ANXIETY AND PERFORMANCE IN LEARNING ENGLISH AMONG SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS The research made was done scientifically because the researcher followed a step-by-step process that helped construct an accurate depiction of the perceived hypotheses to answer whatever question the study had. The researcher outlined the statement of the problems, did planning and specified the methodology to how information or research findings be acquired. The statement of the problem was delineated to extrapolate the gap in the existing knowledge that points to the need for further understanding and investigation. This then necessitates the study to reach a viable solution. Perchance, the statement of problems was answered based upon empirical observation retrieved from the research instrument employed. The researcher used mixed method which was the combination of the quantitative and qualitative research designs and adapted questionnaire in which the gathered data were judged by perceived rigor in method to ensure and achieve confidence in the results of a study that demands disciplined inquiry and appropriate statistical treatment. Moreover, the research contributed to a body of knowledge by providing new information through ethical study design. The researcher hypothesized the gap encountered during research procedure and formulated potential explanations for the phenomena observed, tested hypotheses out with experiments, and analyzed results to see if they were right or wrong. In selection of respondents, necessary parameters were used as statistical inference to meet the respondents’ characteristics that are of interest of the researcher. Statement of hypothesis purported the significant difference and correlation of the study to prove whether it has changes or the same. In general, statement of the problems and methodology were carefully planned to address a gap in knowledge, have adequate significant to contribute to the existing body of research and the problems rendered themselves to investigation through collection of data leading an approach towards solving the problem that are ethical and robust.
