Learners By: HUMSS 11-3 RESEARCHERS ISSUE/PROBLEM Peer Pressure among Learners
• Peer pressure is one of the common factors
that affects the students decisions, behavior, values and etc. • This can result in either positive or negative effect. It can also affect the lives of a students drastically. • Everyone knows the old saying, "If all your friends were going to jump off a bridge, would you jump too?" It usually invokes an eye roll, but the fundamental issue is one that almost everyone faces at some time: how to deal with peer pressure. • Peer pressure can be good if it pushes a person out of their comfort zone and gives them an opportunity to discover new things. Statement of the Problem This study generally aims to determine the possible effects of peer pressure among learners. This study seeks to answer the following situations:
• How does peer pressure affect learners?
• Why does it affect learners?
• What are the common factors of peer
pressure? Literature Review Related Literature The Influence of Peer Groups on Academic Success By Sallee, Margaret W.; Tierney, William G.
The authors examine how peer relationships
influence students’ academic success. • After defining peer groups, the article considers the way in which students’ peer networks facilitate or inhibit access to academic resources. The authors argue that the composition and purpose of a peer group influence academic achievement and students’ likelihood to pursue and persist in postsecondary education. Human beings spend their lives tangled in a complex web of relationship. Methodology • The study examined on what are the reasons why learners give in, and on how would affect it to the life of learners. This study will help the learners to know its effects to themselves. Its main objective is to be able to give a trust worthy research and give an important lesson to the learners. And to help learners who are undergoing peer pressure. Research Design • The research design that is going to be use is the qualitative descriptive design. The design aims to identify whether it can affect to their personal growth, self-development and in making decisions. And what are the common reasons why learners give in to the pressure of their peers. For this study observation and survey are very useful, because the researcher aimed to find whether the peer pressure affect their aspects in life. The Sample • The method of Random Sample used to cull a smaller sample size from a larger population and use it to research and make generalizations about the larger group. It is one of several methods statisticians and researchers use to extract a sample from a larger population. • Researchers generate a simple random sample by obtaining an exhaustive list of a larger population and then selecting, at random, a certain number of individuals to comprise the sample. With a simple random sample, every member of the larger population has an equal chance of being selected.
• Simple random sampling is the
basic sampling technique where we select a group of subjects (a sample) for study from a larger group (a population). Each individual is chosen entirely by chance and each member of the population has an equal chance of being included in the sample. The Instruments
• The instrument of this study is doing the
interview and by interviewing 20 respondents in which it can help the study. The involve respondents will be handing questionnaire that is specific to the study Data Collection Procedure
• The researcher will be giving the letter of
permission before conducting survey. Having the letter consent from the school principal. A questionnaire is going to be made to collect information. The format that is used in the questionnaire were only yes, no; agree and disagree. Plan for Data Analysis • Researchers will be using the “Quantitative data analysis” It is a systematic approach to investigations during which numerical data is collected and/or the researcher transforms what is collected or observed into numerical data. It often describes a situation or event, answering the 'what' and 'how many' questions you may have about something. THANK YOU & GOD BLESS US ALL!!!
