the town of Daanbantayan, toward the northeastern part.

Population and Sample Size

The sample was drawn from 90 Grade 11 students of Tominjao National

High School, School Year 2019-2020. The Slovin’s Formula was used to

compute the sample and stratified random sampling was employed in selecting

the student-respondents who became the subject of the study. Table 1 shows the

distribution of student-respondents per section.

Table 1 showed that the Grade 11 Department had a total of 90, 36 of

which were males and 44 were females. Of the total population, 66 students

were chosen as sample for the study using stratified random sampling. Of these,

30 were male and 36 were female students. Of the 33 Chef 11 students, 19

students were chosen as sample, 9 of which were males and 10 were females;

and for Gas 11, out of 57 students, 47 were chosen as sample of which 21 were

males and 26 were females. Stratified random sampling technique was adopted

so that each of the levels of stratum of the population is adequately represented

in the sample.

Sample Technique

The sample comprised of 66 Grade 11 students selected by stratified

random sampling technique using fishbowl method was adopted to select the

respondents from the total population of 90 Grade 11 students so that each

individual had an equal and independent chance of being selected.

 Each students’ name was written on a piece of paper and placed inside a

container. The container was then thoroughly shaken and slips of paper were

selected until the desired number of respondents was reached.

Respondents

There were two sets of respondents of this study as shown in Table 2.

First, the 66 Grade 11 student-respondents of Tominjao National High School,

Tominjao, Daanbantayan, Cebu, S.Y. 2019-2020, who provided the demographic

profile as to age and sex and second, the 8 Grade 11 teacher-respondents who

Grade 11 teacher-respondents, five or 62.50 percent were males and three or
