Interpretation:

INPUT- effectiveness of Virtual Laboratory

- 1st time exposure in Virtual Laboratory>expensive>insufficient
knowledge on the Performance of Nursing Student.

PROCESS- identify the difference in terms of learning when presented with

Virtual Laboratory static images > determine the score on a
test when presented with a VL> test to determine the
effectiveness of VL on the competency level of 3rd Year Nursing
Student.

OUTPUT- the students participants score higher and increase their performance
when presented with a Virtual Laboratory.

Methods of Research and Procedures

This chapter consists of methods of research and procedures which compose of

Research Design , Locale and Population of the Study, Descriptions of the Respondents,
Sampling Design, Data Gathering, Procedure, Instrumentation and Try-Out Phase and
Statistical Treatment of data will be mentioned.

Research Design:

The research design used for this study was called interview design because it
aims to capture a situation occurs on a moment. It also provides sufficient knowledge
about the nature of an objects and person. It will also help this study to provide
instrument for the measurements like survey form and interviewing. Here, we use a
questionnaire for measuring instrument in collecting data in the school and to determine
the effects of attention deficit on academic performance of 3rd Year Nursing Students
taking up RLE NCM 101 at Our Lady of Fatima University”

Locale and Population of the Study

After formulating Research Design & review literature which serves as the basis
of the study the researcher now is ready to identify the place of the study. This will help
to gain factual information that may obtain truthful identification of one’s own data.
The chosen Locale of this research for conducting the study is the Virtual
Laboratory located at San Rafael Hall Building of Our Lady of Fatima University Lagro
Quezon City. Fifty nursing students will be given a set of questionnaire to gain reliable
information regarding to this study.
Description of the Respondents

The respondents in this study are the selected Third Year Nursing Students of Our
Lady of Fatima University Quezon City. 40% of them are males and 60% of them are
females.

Sampling Design

The researcher used the non-probability sampling for the reason that, it does not
offer a pair oppurtunity to each member of the population to be included in the study
only selected people were be given a chance. Under the non-probability sampling it falls
either convenience sampling or purposive sampling. In convenience sampling, the
respondents may be the nearest people, friends, or available persons. And in purposive
sampling a deliberate selection of individuals may be done.
Respondents were chosen by the researchers to give survey form and
questionnaire on specific respondents that will supply us the needed information.
Researchers will be giving survey forms and questionnaires to students who presented
with Virtual Laboratory.

Data Gathering Procedures

The survey forms and the interview are the only sources of data. Before
distributing the survey forms to the students of Our Lady of Fatima University, the
researcher asked permission slip, immediately distributed the questionnaire at non-
probability sampling, the questionnaire in the survey form are about the personal
information activities performanced at the selected 3rd Year Nursing Students with the
used of Virtual Laboratory and what is the effect of this not only on the learning potential
but also on the competency level of Nursing Students.
Instrumentation and Try-Out Phase

The instruments to used are the survey forms and letter approval. The
questionnaire will be filled by the selected 3rd year Nursing Students. The letter of
approval serves as the permission in conducting research of Our lady of Fatima
University.

Statistical Treatment of Data

The research congregate and tabularize all data in order to obtain an accurate
information related to each element of the target population. Questionnaire were used as
the main tool for obtaining the data from the subjects. It consists of 50 questionnaires in
line with the effects of Virtual Laboratory on the Competency level of selected 3rd Year
Nursing Students.
The statistical treatment of data will used on this study is the percentage.
Distribution where:

P= (F/n) x 100
F= frequency
n= total number of the respondents
