Chapter 3: Methodology

Conceptual Framework

The researchers used this framework as a basis due to it having the necessary data needed
connected to their study. Data such as the environmental effects of a material and the resources it
uses. It also tackles how the material can affect the people and environment, as well as the
ethical validity of using that material. The framework also shows how the material will be
affected through economic usage and its efficiency in price, quality and production costs.
 A. Steps of Data Gathering:
1. Collaboration
- The researchers will gather information and find the problems in their study
2. Problem Identification
- To identify and gather what issues and problems that are found within the
study.
3. Formulation
- To formulate into research objectives, to know what information is needed in
the study.
4. Questions
- To identify and analyze the issues and problems on how the materials affect
the performance of an aircraft and needs for improvement.
5. Setting Suitable Respondents
- in order to gather data, the researchers must seek for participants that have
experience in aircraft construction and knowledge in the materials used.
6. Interview
- to see the best opinion given by the participants and their overall
recommendation.
7. Output
- to seek the answers of which materials are used and recommended by both
pilots and mechanics.
8. Extraction/ Encoding
- to gather data used from the interview and the different opinions of the
respondents.
9. Data Analysis
– Once the data has been gathered, review and interpret the data.

B. Venue of the Study:

The researchers will conduct the study in WCC Aeronautical and Technological College North
Manila in 461, World Citi Colleges Building, William Shaw Street, Grace Park, Caloocan, 1406
Metro Manila.

Background
Criteria of Respondents
 WCC-ATC North Manila AMT Students
 WCC-ATC Binalonan AMT Students
 WCC-ATC North Manila C.E.A.T. Professors
 WCC-ATC Binalonan C.E.A.T. Professors
 PATTS Aviation Students
 PATTS Aviation Professors
 Student Pilots
 Student Aircraft Mechanic
 Professional Aircraft Mechanic
 Professional Pilots
In this study, our targeted or the selected respondents for our study is mainly focused on students
and professors affiliated to the aviation course which is none other than WCC-ATC from both
North Manila and Binalonan. To expand the educational respondents, we would also interview
PATTS students as well as professors. Lastly, to further any statements made from people under
education, we would interview the people who are under training up to the experienced pilots
and aircraft mechanics.
D. Instruments & Procedure of the Study
The researchers conducted the gathering of data through a survey form as the instrument, handed
out to the respondents of the study. The researchers personally handed out the surveys and it is
expected to be answered and given back within the day.
