RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the research design, the respondents of the
study, instruments that will be used, validation of the instruments, data
gathering procedures and the statistical treatment of data.
Research Design
The proponent used descriptive method of research. It involves the
control or manipulation of conditions for the purpose of studying the relative
effects of various treatment applied to members of a sample or the same
treatment applied to members of different sample
In implementing the research method, the researcher would examined

The proponent used developmental Method, to determine the effects
and benefits of the design par'ing system.

th
%eneration techni&ue will be used by the proponents in developing
the software product. Since it has a vast choice of software tools, should not
limit himself to what software tools. (nli'e prototyping, spiral and waterfall

th
%eneration language.
Method Used in Ea!"ating the So#t$are %rod"ct
The $
th
%eneration techni&ue involved the following process) *+,The
re&uirement gathering, in which the proponent gathers the specific
information needed in wor'ing with the pro-ect. *", The design strategy, which
allows the proponent to wor' with the screen display or how the program runs
with the environment. */,and Implementing the pro-ect which allows the
proponent to fully test and evaluate the software product.
The survey &uestionnaire or chec'list was the main instrument to be
used in this study.

The roponents chose +2 of the rofessional *IT 1xperts, or 324 of
the total respondents because they ones who are capable of understanding
the system, thus could give more reliable perceptions. The remaining 2 (ser5s
of the software or "24 of the total respondents were chosen because there
are only 2 person who will use the system.
Data %athering rocedure
The researcher sought permission from the 6dministrator7Director of
8alamba Medical 8enter for the administration of his &uestionnaire to Driver7
owner of the 9ehicle and the 8ompany. Thereafter, he personally
administered the gathering of data from each of the respondents to assure
the reliability of the information that the respondents would provided.

6fter gathering the information proceeded in consolidating the survey
form and will analy:ed and interpreted the data using the appropriate
statistical treatment.
Statistical Treatment of Data
The following are the statistical tools utili:ed in this study)

An consolidating the data as to the perceptions of the two groups of
respondents on the 86;6M<6 M1DI86; 81=T10 relative to the cited
variables, weighted mean was used.
