METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the research method used, the respondents, the
instrumentation, administration of instruments, and the procedure of
analysis.
RESEARCH DESIGN
The researcher utilized the descriptive method using qualitative and
quantitative
quantitat ive approaches in gathering information about the present condition.
Krathwohl, D. R., (2009), defined descriptive research as a purposive
process of gathering, analyzing, classifying, and tabulating data about
prevailing condition, practices, beliefs, processes,

processes, trends, and cause-effect
cause-effect
relationships and then making adequate and accurate interpretation about
such data with or without the aid of statistical methods.
A descriptive type of research according to Best (1993), involves the
collection of data to answer questions concerning the current status of the
subjects in the study. It is designed to gather information or conditions
existing at a particular period of time. The focus of the whole process is on
the discovery of theory on comparison or contrast of the findings.

The qualitative style is utilized to make a descriptive detail of the data
gathered. It is a purposive process of gathering, analyzing, classifying and
tabulating information about prevailing conditions, beliefs, processes, trends,
cause-effect relationships and then making adequate and accurate and
interpretations about such data with the aid of statistical method. It needs
smaller but focused samples in which data are categorized into patterns that
are used as primary basis for organizing and reporting results.
Qualitative research involves the examination, analysis and
interpretation of observations for the purpose of discovering underlying
meanings and patterns of relationships, including classifications of types of
phenomena and entities, in a manner that does not involve mathematical
models (Krathwohl, D. R., 2009).
Quantitative research gathers data in numerical form which can be
put into categories, or in rank order, or measured in units of
measurement. This type of data can be used to construct graphs and tables
of raw data. Quantitative research is a formal, objective, systematic process
in which numerical data are used to obtain information about the world.
38
This research method is used: to describe variables; to examine
relationships among variables; to determine cause-and-effect interactions
between variables. (Burns & Grove, 2005)
SAMPLING TECHNIQUE
The researcher used the random sampling technique. For this
purpose, the total number of population of the NEU students from all levels
will have to be determined separately from the total number of NEU workers,
staffs and teachers. An equal percentage will be taken from each level of the
students and from the workers. To exact a more accurate result, a .05 error
of margin will be adopted.
RESPONDENTS
The principal respondent will be the NEU students, from elementary to
Junior and Senior High School, College and Graduate Students, Teachers,
Employees and Staff, full time and part time selected randomly.
39
INSTRUMENTATION
In gathering the data relevant to the study, the researcher used
structured questionnaire as a survey instrument to elicit the pertinent
information from the principal respondents.
Questionnaire
The questionnaire is the most important instrument used in the study.
It is the major tool used by the researcher in gathering the significant data
from the respondents. The instrument was designed in a simple and clear
manner. The questionnaire was divided into two parts. Part I contained the
profile information on the respondents’ gender, age, monthly income,
capacity to save and consume. Part II is on viable to establish a thrift bank
for the NEU Community along deposit, interest on deposit, interest on loans
and loans rated on both on a five point scale of very important (5), important
(4), somewhat important (3), less important (2), and not important (1).
Construction
The instrument is an electronic sample of research based from the
readings cited in Chapter 2. The researcher submitted the first draft of the
questionnaire to the adviser for comments and suggestions. Then other two
