Guidelines in Writing Chapter II

This document provides guidelines for writing Chapter II (Method) of a research paper. Chapter II should discuss the research design, participants and sampling technique, research instruments, data gathering procedure, and method of data analysis. For research design, the document recommends identifying the most appropriate design based on the research goals, problem statement, and conceptual framework. Participants and sampling technique should present how representative samples will be selected. The research instruments section should describe and justify the tools to be used. Data gathering procedure outlines how data will be collected, while respecting research ethics. Finally, the method of data analysis discusses what statistical tests will be used to analyze the data and address the research problem.

Guidelines in Writing Chapter II

Method
Method
 Discusses the variables to be examined
 Research design that will help attain the goal/
purpose
 Lays down the procedures for the conduct of the
study
 Provide a thorough discussion of the research
instruments or data gathering tools
 Presents the different statistical tests to be used in
the research
Chapter II sections:
 Research Design
 Participants and Sampling Technique
 Research Instruments
 Data Gathering Procedure
 Method of Data Analysis
Research Design
 Will be determined by the goals and
purpose of the research.
 The researcher can examine the:
 Research title;
 Statement of the Problem and the;
 Conceptual Framework
in identifying the most appropriate
research design
 The discussion should zero in on the nature
of the current research
 The design will enable to arrive at answers
to the questions articulated in the Statement
of the Problem.
 Include size of the sample, where will they
be obtained, particular sampling technique
to be used and the research locale or where
the study will be conducted
Researches can be categorized into:
Quantitative
Qualitative
Quantitative Research
 Tend to utilize numerical scores that can be
summarized, analyzed and interpreted using
statistical procedures.
 Researches are categorized into:
 Experimental
 Quasi-experimental
 Non-experimental
 Descriptive and
 Correlational research
Qualitative Research
 Produces “soft data” and involves making
careful observation of participants.
Participants and Sampling
Technique
 Presents the research participants, total number
of respondents and how they will be selected.
 Two things in selecting the sample:
 Representativeness
 Generalizability
Representative Sample
 Findings can be generalized to all members
of the population.
Research Instruments
 Discusses the research instruments or the
data gathering tools to be used
 This should discuss the instrument to be
used with the reference to the following:
 Proponent of the instrument
 Purpose for which it has constructed
 Cronbach coefficient of the alpha level
Consider the nature of the
respondents and financial aspects
Probable source research
instruments:
Internet (should be pilot tested)
Research journals
Thesis/ Dissertations
Pilot Testing
 Allowable participants are 30-40 that
should be drawn from a locale that
closely resembles the context of the
target participants.
 YOU ARE NOT TO PILOT TEST
ANYMORE since the Moving Up is
soon.
Observe proper etiquette
when using or revising an
instrument.
Seek permission of the proponent of
the instrument
In case the researchers decide to do
their own instrument, they must
undergo test validation. Therefore,
this should be included in the
discussion of this section.
In your case, I will be the one to
validate since we are running out of
time.
There is also a need to present
range of scores and its
corresponding verbal interpretation
for the different tools to be used in
the research.
 For every variable mentioned in the
statement of the problem, there should be a
corresponding research instrument.
 It is best to use an instrument with a
Cronbach alpha coefficient of .75 or
higher
Data Gathering Procedure
 Presents the procedure of the data
gathering to be conducted by the
researchers.
 This should highlight conventions
observed in conducting the research.
 Includes seeking the consent of the people
who will be involved in the study
Researchers must explain the steps
undertaken in the study
systematically.
(i.e. what instrument will be given
first followed by what and so on.)
Method of Data Analysis
 Concerned with the various statistics to
be used, variables to be examined, goals
or purpose of the research that will
guide in the choice of the appropriate
statistical tests.
 Present the descriptive statistics to be
used in paragraph form. (the “what”
questions in the statement of the
problem)
 The inferential (relationship question)
in the research (“Is there”) will require
inferential statistics.
Inferential Statistics
 Used for testing null hypothesis
 It includes but is limited to any of the
following:
 Pearson R (testing significant relationships)
 T test (testing significant difference)
 Analysis of variance (computing 3 or more
groups)
