    In this chapter, the methods and techniques applied and used by the researcher

    are discussed and also, in this chapter present the population and the sample of the

    the researcher.

    METHODS AND TECHNIQUES USED

    This research is centered on the perception of Humanities and Social Sciences

    that will be gathered will relate to the current status of the respondent’s way of thinking

    and perceiving the current issues being studied by the researchers.

    As mentioned by Tewksbury (2013), qualitative investigation is more informative,

    richer, and offers an improved understanding on the topic that a researcher is trying to

    examine. This just proves that the qualitative method of a research is the most

    applicable method to use in the topic of this research so that the researchers would be

    able to understand more the results and the opinions of the respondents regarding the

    topic of this research. Moreover, the qualitative method would give the researchers a

    wide range of data to analyze and understand.

    POPULATION AND SAMPLE OF THE STUDY

    This study has five randomly selected respondents from grade 11 Humanities

    and Social Science/HUMSS student of Manila Central University. To be specific, there

    will be two respondents for grade 11 HUMSS 1 and three respondent to HUMSS 4. The

    researchers used random sampling technique for the reason that random sample is a

    way to have equal chance to be selected therefore making the study unbiased. This

    means that this type of sampling can be very useful especially if you have to deal with a

    large population and only need to choose the representatives of the population

    randomly. With this, the researchers would gather an equal objective for the study from

    the respondents. To support this, Singh (n.d.) claimed that it is the easiest and frequent

    method of choosing respondents, wherein it is selected by a chance that gives equal

    probability to the chosen unit.

    certain group of individuals and to explore their perspectives on a particular idea,

    program or situation (Dudovskiy, 2019)

    These interview questions were formulated by the researchers in line with the

    English teachers or a Grammarian. The interview questions relating to the methodology

    DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE

    Before the researchers conducted interviews, the researchers have secured a

    letter of consent to be given to each of the respondents which is checked by their

    research adviser and validated by other English teachers or a Grammarian. Moreover,

    the researchers then formulated the interview questions that will give them the answers

    that will be connected to the aim of the research. There were five (5) respondents who

    participated in this research. Two (2) respondents came from Grade 11 HUMSS 1 and

    three (3) respondents came from HUMSS 4

    According to Creswell (1998) a qualitative analysis does not require to have as

    many respondents as a quantitative analysis. He also stated that having little or small

    amount of respondents will help the researchers attain answers that are more

    informative and has a wider range of perspective.

    The researchers conducted the interview by having a one on one conversation

    and interaction with the participant. In order to assure the participant on the

    confidentiality of the interview, the researchers only recorded and listed down the

    answers of the respondents anonymously. These were done in all five (5) respondents.

    After listing down the answers of the respondents, the researchers then analyzed

    the answers. In order for the researchers to analyze the answers, they reduced the

    data, chunked it, and then coded them each. Through this, the analyzation of the

    answers would be much easier and in order.
