a study with the use of a survey questionnaire. A
questionnaire is a research instrument consisting of questions that the
researcher wants more information and data. It is a research instrument that
consists of a series of questions. The items for the questionnaire were made by
the researchers based on their knowledge and experience. The questionnaire is
divided into two parts. The first part consists of the respondents demographic
profile which includes name, age, sex and strand ,the respondents are given a
choice to fill this up or leave blank. The second part consists of questions that will
help determine how multimedia editing software affects the academic skills of the
respondents, the researchers used likert scale to determine how effective it is.
