Research Participants
My participants of this qualitative inquiry employing
phenomenological approach will be the grade five students of
Vicente Hizon Sr. Elementary School, School Year 2014- 2015. Purposive sampling will be utilized for the selection of
participants since the main interest of this study is to work
with small samples to achieve an in-depth understanding of
the phenomenon and to create rapport with the participants in
order to obtain authentic in-depth information (Hesse-Biber
and Leavy, 2011). Likewise, Creswell (2013) and Lichtman
(2012), pointed out that purposive sampling gives the
researcher an opportunity to choose the most effective
informant available for the study.
