CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the methods and procedures used in conducting the study. It
consists of the research design, the location of the study, the population and sample from
which the data will be drawn, the data collection procedure, and the statistical treatment
of the data.
Research Design
This study uses the descriptive-survey method of research to identify and satisfy
the research objectives. The descriptive-survey method will be used to answer the
statement of the problem, such as the demographic profile of the respondents. A
descriptive-survey method was employed to determine the demographic profile and to
measure the level of the knowledge and the practices of grade 11 and 12 students on
Maryhill College on their awareness in the use of contraceptives and condoms in
preventing early pregnancy. The study uses descriptive-survey method to determine the
knowledge of the students in using contraceptives and condoms to prevent early
pregnancy.

Research Locale
In order for the researchers to obtain and collect data and information regarding
the Students' Awareness on the Use of Contraceptives and Condoms of grade 11 and 12
students of Maryhill College with Preventing Early Pregnancy, the study was conducted
in Maryhill College, a Private Roman Catholic Education Institutional located at M.L.
Tagarao St. Lucena City Quezon. It was founded in 1938 and was formerly known as
Maryknoll Academy and Maryhill College. The institution has basic and higher
education which provides the quality education among students to become responsible
and competitive citizens. The said school was introduced in the modern way of teaching
and provides different learning instruments with the help of technology.
Maryhill College was chosen as the designated location for the researchers to
collect data from because it is the most accessible location for the researchers and
participants. It was accessible enough for them to gather the data and information
required for this study.
Research Population and Sample
The respondents will be chosen using systematic random sampling, a type of
probability sampling. Based on the population projection of Maryhill College Inc. for the
academic year 2022-2023, the senior high school department has a total population of
3
487 students with 214 grade 11 students and 273 grade 12. Thus, the total population of
the study is 487.
To determine the number of respondents of the study, Slovin’s formula will be
used as follows:
N
n=
1+ N e 2
Where: n = sample size
N = population size
e = margin of error
487
n=
1+(487) ¿ ¿
n = 82.9 or 83
Therefore, the total number of respondents for this study will be 83 students from grade
11 and 12 in Maryhill College. It represents 17. 04% of the total population of senior high
school students in Maryhill College.
Research Instrument
The researchers composed survey questionnaires that served as their instrument in their
study. The language of the questionnaire was in English. It was drawn out based on the
questions that were in the statement of problem of the researchers. The instrument was
divided into two main parts: the demographic profile of the respondents and the question

proper. The demographic profile includes the name (optional), gender, and grade and
section . On the other hand, the question proper focuses on determining the students' level
of awareness on the use of contraceptives and condoms in preventing early pregnancy in
terms of knowing the sexual education , their knowledge about how sexually active they
are, knowing how to use contraceptives, and how aware they are when it comes to
entering on the risk of early pregnancy. The researchers are giving the participants the
freedom to express their views openly. The instrument was distributed and answered by
the respondents of Senior High School Students in Maryhill College, Lucena City.
Data Gathering Procedure
The developed questions were initially submitted for approval. Following approval, the
researchers will write letters requesting permission to conduct their study inside Maryhill
College to the principal and research adviser. Prior to conducting the survey, we must
obtain written agreement from the participants/respondents and inform them of what will
be required of them. The researchers will next move forward with using a descriptive
survey method with their selected participants. Building a rapport with the respondents
was done prior to data collection so that the participants could provide the information
required for the study. Then, using questions that will be presented to the respondents, a
detailed descriptive survey will be conducted. The information collected is reviewed and
analyzed by the researchers after the experiment.
Statistical Treatment of Data

In order to interpret the data, various statistical treatments will be applied as follows: For
sub-problem 1, the researcher ought to determine the demographic profile of the
respondents. The Percentage Formula will be employed. The formula for calculating the
percentage is:
