samples-what sampling techniques will you use.
Take note that the sampling procedure should be scientific. Avoid
arbitrariness.
Consider also that the sampling procedures and sample size
determination should pass the test of representativeness.
3. Data Gathering Methods
It presents a detailed description of each research instrument used, and
when necessary, explains in detail how the psychometric properties
(item analysis, validity, and reliability) were ensured.
In case the instruments have been adopted, the sources should be
properly cited and available psychometric properties be indicated.
4. Data Gathering Procedure

E. Chapter 5: SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, & RECOMMMENDATIONS
The findings must be summed up altogether. Each specific question
under the statement of the problem must be answered chronologically.
The findings should be textual generalizations.
Conclusions should point out what were factually learned from the
inquiry. It should be formulated concisely, that is, brief and short, yet
convey all the necessary information.
