METHODOLOGY

Research Design

This research utilizes descriptive method in order to explain the different problems

encountered by the 4ps senior high school students in distance learning.

Descriptive research is a type of research that describes a population, situation or

phenomenon that is being studied. It focuses on answering the how, what, when and here

questions. Further, descriptive research makes observations and describes the results of those

findings, providing an accounting and delineating component of a problem without making

inferences regarding causality.

Also, this research design involves the interpretation of data according to the variables

involves in the study. Also, it utilizes different data gathering techniques such as interviews,

questionnaires, surveys and registrations.

Study Site and Participants

The research will consider the health workers currently serving in the municipality of

Diffun, Quirino. They consist of the doctors, nurses, midwives and other medical pratctitioners

in the Rural Health Unit and the Diffun District Hospital and the barangay health workers in the

barangays.

Instruments

The research will use a structured questionnaire composed of three parts. The first part is

a checklist on the profile of the respondents containing information on the gender, age, position,

monthly income and area of assignment.

The second part of the instrument is a questionnaire checklist on determining the received

health risks assistance of the respondents the third part of the instrument is a questionnaire
checklist on determining the perceived level.of satisfaction of the respondents on the received

health risks assistance during the COVID 19 pandemic. Data gathered were described using the

following:

Range Numerical Description Indicators

Scale
3.26-4.00 4 Very Satisfied The respondents are very satisfied
on the received health risk
assistance.
2.51-3.25 3 Satisfied The respondents are satisfied on
the received health risk assistance.
1.76-2.50 2 Dissatisfied The respondents are dissatisfied
on the received health risk
assistance.

1.00-1.75 1 Very Dissatisfied The respondents are very

dissatisfied on the received health
risk assistance.

Data Collection Procedure

The researcher will follow the protocol in conducting a research. The outline will be

submitted to the members of the panel for their suggestions. When the outline is finished, the

researcher will seek approval from the municipal mayor to conduct the survey. Data gathered

will be analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The tables to be

generated from this program will be the basis for the interpretation, conclusion and

recommendations.

Data Analysis

Data gathered in the research were analyzed using the following statistical tools:
1. Frequency count and Percentage. These will be used to describe information about the profile

of the respondents.

2. Mean. This will be used to describe the level of agreement of the respondents to the indicators

given on the problems and challenges and coping mechanisms employed toward distance

learning.

3. t-test. This will be used to determine existence of significant differences on the problems and

challenges and coping mechanisms employed toward distance learning.

4. ANOVA (F-test). This will be used to determine existence of significant differences on the

problems and challenges and coping mechanisms employed toward distance learning.

Ethical Considerations

The researchers are aware that it is imperative that ethical issues are considered during

the formulation of the evaluation plan. The researchers will guarantee accountability and

responsibility of the following ethical considerations to the research participants: informed

consent, voluntary participation, to do no harm, confidentiality, anonymity and to only assess

relevant components.

The respondents’ participation in this study will be voluntary. To ensure confidentiality,

the background and profiles of the participants will not be exposed and were treated with utmost

confidentiality. Moreover, a consent form will be filled up by the partakers and crafted as proof

that the participants agreed and were informed that they were subjected into this study.
 The researchers will not oblige a participant to take part on the study who wished to

withdraw in the midst of the research since it is their right.

In order to ensure the rigor and trustworthiness of this study, the researchers will set aside

personal feelings and opinions for the better result of the study. The participants statements will

be analyzed and supported by theories. The researchers will be optimistic in engaging with the

respondents themselves, experiencing and evaluating the situation of the education system at

present and will be determining the difficulties faced by the participants in the adjustment to

distance learning. Thus, the researchers will be in better position to suggest viable action plan in

implementing modular approach.

The level of agreement of the respondents on the extent of use of 4Ps grant to the SHS
students during pandemic when they are grouped by gender reveals that the male respondents
agree that their 4Ps grant is used at full extent for their educational needs. The male respondents
responded “strongly agree” on the statement “My parents/guardians are able to pay school
obligations and contributions even in times of pandemic.”

 The t-test on the differences in mean agreement on the extent of use of 4Ps grant to the
SHS students during pandemic when they are grouped by gender reveals significant differences
on the statement “My parents/guardians are able to pay school obligations and contributions
even in times of pandemic.” The existence of significant result leads to the rejection of the null
hypothesis which states that there are no significant differences on the Agreement of the
Respondents on the extent of use of 4Ps grant to the SHS students during pandemic when they
are grouped by gender. This implies that the age of the respondents has something to do on their
level of agreement on the statement with significant result, while age has nothing to do on their
perceptions on the statements that are not statistically significant.

The agreement of the respondents on the extent of use of 4Ps grant to the SHS students
during pandemic when they are grouped by age reveals that all groups agreed that the 17 year old
group strongly agreed to the statement “My parents/guardians are able to pay school obligations
and contributions even in times of pandemic” with mean of 3.50 while the ages 19 above stated
the same on the statement “I am able to submit school projects on time even in times of
pandemic” with mean of 3.26. However, each did not affect the overall description which is
“agree”.

exposes that the respondents who have small business answered that they “strongly agree” while
“agree” by the rest of the groups on all of the statements.
This implies that the groupings as to parents’ source of income caused variation on their
grand mean descriptions.

result leads to the rejection of the null hypothesis which states that there are no significant
differences on the agreement of the respondents on extent of use of 4Ps grant to the SHS students
during pandemic when they are grouped by parents’ source of income. This implies that the
parents’ source of income by the respondents has something to do on their level of agreement on

grant received uncovers no significant differences on all of the statements. The inexistence of
significant result leads to the acceptance of the null hypothesis which states that there are no
significant differences on the agreement of the respondents on extent of use of 4Ps grant to the
SHS students during pandemic when they are grouped by monthly cash grant received. This
implies that the monthly cash grant received has nothing to do on their level of agreement on the
statements that are not statistically significant.

The agreement of the respondents on the extent of use of 4Ps grant to the SHS Students
during pandemic when they are grouped by family size professed that they “agree” in all the
statements. The grand means of the respondents with 9 and more is 3.16 which is slightly higher
than the grand mean of the respondents who have 3-5 members with 3.15 and those with 5-8
members with 3.14 mean. All grand means are described as “agree.” This implies that the
agreement of the respondents did not vary even if they are grouped by family size.

It is shown in Table 11 that the female respondents regarded themselves to be strongly

agreeing to all the statements with a grand mean of 3.30 described as “strongly agree”. Also, the
male respondents’ response has a grand mean of 3.26 described as “strongly agree”, too but not
in all statements but to “My parents/guardians are able to give me daily school allowance” and
“My parents/guardians are able to provide our medical needs (check-up, medicines, vitamins,

The t-Test on the differences in agreement of the respondents on their spending financial
allowance when they are grouped by gender reveals no significant result in all the statements.
The absence of significant results leads to the acceptance of the null hypothesis which states that
there are no significant differences on the agreement of the respondents on their spending
financial allowance when they are grouped by gender. This implies that the gender of the
respondents has nothing to do on their spending financial allowance when they are grouped by
gender.

The agreement of the respondents on their spending financial allowance when they are
grouped by age reveals that the respondents who are 17 years old supposed themselves to
“strongly agree” in all statements with a grand mean of 3.28 except to “My parents/guardians
are able to give me daily school allowance”. Meanwhile, a description of “agree” was deduced
by the respondents who are 18 and 19 years old and above. The 19 years and above group
strongly agreed on “My parents/guardians are able to provide our medical needs (check-up,
medicines, vitamins, etc.)”, “I don’t need to help my parents in working for additional income
acquisition” and “My parents/guardians do not need to borrow/loan money to provide all our

The analysis of variance on the differences agreement of the respondents on the benefits
of 4Ps to SHS learners on the improvement of the students’ academic performance when they are
grouped by number of members who are 4Ps beneficiary reveals significant result on the
statement “I am able to attend online classes when needed because I don’t have to help in
household chores.” The existence of significant results leads to the rejection of the null
hypothesis which states that there are no significant differences agreement of the respondents on
the benefits of 4Ps to SHS learners on the improvement of the students’ academic performance
when they are grouped by number of members who are 4Ps beneficiary.

The agreement of the respondents on the benefits of 4Ps to SHS learners on the
improvement of the students’ academic performance when they are grouped by monthly cash
grant received reveals that the respondents who receive 1, 500.00-2, 500.00 “strongly agree” to
the statement “I am motivated to attend online classes regularly and answer SLMs and LAS
because we receiving 4Ps cash grant.” with a marginal mean of 3.26, thus unaffecting the grand
mean description of “agree”, 3.21. Meanwhile those who receive 2, 501.00 to 4, 500.00 “strongly
agree” to the statement “I am motivated to get high grades because we receiving 4Ps cash
grant.” All the respondents in different groups perceived themselves to “agree” in the rest of the
statements in the table. The grand mean descriptions are all described as “agree.” This implies
that the groupings as to monthly cash grant received did not make a difference in their grand
mean descriptions.

agreement on the statement with significant result.

answered that they “strongly agree” while “agree” by the rest of the groups on all of the
statements.

The agreement of the respondents on their spending financial allowance when they are
grouped by family size professed that they “agree” in all the statements. The grand means of the
respondents with 9 and more is 3.16 which is slightly higher than the grand mean of the
respondents who have 3-5 members with 3.15 and those with 5-8 members with 3.14 mean. All
grand means are described as “agree.” This implies that the agreement of the respondents did not
vary even if they are grouped by family size.

The analysis of variance on the differences in agreement of the respondents on the

benefits of 4Ps to SHS learners on the improvement of the students’ academic performance when
they are grouped by family size displays significant differences on the statement “I am
motivated to focus on my studies because I don’t need to worry about my needs.” The existence
of significant result leads to the rejection of the null hypothesis which states that there are no
significant differences on the agreement of the respondents on the benefits of 4Ps to SHS
learners on the improvement of the students’ academic performance when they are grouped by
family size. This implies that the family size the respondents has something to do on their level
of agreement on the statement with significant result and that it has nothing to do on their
agreement on the statements that are not statistically significant.

Recommendations

From the analysis of all data collected and the responses made by the student-
beneficiaries, the following recommendations have been arrived at:
 1. The government may consider extending the age limit of the beneficiaries to sustain their
schooling until the time they graduate especially now that two years have been added to
the secondary education;

2. The DSWD and the local government units should intensify the implementation and the
scope of the livelihood programs to serve as additional source of income for family-
beneficiaries;
