METHOD

This chapter presents the research design, research subject, research

instruments, data gathering procedure, and statistical tools employed in this investigation.

Research Design

The researcher chose a Survey Research Design because it best served to answer

the questions and the purposes of the study. The survey research is one in which a group

of people or items is studied by collecting and analyzing data from only a few people or

items considered to be representative of the entire group. In other words, only a part of

the population is studied, and findings from this are expected to be generalized to the

entire population (Nworgu 1991:68). Similary, McBurney (1994:170) defines the survey

assessing public opinion or individual characteristics by the use of questionnaire and

sampling methods.

It is also a Qualitative Research which made use of descriptive survey method. It

is descriptive study because it involved the collection of data concerning the effect of one-

in one-out policy in tagum city national high school.
