METHODOLOGY
This chapter discusses the research design and methodology, population
and locale of the study, data gathering procedures and treatment of data which
will be utilized by the researcher in conducting the study.
Research Design
This study used the descriptive research method which is designed for the
researchers to gather information about present existing conditions needed in the
chosen field of study. This method enables the researchers to interpret the
stheoretical meaning of the findings and hypothesis development for further
studies. Descriptive research involves the description, recording, analysis and
interpretation of the present nature, composition or processes
of phenomena which focuses on prevailing conditions, or how a person, group or
thing behaves or functions in the present (Calderon, 2012). The researcher is
descriptive since its primary purpose is to describe, relate, interpret and analyze
the Factors affecting the Interest and Motivation to study of the Junior High
School Learners at Lipit National High School.
Source of Data
The study used the enumeration of population of the Junior High School
Learners at Lipit National High School. The number of respondents are (80)

coming from the Junior High School Learners which are the Grade 7, Grade 8,
Grade 9 and Grade 10.

Grade 10 20
Total: 80
Instrumentation and Data Collection
The researcher generated the questionnaire based on literature and
articles. O n t h e f i r s t p a r t , t h e r e s e a r c h e r will use a four-point Likert
scale: Strongly Agree (SA), Agree (A), Disagree (D), Strongly Disagree (SD),
distribute to the following aspects: Facilities, School Structure, Teacher and
Administrator, Classroom Atmosphere and Personal Values.
The researcher asked permission prior to the administration of the final
copies of the questionnaire. A letter of request to conduct the study will be
submitted to the School Principal Administrator for approval.
The gathering of data will be made through the collection and analyses of
data that provide by the respondents who will accomplish the given
questionnaire, the researcher will schedule it during the respondents break time

and it will be properly done in their respective school of assignment for orderly
floating of questionnaires. The retrieved questionnaire will be tallied and
organized through the Microsoft Excel. The anonymity of data will be maintained
in this study. All data will be handled with utmost confidentiality.
Tools for Data Analysis
The information collected, the questionnaire will be collated, analyzed and
interpreted, which will provide answers to the problems embodied in this study.
Average Weighted Mean (AWM) will be used to determine the Factors
affecting the Interest and Motivation to study in terms of the following aspects:
Facilities, School Structure, Teacher and Administration, Classroom Atmosphere
and Personal Values.
The level of Factors affecting the Interest and Motivation to study is
interpreted as follows.
Scale Statistical Descriptive Equivalent
4 3.26 – 4.00 Strongly Agree (SA)
3 2.51 – 3.25 Agree (A)
2 1.76 – 2.50 Disagree (D)
1 1.00 – 1.75 Strongly Disagree (SD)
Statistical Treatment of Data
The profile of the respondents was determined through frequency counts
and percentage wherein the following formula was used:

100 %
N
Wherein: n = total number of the respondents of the certain profile .
N = total number of the respondents.
To determine the Factors affecting the Interest and Motivaation to study of
the learners at Lipit National High School the Average Weighted Mean was used
with the following formula:
4 ( f 4 ) 3( f 3) 2 ( f 2 ) 1( f 1)
AWM N
Wherein: N = total number of the respondents
f (4) = total score on Strongly Agree
f (3) = total score on Agree
f (2) = total score on Disagree
f (1) = total score on Strongly Disagree
The weighted mean values are interpreted using the following scale:
3. 26 - 4.00 = Strongly Agree
2.51 - 3.25 = Agree
1.76 - 2.50 = Disagree
1.00- 1.75 = Strongly Disagree
The same statistical tool was used to determine the Factors affecting the
Interest and Motivation to study.

The weighted mean values are interpreted using the following scales:
3.25 – 4.00 = Strongly Agree
2.50 – 3.24 = Agree
1.75 – 2.49 = Disagree
1.00 – 1.74 = Strongly Disagree
At OLMIS, we make a difference as we observe LEARNING with
VALUES.
