 METHODOLOGY
 Method of Research
Since the objective of the research was to evaluate the implementation of School Improvement Plan, the researcher
made use of the descriptive assessment method of research. Such process was used because it is concerned with
description, recording, analysis, and elucidations of presented situations (Thyer, 2010).
The descriptive research designs enable researchers to label an understanding on a certain event or phenomena.
Johnson and Christensen (2012) discussed descriptive research as focused mainly on presenting an exact depiction or
illustration of class or individuality of a condition or phenomena considering a criteria towards analysis of its concepts
and systems.
 Population, Sample Size, and Sampling Technique

Specifically, the respondents of this study were the elementary teachers in Candelaria East District. The researcher
used fish bowl technique to select the teacher respondent in each schools and places where they come from. The
respondents belong to small, medium and large schools both rural and urban schools in Candelaria, Quezon.

The respondents comprised the elementary school teachers from Candelaria East District in Quezon Province both
rural and urban area, a total of 180 teacher respondents are chosen using Slovin’s Formula to compute the samples from
Candelaria East District.
Slovin's formula is employed to estimate the sample size (n) with the known population size (N) and a margin of
error (e). It's an arbitrary sampling method formula to calculate sampling size.
 METHODOLOGY
 Description of the Respondents
To gather the necessary information about the school heads practices and its relationship on the implementation of
school improvement plan, a questionnaire or survey paper was prepared by the researcher. The survey paper was
adopted.
To ensure the reliability and consistency of the instrument, the researcher requested three experts to do the necessary
content validation. To test the validity of the survey instrument the statistician also used Pearson’s correlation coefficient
and test the reliability of the questionnaire using Cronbach’s Alpha.
 Data-Gathering Procedure
After the thesis committee’s authorization of the proposed study, the researcher conducted the content validation
and reliability testing of the questionnaires. She secured letters of endorsement from the Director of the Polytechnic
University of the Philippines - Open University and acquired another endorsement from District Office of Candelaria
