CHAPTER 2

METHODOLOGY

This chapter presents the descriptive research use in the procedure study. The
research design and the respondents of the study as well as the data gathering procedure, the
research instrument and the statistical of data will be discussed.

Research Design
In this study the researcher wants to aim the importance and the difference of two
individual techniques in dealing of their profession using the two alternative ways of learning:
design practice and learning principles. This research design used the descriptive method which
is the historical and comparative to gather the data and also used to describe contemporary
events.
Thus, the researcher aims to know the difference and the effectivity between two
alternative ways of learning and to determine where the Architecture students of University of
Mindanao mostly developed.

Research Subjects
The respondents of this study were the students of the University of Mindanao from
College of Architecture and Fine Arts Education specially the Architecture students who were
enrolled for School Year 2015-2016. The researchers randomly selected 30 students. The study
were conducted inside the University of Mindanao, Matina Campus.

Research Instrument
The researcher developed a structured questionnaire to the respondents, which was
constructed based on the readings and findings of different literatures from books, internet, and

also from the researcher questions itself base on the respondents proficiency. The
questionnaire has attached the description of the purpose and importance of the study covers
the topic of the learning between Design practice and Architectural principles in the students of
Architect in University of Mindanao.
This five point liker scale used to rate the item analysis of the respondents in the
questionnaire as level in time motion study between manual drafting and AutoCAD.

Data Gathering Procedure

The researcher study included analysis of all the research and articles that supports the
study of the learning between Design practice and Architectural principles to provide information
on the variables under this study.
The following were the steps undergone by the researchers in conducting the study:
Seeking Permission to Conduct the Study. The researchers provide a letter of
permission or endorsement letter and submitted to the office of the dean of College of
Architecture in the University of Mindanao to conduct the study and survey.
Upon the approval receive from the deans office the researchers personally immediate
administered the gathering instrument with the assistance of teachers in university of Mindanao.

Administration and Retrieval of the Questionnaire. The researchers personally

distribute the questionnaire were thoroughly given the instruction. Questions and clarification
were entertained and after each respondent was done answering the questionnaire the
researchers immediately retrieved.

Retrieval of the Instrument.

The gathered data through the questionnaire were

collated, tallied, and was subjected to statistical analysis and carefully encode and presented.

Statistical of Data
The responses of the participants through questionnaire were tested using the following
statistical tools:

Mean. This was used to determine the difference and the learning between Design
practice and Architectural principles preparing by the Architecture students of University of
Mindanao.
Person-r. This is a measure of relationship between the two alternative ways. This was
used to determine the significance of the learning between the Design practice and Architectural
principles that exerted by the students of Architecture.
