METHOD USED FOR THE STUDY
There are 3 major categories of research methods according to Mouly (1970).They are as follows;
1.Normative method
2.Experimental method
3.Normative survey method
NORMATIVE SURVEY METHOD
The survey approach is the most commonly used approach in the educational field.This method is used for collecting and analysing data obtained from a large cross section of the population and it is collected with the help of a detailed scale or interview.This method involves interpretation,comparison,measurement,evaluation and generalization.For the present study the investigator used survey method for collecting data.
TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES
Tools and techniques employed as a measure to gather new facts of to explore new fields (John W Best).Different types of data collection use different types of tools.
For the present study a personal data sheet along with a questionnaire was used.The personal data sheet contained details of name,sex,age,class,name of the school and locate of the school.
SAMPLE SELECTED FOR THE STUDY
A sample of 60 high school students of 2 schools of Thiruvananthapuram district were selected to find the effects of social media among adolescents in learning programme respect to sex,age,class location of schools.Distribution of sample is given in table;
ADMINISTRATION OF TOOLS
After getting the permission from the Head of the Institution,the investigator personally administered the questionnaire to the students of various schools.Before distributing the questionnaire clear instructions were given.The questionnaire was given to 60 students that include 30 male and 30 female students.Finally 60 were analysed.
CONSOLIDATION OF DATA
The data was analyzed by using the following statistical techniques.
1.PERCENTAGE
2.MEAN
3.STANDARD DEVIATION
MEAN
Mean is the simplest measurement of central tendency and is a widely used measure.It's chief use consists in summarizing the essential features of series and enabling data to be compared.It is more stable and suitable for further calculations.
N=The total number of students
X=The arithmetic mean
=The sum of the series of scores obtained by total number of students
STANDARD DEVIATION
It is widely used measures of dispersion of a series and is defined as the square root of average squares of deviations,when such deviations for the values of individual items in a series are obtained from the arithmetic average.It is least affected by sampling fluctuations.
SD=Standard deviation of score
N=Total number of students
F=Frequency
PERCENTAGE
In mathematics, a percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign, "%", or the abbreviations "pct.", "pct"; sometimes the abbreviation "pc" is also used.[1] A percentage is a dimensionless number (pure number)
