METHODOLOGY
Research Design
The researcher uses descriptive research design to identify the impact of
pandemic in grade 11 students of Panpacific University. According to Sumit et al.
(2021) “Descriptive research design is a type of research design that aims to
systematically obtain information to describe a phenomenon, situation, or
population. More specifically, it helps answer the what, when, where, and how
questions regarding the research problem rather than the why.”
Population and Locale of the Study
The researcher selected grade 11 students randomly which consists of
twenty-one (16) girls and twenty-one (20) boys for STEM strand, HUMSS has four
(4) girls and nine (5) boys, while MARITIME has four (3) boys total of forty-eight
(48) students. We chose grade 11 as our respondents, because whatever the
result and recommendations of this study can be applied for the future
generations.4
Data Gathering Tools
The researchers would use survey questionnaires, which were adapted
from the study of Moneva (2020) entitled “Class Size and Students’ Anxiety in
Oral Recitation” to determine the student’s profile and their participation level to
identify the difference on their participation level. The researcher uses a set of
questions that would identify the impact of the pandemic in grade 11 students of
Panpacific University. The mean was interpreted using the 5-point Likert Scale
shown in Table 1.

students during oral recitation.
