Chapter 3 METHOD This chapter presented a brief explanation of the research methodology used in the gathering, analyzing, and development of the study’s data. It includes research design, research locale, participants of the study, research instrument, data gathering procedure, and data analysis, and ethical considerations. Research Design This research applied a qualitative research design. Phenomenology is a type of Qualitative Research Method that seeks to explain the nature of things through the way people experience them. It translates literally as the “study of phenomena.” In other words, it’s the study of the meaning these things (or phenomena) have in the minds of the audience you’re studying. (Hugh Good, 2023). Qualitative research relies on analyzing and interpreting social experiences and concepts in their own context (Glesne, 1999). Additionally, this study method aims to create a thorough comprehension and arrangement of concepts in a certain event. Since this study tries to answer questions about the Impact of ChatGPT to Pagadian City Science High School students, the researchers believed that a qualitative research design is the most applicable design to be implemented in this study. Additionally, the researchers believe that a qualitative type of research requires non-numerical data, which means that the research uses words rather than numbers to express the results, the inquiry, or investigation about people’s thoughts, beliefs, feelings, views, and lifestyles regarding the object of the study (Baraceros, 2016). These characteristics are required to complete the objective of the study which is to obtain the information in regards with the Negative Impact of ChatGPT towards the Pagadian City Science Highschool Students. Research Instrument This study will be using semi-structured interviews as our research instrument. It will allow the researcher to collect qualitative and open-ended data and it can also explore the participants thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about the topic. In this research, there are three interview guide questions asked to determine what is the impact of ChatGPT to Pagadian City Science Highschool students. Research Participants The researchers of this study will be conducting out a Snowball Sampling Technique to gather data from 30 selected Pagadian City Science Highschool Students that use ChatGPT who are from Grade 7 to the Grade 12 Curriculum of the S.Y. 2023-2024. These selected Grade 7 to Grade 10 students is from each junior high school grade level and The Grade 11 to Grade 12 students will be specifically selected under the strand of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM), and Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) of Pagadian City Science High School. Snowball sampling technique will be used in identifying the participants of the study. There are 12 participants aged 13 years old to 17 years old which is equivalent to 40% of the total participants, 18 participants aged 17 years old to 19 years old which is equivalent to 60% of the total participants. The total to 30 participants which is equal to 100.00% Table 1. The Research Participants Grade Level No. of Students Research Locale This study will be conducted at Pagadian City Science High School, located at Tuburan District, Pagadian City. This new site has been established and began its operations on November 2012, after years of construction prior to the announcement of the new site. The old site however, was the abandoned rooms of Pablo Litigio Elementary School and Pagadian City Pilot School, which was returned to the respective schools after the transfer to the new site. Pagadian City Science High School founded on the year 2010 and is the only science high school in the city. The current school principal is Mrs. Crestina Parot, the head teacher is Jocelyn Ybio Gamboa, and the assistant administrator is Ernadel Reyes. This currently school has four buildings located within the campus. One for the senior high school which is a two-story building having six advisory classrooms. Facing the senior high school building is the two-story PAGSCI building, which has seven advisory classrooms occupied by the grades 9 and 10, also one for grade 11 and 12, one computer laboratory, one clinic, and the administrative office. Located beside the senior high school building is the three-story junior and senior high school building occupied by the grades 7, 8, 11 and 12 students, also including one library. Beside the three-story building is the one-story building of grade 7 Nitrogen and Home economics. In between the senior high school and junior high school building is the school’s canteen. Figure 3. Map of Pagadian City Science High School Data Gathering Procedure The researchers allocated the following steps considering the procedures to be followed that is necessary for gathering data. First and foremost, the researchers formulated a brief interview questionnaire for gathering data. Next, the researchers will schedule a date to conduct the research. In addition to, the researchers will seek approval from their research adviser. Moreover, the researchers will gather data through semistructured interviews using interview questionnaires. Finally, the researchers will gather all the data from interview questionnaires with the response of the participants and interpret it using data analysis. Data Analysis To interpret the gathered data, the researchers must first prepare and organize the collected data by gathering their notes, documents or other materials, then mark the source of any demographic that the researchers have collected from or any other sources of information that will help the researchers analyze the data. Then the researchers will have to review and explore the gathered data by reading the data several times to get a sense of what it contains. Subsequently, the researchers will then have to use highlighters, notes, sticky pads, concept maps to aid themselves in connecting their data to organize it, during organizing the data, the researchers will also identify reoccurring themes, opinions, and beliefs. Then present the study by considering the audience, the purpose of the study and what contents should be included to elaborate on the story of the gathered data. (Campuslabs, 2020). Ethical Considerations The researchers ensured that the quality of the interview is thoroughly expounded. Participants in this study are made aware of the purpose of their participation, the response they’re about to provide and what they should do. They will all be voluntary because if we force them, they would not provide a truthful response, if they aren’t interested of the interview being conducted. The interview ensures that the researchers use the correct language in order to avoid misunderstandings with their respondents. It will not cause any harm to our volunteered participants, and we do not want to lead them in any verbal or physical attack. To prevent harm, the respondents’ carefully researched results must be kept private and anonymous. Only relevant components will be assessed by the researchers.
