RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter will show the research design, the sampling techniques,

research instrument data gathering procedures and statistical treatment used in

interpreting the results of the survey questions.

Research Design

The study will adopt a descriptive research design that will aim to discover

the work readiness of 2018 ABM students. Direct survey is going to be conducted

to gather the needed information.

The descriptive research will attempt to measure, explain and interpret

conditions of the present “what is”. The purpose of a descriptive research will be to

examine a phenomenon that is occurring at a specific place(s) and time. A

descriptive research will be concerned with conditions, practices, structures,

differences or relationship that exist, opinions held process that are going on or

trends that are evident.

Population and Sampling Techniques

The survey population will be comprised of 2018 ABM Students in Selected

School in San Pablo City, Laguna. The study will be focusing only on the readiness

of the students in accounting, financial and basic skills. Based on the list that the
researchers will made for the expected population, out of few schools in San Pablo

City, Laguna, they are able to get 30 respondents for each school for the reasons

that we will be using random sampling that is why there is no need of getting all of

them as a respondents.

The researchers plan to conduct a personal interview with video recording, if

necessary, with the student and at the same time another setoff written

questionnaire will be given to the respondents.

The researchers will be using a complete enumeration technique in

conducting the study.

Research Procedure

The researchers will ask for the permission to conduct the study from 2018

ABM students. The researchers will made questionnaire that will be used for

gathering the needed data. The data that will be collected from this will be

tabulated, organized and group accordingly. After organizing the results, the

researchers will analyze and interpret the result of the survey to generate a useful

conclusion.

Research Instrument

The main instrument that will be used by the researchers is a survey

questionnaire and this will be supplied to ABM students in San Pablo City, Laguna.
The survey questionnaire will ask for socio-demographic information and will

consist of questions to evaluate their job readiness.

Statistical Tools

Frequency count this measures the number of times that an event occurs.

Percentage this expresses the relative frequency of survey responses and other

data.

Pearson Product Moment Correlation this is to determine the strength of

relationship between the foundational skills to work readiness and work

competencies to work readiness.

Data Gathering Instrument

The contradicting views about the senior high graduates as job-ready will

pave way to the researchers to test the job readiness of students on the small

portion of Laguna.

The researchers will ask for permission from the selected schools to

conduct the necessary survey. The survey will be in a written form and will be

distributed to the subjects on their available time. The questionnaires will be given

back to us and the answered contents will be deemed confidential.
