Research Methodology
This chapter will focus on the discussion of the research methods
and procedures adhered to by the researcher in order to answer
systematically the specific problems posed for investigation. Specifically the
research design, local of the study, respondents of the study, data
gathering procedure, data gathering instrument and statistical tool will be
used for the accurate data analysis and interpretation were explain in this
chapter.
Research Design
What is aResearch Design
It is the overall plan, structure or strategy that guides a research project
from its preparation to final analysis of data. For quantitative research design
it is either descriptive, correlation, experimental and quasi-experimental
Steps in Writing a Research Design (It may written in only 3 short
paragraphs)
1. State the design use in the study (descriptive, correlation, etc.)
2. Define and discuss the research design that you are using.
3. Give the justification why you have chosen the identified research design.
7.
Sample Research Design
ResearchDesign
The study will use the quantitative method of research where the researcher
adopted the descriptive research design.
Descriptive research that will be used in the investigation as basis of gathering, analyzing,
classifying and tabulating data about prevailing conditions , practices, belief, processes, trends and
cause and effect relationship and then making and accurate and adequate interpretation about such
data with the aid of statistical methods. It involves some type of comparison and attempts to discover
existing relationship, manipulative variables so that the relationship of research problem can test the
study (Hubbard, 2018)
Descriptive study is considered appropriate for the study because the said research design
is really suitable in this study for a reason that this research would like to collect data to analyze and
asess the level of familiarity of online teaching among criminology instructors in Metro Manila
College.
Research Locale isa term that refers to specified area and or subject that is
being studied
Writing a Research Locale
1. Identify the local by its name only if you have sought permission;
2. State the location of you study;
3. Describe the area in terms of its geographic location ( up to city or
municipality level, unless contradicted by the institution.
4. Provide a satellite image of the location of the study where the
respondents can be found
5. Discuss the details about the locale that relates it to the study focus.
10.
Sample
Research Locale
The studywill be conducted in Metro Manila College. It is a private
institution of hiher learning offering basic education courses and college
dgree courses like Bachelor of Science in Criminology
MMC is also authorized to offer post graduate education courses
like MA in EDucation, MS in Crimiology and Ph D in Developmental
Education.
During this time of Pandemic face to face classes is not suitable due
to the danger of mass transmition of COVID 19 as a deadly disease. Level
of Familiarity in the use of Online teaching to BS CRiminology Students is
timely research investigation in order to come up with an effective
classroom instructions.
Respondents of theStudy is the Population and Samples of the study
Population - refers to the entire group that you will be used to draw conclusion of the study while
sample is the specific group the researcher will use in collecting the research data.
Sampling Method – is the technique used to select the individual members of a specific group.
Basis in Choosing a Sampling Method
1. Appropriateness of the technique to the study being conducted ( if the study requires interviewing
costumers then the appropriate sampling method should be Convenience Sampling)
2. The available respondents ( If there are very few respondents, the researcher should use
Purposive Sampling. If there is a large number of respondents, the researcher should use Simple
Random Sampling)
13.
3. After identifyingthe needed population sampling follow the steps in writing the Respondents of the
Study;
a. Write the brief background of the respondents;
b. Total number of the respondents;
c. How were the sample chosen; and
c. Reason why the researcher chosen the respondents.
14.
Sample of Respondentsof the Study
Respondents of the Study
The researcher will utilize instructors in the College of Criminology to assess the Level of
Familiarity in the use of On line Teaching among Instructors in the College of Criminology.
A total of sixty eight (68) teachers as the main respondents of the study were selected using
the simple random sampling. They are described in terms of sex, age, position, title, length of service,
and highest educational attainment.
These sixty eight (68) teachers that will be used as a respondents of the study were chosen
from the Instructords of MMC College.

Validation ofInstrument
To check the validity of the items included in instrument and the instrument itself, the
researcher presented the instrument to his adviser for comments and suggestions.
The researcher also sought the help of the experts as a way of soliciting suggestions
and validation of the data gathering instrument relative to the substantiality, soundness and
reasonability of all items in the instrument. To further attain the acceptability of the
instrument, it was also shown to the dean and other professional lecturers for this additional
inputs.
Steps in Writingthe Data Gathering Procedure
1. Narrate the data gathering process after instrument has been
created and approved.
2. Discuss the various stages and procedures that were included in the
data gathering process (securing of permit, etc.)
3. Include limitations encountered during the gathering process
4. Discuss the distribution and recovery of the instrument.

24.
Steps in writingStatistical Tool (Statistical Treatment of Data oy Data Processing and Statistical
Tool)
1. White the Introductory statement;
2. Present the statistical formulas that the researcher intent to use. Description of the
variables
may be included in the identification of the formula;
3. Equivalent verbal interpretation of values like score or numeric shall also be included
25.
Statistic Treatment ofData
The following statistical tool for the interpretation of result according to sub-problems is used
1. Frequency , Percentage, and rank. It is the actual response to a specific item/question in the
questionnaire where the respondent ticks his choice.This was use to answer sub-problem
number 1
Formula:
P = f
X 100
N
Where
p- percentage
f – frequency of response
N – total number of respondents
26.
2.Weighted Mean.This wasused to get the average frequency of the responses on each weighted item on the
Professional Development Program of Teacher with respect to the different competencies.The 5-points likert
scale was used to evaluate the result.This was used to answer sub-problem number 2.
Formula: ∑ƒx
X =
N
Where:
X = the arithmetic mean
X = weight given to each other response
f = number of responses
N = number of cases
27.
Likert Scale. Theassessment on the teaching competencies , the following scale was used
Legend:
Scale Range Verbal Interpretation
5 4.20 – 5.00 Very Great Extent (VGE)
4 3.40 – 4.19 Great Extent (GE)
3 2.60 – 3.39 Moderately Extent (ME)
