Data Gathering Procedure

DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE
The method for collecting data that is described in the research study that is named
"The Impact of Family Issues on the Academic Success of Grade 12 Students" is an all-
encompassing approach that incorporates both quantitative and qualitative methodologies in
order to investigate the many facets of this topic. The purpose of this approach is to guarantee
that the study gives a comprehensive knowledge of the link between family concerns and
academic performance. This will allow for the construction of a school counseling program that
is well-informed.
Quantitative Data Collection
1. GPA Data Collection:

- A core component of the study is the compilation of the Grade Point Averages (GPAs) of all
students who have completed their senior year of high school throughout the course of the
previous three academic years. Through the use of the records management system of the
educational institution, this stage intends to build a reliable baseline measurement of academic
achievement over a considerable amount of time. The examination of this data will offer an early
overview of academic trends, with the possibility of revealing variations that might be correlated
with aspects relating to the family.
2. Standardized Test Scores:

- The results of standardized tests, such as the National Achievement Test (NAT) or the
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), will be collected in addition to the data on the student's grade
point average. An extra standardized criteria that may be used to evaluate the academic ability
and accomplishments of pupils is provided by these scores. The fact that these examinations are
standardized helps to reduce the amount of variation that is inherent in the computation of grade
point averages, which ultimately results in a more consistent evaluation of academic
achievement.
Qualitative Data Collection
1. Student Surveys:
- For the purpose of collecting self-reported data on family dynamics and the perceived
influence they have on academic achievement, surveys that are given to students in the twelfth
grade are of critical importance. The purpose of these surveys is to investigate a variety of
characteristics of family life, including family structure, parental participation, internal disputes
within the family, and levels of stress. The questions that will be asked in the survey will be
designed with the intention of generating thorough replies from the students, which will give
insight into their personal experiences and perceived realities.
2. Focus Group Discussions:
- Through the use of focus groups with a specific set of students in the twelfth grade, it will be
possible to conduct a more in-depth investigation into the subtle and complicated nature of
family difficulties. These conversations are going to be conducted in an open-ended manner,
with the goal of creating an atmosphere in which students are free to openly express their
experiences and perspectives. The use of this strategy will be of great assistance in gaining a
grasp of the many and subjective ways in which various family concerns impact the academic
life of kids.
3. Teacher Interviews:
- It will be possible to get an outsider's viewpoint on the influence that family problems have
on kids via the use of semi-structured interviews with instructors. Teachers are able to give
insights regarding changes in student behavior, levels of involvement in academic activities, and
the obstacles that children encounter as a result of their home settings via the interactions and
observations that they have on a regular basis.
4. School Counselor Interviews:

- The viewpoint of the school counselor is very important because of the role that they play in
directly addressing student concerns, especially those that are connected to the family dynamic.
The school counselor will be interviewed in order to shed light on the sorts of family difficulties
that are frequent among students in the 12th grade as well as the efficiency of the support
services that are currently available. For the purpose of contextualizing the data received from
students and instructors, their perspectives will be of great use.
Data Analysis
1. Quantitative Analysis:
- The primary objective of the statistical study will be to investigate the potential relationships
between academic success, as measured by GPA and standardized test scores, and familial
factors. The present study will include the identification of patterns and trends that may indicate
a substantial association between the variables.
2. Qualitative Analysis:
- Thematic analysis will be used to analyze the qualitative data obtained from surveys, focus
groups, and interviews. This methodology demonstrates proficiency in recognizing and
analyzing repetitive themes and patterns. This will facilitate the extraction of significant insights
from the narratives and debates, so contributing to a full comprehension of the students'
experiences.
Ethical Considerations
The ethical issues have utmost importance in this study, particularly due to the participation of
individuals under the age of majority and the delicate nature of the topic. It is essential to
prioritize the establishment of informed consent, preservation of confidentiality, and
acknowledgment of participants' prerogative to withdraw in order to uphold ethical standards in
research. Moreover, it is essential to get parental agreement for those who are below the age of
18, since this constitutes a critical measure. The proper management of data security and
confidentiality will be rigorously followed, ensuring the protection and preservation of the
privacy and accuracy of the collected information.
In brief, the suggested methodology for data collection is carefully designed to comprehensively
examine the influence of familial matters on the academic achievement of twelfth-grade pupils.
The research seeks to integrate quantitative measurements and qualitative insights in order to
provide a strong foundation for the creation of a school counseling program that is specifically
designed to tackle these difficulties effectively.
