INTRODUCTION
This chapter elaborates the data gathered and the method of analysis the researchers employed to objectively draw out beneficial results and findings from the data. Charts were employed for the presentation of findings, and Percentages (%) were used to show differences among variables measured. Each item (question) in the questionnaire is analyzed and discussed based on the number of valid answers.
