CHAPTER III

Research Design and Methodology

This study was proposed to add to the available knowledge about the punctuality of TVL

4 CSS student additionally, the study allowed for the findings from previous case studies of A.

M. Sultana, Siti Nor Millah Binti Rashid Time Management and Punctuality Issues among

Students at Secondary School however, this study utilized Likert style questionnaire to conduct a

quantitative analysis. This chapter will include the research questions that guided this

investigation, a description of the design of the study and the survey instrument, a discussion of

the data collection procedures, and a description of the data analysis process.

Research Design

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of punctuality of TVL 4 CSS student

during work immersion. The researcher collected quantitative data through Likert scale survey

method (Omari, 2011). The quantitative method involves inferential approach or survey research

design in which questions or observation is used (Kothari, 2004; Omari). It involves application

of mathematical and statistical techniques which are very useful in research since researcher use

numerous tables and charts to analyze the collected data. The quantitative survey method is

helped to analyze raw data which is collected through questionnaire and subjected to similar

statistical analysis in order to provide solid evidences regarding to the effect of punctuality in the

TVL 4 student during work immersion. The survey questionnaire assists to collect intended

information from different kind of people at once (Enon, 1995; Kothari). The questionnaire was

used to determine if punctuality have significant effect to the performance of TVL 4 CSS student

during work immersion.

Population
 For the study, the population may be small enough to warrant the inclusion of all of them

in the study. But a study may entail a large population which cannot all be studied. That portion

of the population that is studied is called a sample of the population (Nworgu 1991:69). A sample

in this study is 30 TVL 4 CSS senior student , therefore, a smaller group of elements drawn

through a definite procedure from an accessible population. The elements making up this sample

are those that are actually studied.

The study involved the Thirty (30) grade 12 senior students from TVL 4 that are currently

enrolled at the strand of Technical Vocational Livelihood Education in the track of Computer

System Servicing or CSS school year 2017-2018 at Bataan National High School.

Sampling Techniques

The investigation made used Non Probability Sampling under Purposive or Judge mental

Sampling produce was used for selecting the participants in this study. This technique was

employed to ensure a fairly equal representation of the variables for the study.

Instrument for Data Collection

The researcher designed a survey questioner as one of the data collection instrument for t

his study. The researcher considered the 30 grade 12 TVL 04 CSS student of BNHS comprising

of 30 students male and female. They were the chosen respondent because their course has to do

of work immersion. Those Question that related to punctuality that affect immersion performanc

e, perceived problems of value like punctuality of the student during their work immersion. The

questionnaire use by the researchers show below. The researcher’s questionnaire is from fast stud

y of A. M. Sultana, Siti Nor Millah Binti Rashid, A Study on Time Management

and Punctuality Issues among Students at Secondary School

Data Collection Procedure

The researchers use survey questionnaire to conduct a data analysis. After getting the

questionnaire from reliable source study by A. M. Sultana, Siti Nor Millah Binti Rashid on Time

Management and Punctuality Issues among Students at Secondary School, Kedah. The

questionnaire was distributed to the TVL 4 CSS senior student. Then the collected data were

compiled into an Excel spreadsheet and prepared for analysis using statistical tools within the

Microsoft Excel statistical software suite. Each survey record was assigned an identification
number to ensure privacy. The data contained 10 questions to determine the punctuality of TVL 4

CSS student during immersion. The instrument was structured in the modified Likert fashion, on

a 4 – point scale, ranging from “agree” (1), through “strong agree” (2), “undecided”,” disagree”

“not sure”(3) to “disagree” (4) and “strong disagree”(5). Subjects were then instructed to respond

to their degree of Agreement with the statements contained in the instrument. The results were

arranged and entered into tabular format. Procedures described in chapter 3 were followed to

ensure participant confidentiality. The final study sample contained 30 discrete participant survey

records.
