RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGIES

This chapter presents the research design and methodology that was employed in

the study. It also presents the discussion of the sources of data, the respondents, the

research instruments, data gathering procedures and the statistical tools utilized in the

treatment of the data gathered.

Research Method

This study utilized the mix-method, research exercise descriptive analysis as it is

corresponding to the nature of variable. Mix-method were utilized as it uses quantitative

method in the study for statistical treatment such as mean, frequency count, and

percentage. In addition, qualitative method for interpreting the participants responses in

the survey checklist and the documentary and thematic analysis were used to describe

and interpret the responses of our participants during the conduct of interview. According

to Rawat (2021), descriptive analysis is the type of analysis of data that helps describe

and show summarize data points in a constructive way such that patterns might fulfill

every condition of the data.

In this research, participants were able to point out the effect of parental

involvement. The researcher's questionnaire was crafted carefully to identify what skill of

the participants should be developed.

The researchers obtained the primary data from the answers we gathered through

doing direct communication with the participants. There are two (2) research instruments

that were utilized for this study, namely, questionnaire for the interview and survey

checklist. By applying these methods, we were able to craft the answers or data from

different perspectives of the participants to cultivate better understanding of information

to successfully address the challenges encountered by the Senior High learners.

Meanwhile, the secondary data that are presented in this study were obtained from books,

articles, textbooks, websites, or a scholar's interpretation related to this study.

Participants

The participants of this study were the students under Senior High level in Itaran

National High School. These students were chosen since they are the learners who

struggle the most in having a parental support. Therefore, these students know the most

of what are the challenges and difficulties they encounter in aiming for parental

involvement for their improvement n academic performance, which makes them qualified

to be the participants of the study. This study utilized survey checklist and questionnaire,

since all Senior High students and the researchers were collaboratively work to address

the challenges encountered by the student.

Instruments

The research instruments employed for collecting essential data from participants

consist of structured questionnaire for interview and survey checklist.

collection, allowing the researchers to systematically gather information for the study

while maintaining the accuracy and reliability in the research process. The indicators for

the activities, learning resources used, types of texts used, assessment, strategies, and

hinders in conducting research

The second instrument was a survey checklist. This instrument form of the survey

checklist serves as a valuable resource for researchers to ensure completeness and

accuracy in their survey instruments, contributing to the overall validity and reliability of

the research study. This method really helps us to figure out the possible results of the

study

Data Gathering Procedure

The study entailed a series of data gathering activities. The researcher gathered the

data through survey checklist and questionnaire given to the Senior High learner students

of Itaran National High School The data were tallied and organized for the statistical

computations Analysis, interpretation, and discussion of results were also prepared. The

gathered data for the difficulties were considered through documentary analysis

Conceptualization of the Research Problem. The focus of the study was conceptualized

based on the existing problem that mainly concerns the Senior high students about the

impact of parent engagement on their study.

Approval of the Research Title. The research was identified, conceptualized, and

presented to the research panel for approval during the proposal. Before the study was
conducted, permission to conduct the study was secured from the office of the school

principal, research teacher, and the research adviser.

Preparation of the Research Instruments. The research instruments that were used in

the conduct of the study was a structured survey checklist with indicators on the factors

that affect the student’s behavior in their academic performance

Administration of the Survey. After the approval of the request to conduct the study,

the researchers personally administered the survey to the students with informed consent.

Writing of the Research Report. After the organization of the data, analyze, and

interpreting the gathered data, the researchers prepared the research report that has gone

through several revisions and improvements to be finally prepared for the presentation in

front of the panels

Analysis of Data. Data analysis is the science of examining data to conclude the

information and to make decisions of expand knowledge on various subjects. This

process happens to obtain precise conclusions to help achieve goals.

This research will employ descriptive analysis. Descriptive analysis is the process

of using current and historical data to identify trends and relationships.

Statistical Treatment The statistical tools that were utilized in the statistical treatment

were frequency count, weighted mean, and percentage

Frequency count is simply the counting of the responses in the survey. This was used to

determine the weighted mean

point by its weight and summing those products and dividing the value sum of the weight

x value products by the sum of the weights. The formula is shown below

Percentage is calculated by taking the frequency in the category divided by the total

number of participants and multiplying by 100%.

X=

Where X = weighted mean

f = frequency

x= weight assigned

n= Total number of participants
