RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the methodology of the study. This includes the
research design, research environment, research respondents, research
instruments, data gathering procedure, scoring of variables and the statistical tools
in the analysis of the data.
Research Design
The purpose of this study was to determine if fill-me-up handouts will affect
the interest and performance in Science of Grade V pupils at Dalirig Elementary
School S.Y 2018-2019. The outcome of this study was intended to improve the
academic performance of the pupils.
Research Environment
This study was conducted among the Grade 5 pupils of Dalirig Elementary
School. This school was founded in the early 1960's.Dalirig was originated from the
term “Daliligid” which means “Make it fast and roll yourself down” to the ground for
the grasses were very thick to cover them. Barangay Dalirig. Dalirig Elementary
School is a public institution which aims to protect and to promote the right of every
Filipino to quality, equitable, culture based, and complete basic education where
students learn in a child-friendly, gender-sensitive, safe, and motivating
environment. Teachers facilitate learning and constantly nurture every learner
The school is located at Zone 4, Dalirig, Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon with 24
teachers spearheaded by Mr. Nelson C. Valcurza. There are 24 classrooms being
used by the teachers and the pupils aside from the under construction classrooms,
there were also principal’s office and a school library.

Research Respondents
The respondents of this study were the two sections of Grade 5 pupils of
Dalirig Elementary School, Sections A and B enrolled for the school year 2018-
2019.
Table 1. Distribution of Respondents by Section
Section Number of Respondents Percentage
A 30 50 %
B 30 50 %
Total 60 100 %
The table 1 shows the distribution of respondents according to their sections.
The Grade 5 section A has an enrollee of 30 pupils comprising 50% as well as
section B which also have an enrollee of 30 pupils comprising 50%.
Research Instruments
The research instrument employed in this study was scoring rubrics and a fill-
me-up handout made by the researchers.
The scoring rubric is used for determining the level of performance of the
respondents and the fill-me-up handouts will need to be filled with answers by the
respondents.
Data Gathering Procedure
For Data gathering of the study, the researchers make some research
procedure. And these include the following:
The research instrument was administered by the researchers to determine
the performance and interest in Science subject of the respondents. Prior to the
administration of the said instruments, the researchers requested the permission of
the college administrator of Northern Bukidnon Community College and the
Program Head of the Teacher Education Program to conduct their study at Dalirig
Elementary School. The researchers also requested the permission of the principal
of Dalirig Elementary School to administer the questionnaire to the respondents. An
orientation was conducted by the researchers to the grade five pupil’s to ensure that
the time allotment, the directions for administrations and scoring will be uniformly
done and given.
Statistical Analysis
The following were the statistical treatments used for the quantification and
analysis of data.
Frequency, percentage and ranking
Mean=Σx
where:
X sum of scores
N - number of scores
Percentage
Percentage = n x 100
where:
n – sample size
N – population
In order to determine the capability of fill-me-up handouts used in Grade V
pupils to learning descriptive statistics variation in the class performance of the
pupils who were be taught using fill-me-up handouts and non-users, the t-test of
significance between two means of independent groups was used. The step by step
procedure and formula are as follows:
Pearson-Product correlation moment coefficient
a. Find the values of ΣX, ΣY, ΣX2, ΣY2, ΣXY as well as X and Y.
b. Substitute the values from step 1 into Pearson’s Correlation formula as
follows:
Where:
x=total value pupils’ interest
y= total value of students’ performance in science
T-test for significance of r
n−2
t= r
√ 1−r 2
T- test for two independent samples:
The Formula
( x 1−x 2) −(μ 1−μ2)
t= s21 s 22
√ +
n1 n2
Follows the format of
Test value= (observed value) - (expected value)
Standard error
Where:
x1 = Sample mean of the users
x2 = Sample mean of the non-users
x 1−x 2 = observed difference between sample means
( μ1−μ 2 ) =difference between population means
s21 s22
√ + = standard error of the difference between two means
n1 n2
Scoring Scheme
The following are the scoring scheme that is used in processing the data
gathered in the study.
