CHAPTER 2 Average time of grade 12 stem students in attending synchronous classes per day 1. RESEARCH DESIGN This study uses a descriptive research design, in which the researcher collects data from people by randomly selecting and analyzing samples chosen from the population. In order to have an output, this research design relies on distributing survey questionnaires to the covered population and analyzing the data obtained in order to provide the results desired by the researcher. The survey questions will cover three specific areas: the average time of students attending synchronous classes per day, the factors affecting their admittance, and strategies used by students to access online classes despite these factors. 2. HYPOTHESIS Ho: The average amount of time spent in online classes by grade 12 stem students is not accurate due to various factors affecting their admittance. Ha: The average amount of time spent in online classes by grade 12 stem students is accurate. 3. LOCALE AND POPULATION GROUP N N STEM A 50 40 STEM B 53 42 Instrumentation and data collection The survey questionnaire is composed of different questions that will respond to the statement of the problem. In the preparation of the instrument, the requirements in the design of good data collection were considered. The students completed the questionnaire with three (3) sections. The first section included the students’ demographic/ personal data. To get descriptive characteristics for the students, demographic information was gathered. For the second section, there will be an 8-item liker scale type of question used for the evaluation of the students’ average time in attending synchronous classes per day. For the third section, openended options were provided to accommodate to free formatted views related to the topics or issues. In this way, the instrument is authorized to obtain valid responses from the students. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the face-to-face setting is prohibited; therefore, conduction of survey and questionnaires will be done online. These questions will analyze the perspectives of a large number of students in order to examine the subject's factors, whether or not they are significant in the subject. This survey questionnaire will be conducted for days according to the availability of the students. The sampling method to be used in this research is simple random sampling. Depending on the availability of the respondents, this might take up to five days to collect data for the input and weighted mean for each question, which will be tabulated for analysis. https://www.slideshare.net/triggerjps/questions-about-school-violence-25561613
