Data Collection Procedure

Upon the validation of the research-made questionnaire, the researchers will formally write

a letter to the School Principal of Marcelo H. Del Pilar National High School and the respective

class advisers for their consent to conduct the study and gather data from the selected Grade 11

students of their school. The researchers will also provide waivers to the participants, assuring

them that their information, including their names and sections, will be treated confidentially.

Once approved and signed, the researchers will perform interviews through the use of the

online messaging application, Messenger. Interviews will be administered through its features

such as video calls, audio calls, and chat messages. The respondents are allowed to select which

method will be used according to their preference. With the use of the semi-structured interview

guide, the researchers will facilitate interviews to gather desired data and information. Each item

will also be discussed in detail to ensure that the data gathered is accurate.

Data Analysis

The study will be using thematic network analysis to analyze the data gathered. According

to Boyatzis (1998), thematic analysis is a kind of qualitative analysis. It is used to analyze

classifications and show data-related themes (patterns). It presents the data in great detail and deals

with a wide range of topics through interpretations. Thematic Analysis is widely recognized as

the best method for any study that seeks to discover patterns through
interpretations. It adds a systematic approach to data analysis (Marks and Yardley 2004). The

researchers will be adapting the steps presented by Jack Caulfield (2019) in an article entitled

“How to Do Thematic Analysis | A Step-by-Step Guide & Examples.”

Thematic analysis can be done in a variety of ways, but the most popular method involves

six steps: familiarization, coding, generating themes, reviewing themes, defining and naming

themes, and writing up. In the first step, the researchers will get to know their data by

transcribing audio, reading through the material and taking notes, and familiarizing themselves

with the data they gathered. The researchers will then code the data by highlighting areas of the

text that are typically phrases or sentences and creating shorthand labels, or "codes," to explain

their content. The researchers will collect all of the data into groupings specified by code, and

using these codes, the researchers will obtain a concise overview of the main points and common

meanings that emerge throughout the data. Next, the researchers will search for trends and start

developing themes. Since themes are often broader than codes, the researchers will review them

to ensure that they are relevant and accurate representations of the data. After generating and

reviewing themes, the researchers will then define and name the themes. Defining themes

includes considering exactly what the researchers mean by each topic and how it aids the

understanding of the data while naming themes include coming up with a suitable and simple

name for each topic.
