INTRODUCTION

First Paragraph – Discuss the global (International setting) perspectives with citations

from three (3) RRL’s. (Create a title for the RRL’s)

Second Paragraph – Discuss the local (Philippine setting) perspectives with citations

from three (3) RRL’s. (Create a title for the RRL’s)

Third Paragraph – Discuss the “rationale of the study” or the “research gap” (Guide

questions: What is something new from your study? Why do you need to conduct it?)

(Scope and Delimitation) The main purpose of this study was to… (type here the main

objective of your study; one sentence only). Only the data gathered from the respondents were

used. Any data gathered beyond the scope or timeframe were not considered.

(Statement of the Problem) Specifically, this study intended to provide answers and

solutions to the following questions:

1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of:

1.1. type here;

1.2. type here; and

1.3. type here?

*(Note: The profile is not always required, it depends on your study)

2. What is the assessment of the respondents in the (type here) in terms of:

2.1. type here;

2.2. type here; and

2.3. type here?

3. Is there any significant (difference or relationship)…

METHODS

(Research Design) The evaluative–quantitative method of research was used in this

study. Campugan (2014) pointed out that the quantitative method of research is a data-based

study with adequate and accurate interpretation of the findings. It describes with emphasis what

actually exist such as current condition, practices, situations, or any phenomena.

(Locale of the Study) The research was conducted at Siena College of Taytay during

School Year 2021-2022. It is located at E. Rodriguez Ave., Brgy. San Isidro Taytay, Rizal. Siena

College of Taytay is a Dominican Institution founded in 1957 by the Dominican Sisters of St.

Catherine of Siena. The school has an Integrated Basic Education Department that was

accredited by PAASCU and a College Department.

(Sampling Technique) Two different sampling techniques were used in this study. One is

the purposive sampling for the teacher-respondents and the simple random sampling–lottery

method technique for the student-respondents. (Define the sampling technique used with

citations)

(Participants of the Study) The first group of respondents of the study were the fifty (50)

Grade 12 students enrolled during School Year 2020-2021 at Siena College of Taytay, in the

municipality of Taytay, province of Rizal.

The second group of respondents were the six (6) teachers of Practical Research 2 in

Grade 12 from the same afore-mentioned educational institution.

(Research Instrument) The instrument used to obtain data required was a questionnaire.

The research instrument refers to the tools that facilitate the gathering of information and data

that support a study.

This instrument was selected due to its relatively faster collection of results as compared

with other techniques. The questionnaire consisted of 2 parts: (1) Demographic Profile of the

Respondents and (2) The Evaluation in the… (what is being evaluated)

The questionnaire is very simple, brief, and clear to avoid confusion and interpretation of

the respondents. To reinforce the validity and suitability of the instrument to this field of study,

the opinion and expertise of experienced practitioners and educators were sought. Books and

similar studies also served as guides in constructing the questionnaire.

(Data Gathering Procedure) Before floating the questionnaire to the specified

respondents, it was pilot-tested to some friends. Comments and suggestions from them were

considered in the improvement of the questionnaire. Hence, the initial draft of the questionnaire

was counter-checked by the adviser and revisions were made with the approval of the panelists.

The researchers, however, was aware that the questionnaire as a tool for investigation has

inherent limitations. The value of the findings largely depends on the sincerity, truthfulness, and

objectivity of the respondents. It cannot totally be unbiased.

(Statistical Treatment) To analyze and interpret the data gathered, descriptive statistics

such as weighted mean, frequency, percentage, rank distribution and verbal interpretation was

utilized for numerical analysis and for comparing magnitude.

Weighted Mean will enable us to calculate an average that takes into account the

importance of each value to the overall total (Levin, 1998 as cited by Aquino, 2011).

Independent Sample t-Test was also used for problem number three (3), to determine the

significant difference between the assessments of the three groups of respondents as reflected

between their mean scores. (Levin, 1998 as cited by Aquino, 2011).

(Ethical Considerations) This study considered the following ethics: (1) Honesty and

Integrity. All the data gathered and used will not extrapolate to mislead anyone that will utilize

this study for future reference, (2) Objectivity. This study avoids bias in any aspect, such as

design, data analysis, interpretation, and peer review. The researchers disclose any personal or

financial interest that may affect the study, (3) Respect for Intellectual Property. This study did

not plagiarize. Proper citation of all literature and studies was observed by the researchers, and

(4) Confidentiality and Human Subjects Protection. The respondents of the study were given the

utmost privacy of their personal information. This study did not violate but rather respect the

respondent's rights including the right to privacy and autonomy. Parents’ consent was asked

through a letter informing that their child was chosen to be a part of the study.

RESULTS

- Tables (per SOP) and explanation

- You can use Composite Table – the summary of other tables

- Example:

Table 1. Composite Table on the Assessment of the Respondents in the

Students Teachers
Indicators WM VI WM VI
Objectives 4.59 Highly Evident 4.60 Highly Evident
Contents 4.56 Highly Evident 4.71 Highly Evident
Graphics 4.59 Highly Evident 4.51 Highly Evident
Language Used 4.57 Highly Evident 4.35 Moderately Evident
Evaluation and Exercises 4.59 Highly Evident 4.53 Highly Evident
Total 4.58 Highly Evident 4.54 Highly Evident

Table 6 above presents the computed over-all weighted mean on the assessment of the

two groups of respondents in the utilization of instructional module with respect to all variables.

As depicted from Table 6, with respect to all variables, as assessed by the student-

respondents, the over-all weighted mean obtained was 4.58 interpreted as “Highly Evident”. As

assessed by the teacher-respondents, the over-all weighted mean obtained was 4.54 verbally

interpreted as “Highly Evident”.

It could be deduced from the results that the instructional module, as assessed by the two

groups of respondents, is an effective instructional material in the teaching of Visual Graphic

Arts using Photoshop in the field of Technology and Livelihood Education – Information and

Communication Technology (TLE-ICT).

DISCUSSION

First Paragraph

Guide Questions:

- Discuss the relationships, correlations and patterns among the data that were presented

previously. (Synthesis of the Result and RRL’s)

- How do the results agree with previous studies and what can be its possible contributions?

- How is the study different from other existing studies? Why do you think it is so?

Second Paragraph

Guide Questions:

- What can be its practical implications?

Third Paragraph

Guide:

- Acknowledge the things that cannot be concluded based on the results that were generated.

- The limitations of the study might be coming from the following: overall research design,

specific methods used, and unanticipated obstacle that emerged during the research process.

- Future research may come from limitations. Provide concrete ideas how recommended future

studies will be able to build on areas the research was not able to address.

Fourth Paragraph

Guide Question:

- What are the recommendations based on the results that can be made for practical

implementation or for possible further research?
