The Conceptual Framework and Research Hypotheses: After This Discussion, You Are Expected To Have The Ability To

Here are the definitions of key terms used in the conceptual framework: Stress tolerance - The ability to withstand stressful or difficult conditions, as operationally defined by the total score in the Perceived Stress Scale. Academic performance in Mathematics - The final grade earned in General Mathematics, as indicated in the students' report card. Demographic profile - The personal attributes of the student-respondents which include sex, SHS strand, and final grade in General Mathematics. Significance relationship - A correlation or association between two variables that is statistically meaningful or unlikely to have occurred by chance, as determined by appropriate statistical treatment of data. Null hypothesis - The hypothesis that there is no significant relationship between the variables.

SHS Students’ Social Media Usage and Their Attention Span in Class

Conceptual Framework
Figure 1 below illustrates the conceptual framework of the research. The paradigm presents the
variables that will be considered in the research.

SHS students’ Social Media Usage


a. Forms of social media SHS students’ Attention
b. Frequency of social media use Span in class
c. Mode of social media use

Fig. 1 The Conceptual Framework of the Study

The level of SHS students’ social media usage will be described in the research in terms of three
sub-variables: (a) forms of social media; (b) frequency of social media use; and (c) mode of social
media use. In the research, this variable is seen to possess a hypothesized relationship with SHS
students’ attention span in class. This hypothesized relationship is represented by the two-headed
arrow connecting both variables.

Research Hypotheses
Definition of Terms
A hypothesis is a prediction of the possible outcomes of a study (Fraenkel &
Research Wallen, 2009).
Hypotheses are statements in quantitative research in which the investigator
Hypothesis makes a prediction or a conjecture about the outcome of a relationship among
attributes or characteristics (Creswell, 2012)

Question: Is there a significant relationship


between the Grade 11 student-respondents’
availability of internet connection at home and
their average sleeping time?
Null Hypothesis: There is no significant
relationship between the Grade 11 student-
respondents’ availability of internet connection
at home and their average sleeping time?
RQ: Does a SHS student’s academic performance in Math have
any association with his/her stress tolerance?

This study generally aims to determine if a SHS students’ academic performance in Mathematics
have any association with his/her stress tolerance.

Specifically, this study shall seek answers to the following questions:


1. What is the demographic profile of Grade 11 students of DLSAU in terms of:
a. sex?;
b. SHS strand?; and
c. final grade in General Mathematics?
2. What is the level of stress tolerance of Grade 11 students of DLSAU?
3. Is there a significant relationship between the DLSAU Grade 11 students’ final grade in General
Mathematics and their level of stress tolerance?

8
RQ: What traits of a professor do SHS students consider important?

This study generally aims to identify the traits or characteristics of a professor that SHS students believe are
important.

Specifically, this study shall seek answers to the following questions:


1. What is the demographic profile of SHS students of DLSAU in terms of:
a. sex?;
b. grade level?; and
c. SHS strand?
2. What is the degree of importance of the following traits of a professor according to SHS students of DLSAU:
a. physical appearance?;
b. intelligence?;
c. humor?;
d. strictness?;
e. communication skills?
3. Is there a significant difference between the male students’ preferred professor traits and that of female students?

RQ: Can a new packaging improve the selling power of <product>?

This study generally aims to determine if a new packaging can improve the selling power of <product>.

Specifically, this study shall seek answers to the following questions:


1. What is are the packaging preferences for <generic product> of DLSAU students in terms of:
a. color?;
b. material?;
c. Shape?; and
d. size?
2. What is the level of selling power of <product>
a. Prior to the change in packaging?
b. With the new packaging?
3. Is there a significant difference between the level of selling power of <product> prior to change in
packaging and with the new packaging?

Variables and sub-variables or values in conceptual framework are defined,
Definition of except very common variables like grade level, gender, school type where the
values are indicated in the framework itself.
Terms
Format:
The following terms are defined as used in the study: (followed by list
of terms with conceptual and operational definitions, if appropriate)
Conceptual definition – original author’s qualitative definition.
Terms defined operationally are variables measured using instruments,
e.g., test or rating scale.
