Chapter 3
METHODOLOGY

This chapter presents the following: research design, research local,

research respondents, research instruments, the data gathering procedure, and

the plan for data analysis.

Research Design

This study will utilize the design of the descriptive-quantitative research design

which focuses in determining the level of negative effect of racism to the mental

health for senior high school among grade 11 and Grade 12 students Survey

questionnaire will be utilize in this study to gather and collect the responses of

the respondents.

Research Local

The locale of this study will be the school of Sangali National High School

Incorporated located at Sangali, Zamboanga City. It is headed by their Teacher-

In-Charge Mrs. Jayraldine D. Quiaoit. This is a public school, they are many

students enrolled here, and this school has to offer junior and senior high school.

Research Respondents

The study will use of pupils-respondents from Sangali National High School. The

respondents are those who are officially enrolled in Grade 11 and Grade 12.

Research Instrument

The questionnaire was used as the main data-gathering instrument. The

Instrument to be prepared focused on answering the statement of the problem.

The negative effect of racism. The questionnaire contains of ten (10) questions.

The questionnaires will be distributed to the respondent.

The data gathering instrument was structured as a scale ranging from 1-4.

Where in the (1) is strongly disagree, (2) is disagree, (3) is agree and the last one

is (4) strongly agree. This legend will help the researchers to analysis the result

of conducting date-gathering.

Data Gathering Procedure

The researchers personally administered the research instruments to the

respondents. They conferred and discussed the significance of the study and

accomplished the distribution of the instruments properly.

The respondents were given 15 minutes to accomplish the forms to prevent

them from giving hasty responses. The researchers went from one section to

another on collecting the accomplished questionnaires.

After the questionnaires have been accomplished, the results were tallied and

tabulated. These data became the bases of analysis and interpretation.

Population and Sampling Procedures

1.1 Population

Population of the study can be defined as the population to which a researcher

wants to generalize the results of the study, Population may involve a larger

group of people, institution or things that has one or more characteristics in

common on which a study focuses. It consists of all cases of individuals or

elements that fit a certain specification (Kenton, 2019). The population for this

study will include the senior high school students of Sangali.

1.2 Sampling

Sampling involves the selection of a number of study units from a defined study

population. Researchers are encouraged to take as big sample as possible so as

to be confident that if another sample of the same size were selected, findings

from the two samples would be similar to a high degree. The study sample will be

15 Grade 11 students and 15 Grade 12 students.

1.3 Sampling Technique

The Sample we use is Convenience sampling technique is inexpensive, simple, and has

readily accessible subjects. It is required of the researcher to explain how the sample

would vary from the one that was chosen at random. A description of the topics that

might be left out during the selection process or the subjects that are overrepresented
 15

in the sample is also important Ilker E; Sulaiman A; Rukayya S. (2015). This study using

convenience sample because it's fits to our research and easy to use.

Validity and Reliability

1.1 Validity

According to Middleton (2019), "test validity" refers to whether the test actually

assesses the variables it is designed to. Expert evaluation and pilot testing will be used

to determine the validity of the instruments used for data collection in this project. In

regard to the study topic, a pilot study will be conducted, and any necessary corrections

or revisions will be made. The pilot study's findings won't be incorporated into the

study's final conclusions.

1.2 Reliability

The degree to which a test consistently and steadily measures whatever it is measuring

is known as reliability. The same exam must be given to the same respondents twice

with little time passing between each test in order to be reliable. A correlation

coefficient between the two sets of outcomes in this investigation will be computed.

Only dependability coefficients of 0.6 or above will be considered acceptable.

Ethical Consideration

Before collecting data in the field, the researcher will ask permission from the Principal

of the School, where we will conduct the research. The researcher will ensure that all
 16

respondents voluntarily participate in the study and that the information collected will

be kept confidential.

Statistical Treatment

This study to know the formula of solving of interpretation of data, the researcher

will employ the following statistical treatment. The Percentage, Weighted Mean

and T-test are the tools use to interpret data.

1. Percentage

This will employ to determine the frequency counts and percentage

distribution of personal related variables of the respondents.

Formula:

%==× 100

% is the percentage

F is the Frequency

N is the total number of respondents

100 is a constant value

2. Average Weighted Mean

This will be use to determine the assessment of the respondents with regards to

their personal profiles,

Formula:
 17

X=Fx/N

X is the weighted mean

F is the frequency

x is the weight of each item

N is the number of cases
