The Conceptual Framework and Research Hypotheses: in Focus

Here are the definitions of key terms used in the conceptual framework: Academic performance - The student's final grade in General Mathematics measured using their official school records. Stress tolerance - The ability of a student to withstand stressful events without negative physical and emotional consequences. This will be operationally defined as the total score in a standardized stress tolerance scale. Packaging - The manner in which a product is wrapped or contained for distribution, storage, sale, and end-use. This includes factors like color, material, shape and size. Selling power - The ability of a product to be commercially successful and preferred by consumers. This will be operationally defined as total sales volume prior to and after the packaging change.

SHS Students’ Social Media Usage and Their Attention Span in Class

Conceptual Framework

Figure 1 below illustrates the conceptual framework of the


research. The paradigm presents the variables that will be considered in
the research.

SHS students’ Social Media Usage


a. Forms of social media SHS students’ Attention
b. Frequency of social media use Span in class
c. Mode of social media use

Fig. 1 The Conceptual Framework of the Study

The level of SHS students’ social media usage will be described in the research in
terms of three sub-variables: (a) forms of social media; (b) frequency of social media
use; and (c) mode of social media use. In the research, this variable is seen to possess a
hypothesized relationship with SHS students’ attention span in class. This hypothesized
relationship is represented by the two-headed arrow connecting both variables.

Research Hypotheses
Definition of Terms
A hypothesis is a prediction of the possible outcomes of a study (Fraenkel &
Research Wallen, 2009).
Hypotheses are statements in quantitative research in which the investigator
Hypothesis makes a prediction or a conjecture about the outcome of a relationship among
attributes or characteristics (Creswell, 2012)

RQ: Does a SHS student’s academic performance in Math
have any association with his/her stress tolerance?

This study generally aims to determine if a SHS students’ academic performance in


Mathematics have any association with his/her stress tolerance.

Specifically, this study shall seek answers to the following questions:

a. sex?;
b. SHS strand?; and
c. final grade in General Mathematics?
2. What is the level of stress tolerance of Grade 11 students of DLSAU?
3. Is there a significant relationship between the DLSAU Grade 11 students’ final grade in
General Mathematics and their level of stress tolerance?

This study generally aims to identify the traits or characteristics of a professor that SHS
students believe are important.

Specifically, this study shall seek answers to the following questions:


1. What is the demographic profile of SHS students of DLSAU in terms of:
a. sex?;
b. grade level?; and
c. SHS strand?
2. What is the degree of importance of the following traits of a professor according to SHS
students of DLSAU:
a. physical appearance?;
b. intelligence?;
c. humor?;
d. strictness?;

3. Is there a significant difference between the male students’ preferred professor traits and 9
RQ: Can a new packaging improve the selling power of

This study generally aims to determine if a new packaging can improve the selling power of
<product>.

Specifically, this study shall seek answers to the following questions:


1. What is are the packaging preferences for <generic product> of DLSAU students in terms
of:
a. color?;
b. material?;
c. Shape?; and
d. size?
2. What is the level of selling power of <product>
a. Prior to the change in packaging?
b. With the new packaging?
3. Is there a significant difference between the level of selling power of <product> prior to
change in packaging and with the new packaging?
