METHODOLOGY

This chapter deals on the research method and procedure use in this study. It

includes the research design, population and sampling, research instrument validity and

reliability of the instrument, data gathering procedure and statistical treatment.

Research Design

The researchers used the survey technique which is under descriptive research

design. Survey technique, requires gathering of facts that requires sufficient and

accurate interpretation. This technique is used to collect demographic data about

respondent’s behavior, beliefs, opinions, interests and the like and then the gathered

data are analyzed, organized, and interpreted.

The total population of this study is 133 students (33) seniors (42) junior (21)

sophomores ( 37) freshmen.

The Research Environment

Tomas del Rosario College is a private college int eh Philippines. From 1950 to the first

half of 1954, the school started renting an old building situated at Zuleta street, on the

lot now occupied by the RECAR building. The school offers both primary and secondary

levels and began offering tertiary level in 1980. It was foermly known as Tomas Del

Rosario Academy, before becoming a collge in 1994.

Tomas del Rosario College is the only PACU-COA level II accredited private school in

Bataan. It currently offers courses in the fields of nursing, accounting, management,

marketing, baking, education, and computer science.

At present, Tomas del Rosario College offers elementary, secondary, and tertiary education. It has seven courses name, BS in Nursing, BS in Accountancy, BS in Business Administration, BS in Computer Science, BS in HRM, Bachelor of Elementary Education and Bachelor of Secondary Education.

Population and Sampling

Subjects for the study were selected from different courses at Tomas Del Rosario

College. In total, 100 students were surveyed. Participation from each student was

voluntary, without extra credit incentive or other rewards.

Research Instrument

The researchers used non-structured questionnaires in collecting the data in determining the effect of modern technology on BSBA students at Tomas del Rosario College, academic year 2015-2016. The questionnaire as designed by the researchers had included items culled from observations and interviews.

The questionnaire was divided into two parts. The first half was intended to determine the students perception of how modern technology affects them in their cognitive, psychomotor, psychosocial and in their attitude and behavior. The second portion was to determine their preferred modality used to enhance their academic performance.

Validity and Reliability of the Instrument

The initial draft of the questionnaire was submitted to the researchers advisor for corrections and suggestions. Several changes were made over the course of time to refine the questionnaire. Some items in the proposed draft were found irrelevant and therefore omitted. The revised questionnaire was validated by the respondents, the students of the BSBA department of Tomas del Rosario College.

For reliability, the researchers used the test-retest method. The questionnaire was administered twice to the respondents. The coefficient correlation between the first and second administration of the questionnaire was computed with the use of the Spearman rank coefficient of correlation or Spearman rho. The formula is as follows:

rs = 1 - 6ΣD2

N3 – N

Where:

rs = Spearman rho

ΣD2 = Sum of squared difference between ranks

N = Number of cases

If the obtained correlation is high, it means that the questionnaire is reliable.

Data Gathering Procedure

Once the research instrument was found to be valid and reliable, the researchers secured written permission from the Tomas del Rosario College Administration to have permission to conduct the study at school. After the approval of the permit, the researchers administered the questionnaires. The questionnaires were administered to the college students of BSBA during August 2015. The retrieval of questionnaires be on less than 70%.

Data Processing Method

After the retrieval of the questionnaires, the researchers tabulated the findings and analyzed the data. The data gathering was systemized. The researchers had made an assessment with regards to the effect of modern technology to enhance academic performance by the BSBA students of Tomas del Rosario College, academic year 2015-2016. The responses were analyzed with the subjects considered whole, only differentiating them by their year level.

Statistical Treatment

To analyze, organize and interpret data in the study, the researchers used statistical tools for treatment of data like percentage, chi-square and contingency coefficient, “The Effect Modern Technology has on the Academic Performance of BSBA students at Tomas del Rosario College”.

These helped the researchers gather and compare data. The following are the tolls used in the study.

1. Percentage – identified number of respondents

P = f/n x 100

Where:

P =precentage

f = frequency of responses

n = total number of respondents

2. Chi-Square Test- often used to determine whether there is a goodness of fit. It is alsoused to test the association of categorical data and to test the hypothesis of independence of two

3. Contingency Coefficient-
