CHAPTER III

METHODOLOGY
This chapter deals with the methods and procedures used in the conduct of this study. This includes the
discussion of the research design, the locale of the research, sampling, the research instruments, the
research procedure, data analysis, quality control plan, and ethical consideration.

RESEARCH DESIGN
According library.sacredheart.edu, the research design refers to the overall strategy that you choose to
integrate the different components of the study in a coherent and logical way, thereby, ensuring you will
effectively address the research problem; it constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement,
and analysis of data. This research approach is non-experimental, qualitative and case study. The
method of research design is phenomenological design because helps us to understand the meaning of
people’s lived experience. A phenomenological study explores people experienced and focuses on their
experience of a phenomena. The female high school students enrolled in LVD were selected as
participants of this study. To get information regarding with their experiences and coping situation. The
