    The document discusses the sampling technique, data gathering procedure, and statistical analysis used in a study. It used stratified random sampling to select nursing students from different year levels. Respondents answered a questionnaire by ranking close-ended choices. Kendall's W was used to statistically analyze the data and measure agreement between raters' rankings, with values closer to 1 indicating more agreement and closer to 0 indicating less agreement or randomness.

    Sampling Technique

    The type of sampling utilizes in the study is the stratified Random Sampling.

    Here, the population is subdivided into sections then random samples are taken. With the

    four year levels in the college of Nursing, which are Level I, Level II, Level III and Level

    IV, The researchers get one level to focus in the study which is the level III.

    Data Gathering Procedure

    The respondents are given the task to answer the questionnaire made by the

    researchers by simply checking each close-ended questionnaire by simply checking how

    they rank the choices. Then, the researchers will compute and evaluate each data.

    Statistical Analysis

    Kendall's W (also known as Kendall's coefficient of concordance) is a non-

    parametric statistic. It is a normalization of the statistic of the Friedman test, and can be

    used for assessing agreement among raters. Kendall's W ranges from 0 (no agreement) to

    1 (complete agreement).

    Suppose, for instance, that a number of people have been asked to rank a list of

    teaching concerns, from most important to least important. Kendall's W can be calculated

    from these data. If the test statistic W is 1, then all the survey respondents have been

    unanimous, and each respondent has assigned the same order to the list of concerns. If W

    is 0, then there is no overall trend of agreement among the respondents, and their

    responses may be regarded as essentially random. Intermediate values of W indicate a

    greater or lesser degree of unanimity among the various responses.


    While tests using the standard Pearson correlation coefficient assume normally
    distributed values and compare two sequences of outcomes at a time, Kendall's W makes
    no assumptions regarding the nature of the probability distribution and can handle any
    number of distinct outcomes.

    W is related to the mean value of the Spearman's rank correlation coefficients


    between all pairs of the rankings over which it is calculated.

    (w)

    ASSUMPTION:

    1) Data are ordinal of 3 or more variable


    2) Hypothesis of assessment or concordance in ranking is to be tested
    3) Obtained W is interpreted like Pearson R or Spearman j (0.00-1.00)
    4) Test the significance by chi-square test

    W (m) (n-1)

    nm (n - 1)

    df k–1
    Where: m = # of raters

    n = # of items rank

    D = sum of squared deviations from average rank

    If the test statistic W is 1, then all the survey respondents have been unanimous,

    and each respondent has assigned the same order to the list of concerns. If W is 0, then

    there is no overall trend of agreement among the respondents, and their responses may be

    regarded as essentially random. Intermediate values of W indicate a greater or lesser

    degree of unanimity among the various responses.
