Research Methodology

This study is mainly concerned with the levels of interaction with the opposite sex of students from mixed gender and exclusive schools. The data will be gathered through a survey questionnaire distributed to students of the targeted schools. Conclusions will be drawn from the results of the analyzed data.

Research Design

This study is a qualitative research that attempts to accumulate existing knowledge regarding the governing principles of teenage socialization. At the end of this study, we would like to be able to explain the relationship between the levels of socialization of high school students in Cebu City and the type of school they are in. This research would utilize both descriptive and exploratory research methods. One of the most common type of descriptive method is the survey. We made use of the observations we had while interacting with people that came from exclusive schools. We then conducted an online survey among three different schools: Saint Theresa’s College, Don Bosco Technology Center, and Sacred Heart School- Jesuits. The utilization of exploratory research is to explain problems and causes of the phenomenon that happens only to exclusive school students. We also make use of existing literature to verify our observations and to come up with basic ideas for this research problem.

Sampling Procedure

The sampling procedure used is convenience sampling method. Due to limited time, it would me more preferable to use this non-probability procedure. We also have to consider that we are dealing with three schools and choosing our respondents randomly will help us accommodate the three schools.

Research Participants

The participants of this research will be randomly selected fourth year high school students from exclusive boys’ school, exclusive girls’ school, and mixed gender school here in Cebu City. For exclusive boys’ school, we decided to choose Don Bosco Technological Center, for exclusive girls’ school, we selected St. Theresa’s College, and for mixed gender school, we chose Sacred Heart School- Ateneo de Cebu. We chose these specific educational institutions because the social status of their students is more likely not far from each other. We limited our study to fourth year high school students only since we believe that this time of high school is the period where in students are more active in mingling with other people outside their homes and schools.

Research Instruments

We will use questionnaires as our research instrument. We will further divide the questionnaire into four portions. The first part covers the necessary information about the respondent. We will only need to know their age, sex, and the school he/she is attending. The second part of the questionnaire will be all about the respondent’s exposure to the opposite sex and how he/she is socially involved with the members of the other sex, the third part is the main body of our questionnaire because it will uncover the respondent’s experience when interacting with the opposite sex. This will determine which level of interaction with the opposite sex the respondent belongs. And lastly, the fourth part of our questionnaire will make the participant evaluate him/herself on which level of interaction with the opposite sex does he/she think he/she belongs.

Data Collection

We will distribute our questionnaire to 30 randomly selected fourth year high school students from our selected schools. There will be 10 students from each school. The distribution of questionnaires is expected to be accomplished within a week’s time.

Data Analysis

The data gathered will be analyzed. The participants’ answers from the first two parts of the questionnaire are the factors to be considered in the study. Their answers to the situational statements will be summed up and will be grouped according to which level of interaction with the opposite sex. These are low, moderate, and high level of interaction with the opposite sex. From this data, we will then conclude if there is a correlation between the level of interaction with the opposite sex and the type of school of the students.
