CHAPTER III

METHODOLOGY

This chapter provides a description of the method used in the study. It presents the
research design, research locale, sample and sampling technique used in research
instrument, procedure and statistical analysis.

Research Design

A descriptive study was used to conduct this study. As widely accepted the
descriptive methods of research is a fact-finding study that involves adequate and
accurate interpretation of findings. A descriptive survey was selected because it
provides an accurate portrayal or account of the characteristics, for example abilities
and knowledge of a particular individual situation or group. Descriptive study is under
taken in order to ascertain and be able to describe a certain present condition, relatively
the method Is appropriate to this study to see the objectives of this study which is to
determine The factors Affecting Struggling Mathematics Subject Among the Grade 10
Students of Justice Eliezer Delos Santos National High School. The desire to acquire
first hand data from the respondents so as to formulate rational and sound conclusions
and recommendation for the study.

In this study the information will collected through self-administer questionnaire

distributed personally in the subjects by the researchers.

Reasearch Locale

The study will be conducted in Justice Eliezer Delos Santos National High School,
Division of city school in Valenzuela city, National Capital Region where the researchers
in currently students in Ugong Senior High School. The respondents are Grade 10
students with a probability of learning about the factors affecting struggling mathematics
subject among the junior high school of Justice Eliezer Delos santos National High
School Sy: 2018-2019.

Sample

At the time of the study are 393 enrolled in Grade 10 of Justice Eliezer Delos santos
National High School Sy:2018-2019. The target respondents will be composed of 100
random sample for Grade 10 students from the fourteen (14) students will be selected
from each section.

Instrumentation

The instrument used is a self-administered survey questionnaire to gather the

needed data. The draft of the questionnaire is come from the researcher’s reading
previous studies review of related literature published and unpublished thesis relevant
to the study. Validity is done to ensure that all possible items would used in measuring
the concept under study are included in order to established the validity of the
instrument, the researcher sought opinions of experts for further enhancement of the
student.

The questionnaire is made up of two parts: First part is is for the profile of the
respondents when included the following age,gender& general weighted Average.

Second part is the question proper that covered the extent of the following. The Factors
Affecting Struggling Mathematics Subject Among the Junior high school of Justice
Eliezer Delos Santos National High School Sy: 2018-2019.

For instance, statement describing the situations or issues pertaining was toned
down to accommodate the knowledge preparedness of the respondents, open ended
options to accommodate to free matted views related to the topics or issues.

In this way, the instrument is authorized to obtain valid responses of the students.
Preference for the use of the structured questionnaire is premised on several research
assumptions such as a.) Lost of being least expensive means of gathering data, b.)
avoidance of personal bias, c.) less pressure for immediate response; and giving the
respondents a great feeling anonymity. In the end, if encouraged open responses to
sensitive issues and hand in addition the instrument was validated by few consultant
and former persons before it land on the study.

Procedure

The researcher gathered the dat first by asking permission from the school principal
and focal person where the study will be conducted

The questionnaire will be administered personally to the grade 10 students.

The grade 10 students are required to accomplish and return the questionnaire the
same day –upon collecting of the questionnaire. The respondents organized and
subjected to statistical statement.

Statistical analysis

The data gathered from the questionnaire were collated, tallied, summarize, and
treated statistically.

Font statistical tools were utilized in the treatments of the data in order to answer the
major as well specific. Sub-problem the data that were gathered were treated with
following.

1. Percentage- This was used to answer statement of the problem number

one (1) to analyze the profile of the grade 10 respondents and statement of
the problem number three (3) to analyze their academic performance.

Formula:

p= Percentage

f= frequency

n= total number of respondents

2. Weighted mean and descriptive ratings- This was used to answer

statement of the problem number two (2) to present the factor affecting
struggling mathematics subject of the students respondents.

Formula:

3. I test for corrected samples- This will be use to test the significant
relationship between the factors affecting struggling mathematics subject
