    The document describes the research methods that will be used in a study about the effects of computer games on student performance. It will use a descriptive method to study 50 randomly selected 5th grade students. Data will be collected through a researcher-created questionnaire given to students, which will gather personal information, details on game usage, and perceptions of playing games. Statistical analysis will include frequency distributions, means, and weighted means to analyze responses.

    METHODS OF STUDY AND SOURCES OF DATA

    This chapter presents the method of research, the subjects of the study, the method of

    gathering data, the research instruments or tools and the statistical treatment of the gathered data.

    Research Design

    The Descriptive Method will be used in this research to test the effects of computer games

    on the academic performance, problem-solving strategy, decision-making and spatial visualization

    of students. It will describe the data and characteristics about what is being studied. The idea

    behind this type of research is to study frequencies, averages, and other statistical calculations.

    Although this research is highly accurate, it does not gather the causes behind a situation.

    The 50 randomly selected Grade 5 students of Signal Village Elementary School will be

    selected prior to the conduct of the study.

    Subjects of the Study

    The subjects of this study will be 50randomly selected Signal Village Elementary School

    for the academic year 2018-2019 .

    Methods of Gathering Data

    The researcher will then administer the questionnaire to the respondents, conduct test and

    analyze the pertinent records to get the necessary data, retrieve the questionnaire from the class,

    collate and classify the questionnaire to examine and compare carefully in order to note points and

    verify the order, necessary for the completeness of the study. Statistically analyze and interpret the

    data.
    Instrument Used

    The main tool that will be used in gathering the data for this research is the researcher-

    made instrument. The questionnaire is divided into three main parts.

    Part I includes personal data information , which was used to draw important information

    about their gender, age, level and their final average based on the previous grading.

    Part II includes the game session and activities of the computer game players. It determines

    the type of computer game being played, how often the students’ play online games and the number

    of hours spent in playing the games.

    Part III of the questionnaire was used to draw information about the perceptions

    of the students playing online games about the behavior and other performance-related

    factors.

    Statistical Treatment

    The following were used in the analysis and interpretation of data.

    Tables were used for the presentation of data to facilitate understanding. Frequency and

    percentage distributions were used to facilitate the analysis of data. Graphs were used to show the

    difference in profiles and other factors at a glance. For the interpretation of the performances of

    the pupils, the following categories were used:

    Numerical Rating Descriptive Rating

    5 Always

    4 Oftentimes

    3 Sometimes
    2 Seldom

    1 Never

    Below are the Formulas used to arrive to the computation used by the Statistical Tool:
    1) Frequency Distribution = n / T * 100%

    Where:
    n = Number of respondents in a single gender classification
    T = Total number of respondents including all the gender classification

    2) Mean() = F(X1 + X2 + …… Xn) / n

    Where:
    F = Frequency that a given X was chosen by the respondents
    X = Represents any of the numerical ratings 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 represents, excellent, very good,
    good, fair, poor
    n = Total number of respondents
    3) Weighted mean(x) = f(X1 + X2 + …… Xm)n / N

    Where:
    n = Total numbers of criteria

    Where:
    T = Computed + Value
    Xp = Overall rating for proposed system
    Xe = Overall rating for existing system
    Np and Ne = Degree of Freedom
