8. DATA GATHERING
PRE-TEST
- Two (2) sets
- 1st set: all scales at the same time
- 2nd set: one scale at a time
- Introduction
- Instructions
- Answering of scales
- Passing of papers
- Debriefing
ACTUL TEST
- We chose set 1: give all scales at the same time then
follow the same procedure and flow.

9. REVISIONS IN THE PROCEDURE
• Consent form
• Change “mother’s status” to “Is your mother living or
deceased?”
• Follow-up question: If living, are you residing with your
mother?
• Debriefing Statement
• Debriefing will not be discussed anymore as a group,
we’ll just be giving them their own copies of the
debriefing statement with contact information when
they are finish answering the questionnaires.

10. REFLECTIONS
• What facilitated your data gathering?
• Accommodating and cooperative school heads,
faculty and students
• What hindered your data gathering?
• Few female students per class
• Some faculty were absent during the actual test
• Students hurrying to go back to what they are
doing

11. SOLUTION
• Decided to have five (5) groups of participants
instead of just two (2)
• Waited for the teachers to be available
• Have the debriefing statement printed and be
given to the participants afterwards

12. INDIVIDUAL INSIGHT
The data gathering that we are doing right now made me more
responsible and independent. Responsible in a way that I have to
continuously communicate with the different school heads / deans
for the schedule of the actual test that we’ll be conducting in their
respective schools/colleges. I have also become somehow
independent because there were instances that I have to go to the
different schools by myself.
Another lesson I’ve learned was that I have to manage my time and
balance everything I have to do. I have also learned to become
more patient and assertive when talking to the different school
heads. I can’t always get what I want. I need to work hard for
everything I am aiming for.
- Mara Flores

13. • I learned that Patience is really a virtue. From going to different
universities, meeting new people, set a schedule for the pre-
test and actual test, and spending money for fares, food and
other expenses like printing, it was a challenge for me to widen
and lengthen my patience in that kind of situation. I
experienced tiredness, exhaustion and it came to a point that I
want to give up. But still, I look into a positive way. I know there
is always someone who will inspire us to fulfill our goals and
task on time. I believe that it’s not how fast we finish the thesis,
but it’s how we make it be a good example for the future
researcher (quality).
