CHAPTER 2 Distinction Between Related Literature and Related Studies:
Related Literature refers to the theoretical background, ideas, and concepts that relate to the study.
Related Studies refer to empirical research or previous studies that have investigated similar topics.
One Related Literature and Discussion:
Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers (RA 12021) – This literature emphasizes the importance of the Magna Carta in protecting the rights, welfare, and safety of Filipino seafarers, ensuring they are treated fairly both locally and internationally.
One Related Study and Discussion:
Dela Cruz (2019) – This study found that maritime students lacked detailed knowledge about the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers, suggesting that maritime institutions need to integrate more comprehensive lessons on maritime law into their curricula.
Sources for Related Literature:
Laws and regulations (e.g., Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers, Republic Act 12021).
Reports and publications from organizations (e.g., MARINA, International Maritime Organizations).
Sources for Related Studies:
Academic papers, journal articles, and research conducted by scholars (e.g., studies by Dela Cruz, Batac).
Reports and surveys conducted by maritime institutions or agencies.

2. Research Design Used by the Researcher:
The researcher used a descriptive-correlational design to determine the level of awareness, perception, and the relationship between these factors and the impact of the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers on maritime students.
3. Why Descriptive-Correlational was the Best Method:
The descriptive-correlational method was best because it allowed the researcher to describe the current awareness and perceptions of maritime students regarding the Magna Carta, as well as correlate these factors with the students' assessment of its impact. This helped in identifying patterns or relationships between variables (awareness, perception, and impact).
4. Descriptive Design in the Study:
The study described the awareness and perception of maritime students regarding the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers. It also examined the general characteristics (age, gender, academic level) of the respondents.
5. Correlational Design in the Study:
The study correlated the respondents' awareness and perception of the Magna Carta with their assessment of its impact on maritime students. It aimed to identify if a significant relationship exists between these variables.
6. Number of Respondents:
The study focused on NJ2C2 students of the Philippine Merchant Marine School (PMMS), but the exact number of respondents isn't specified in the provided details.
7. Sampling Technique Used by the Researcher:
The researcher used a non-probability sampling technique (specifically purposive sampling), selecting respondents from the NJ2C2 class of PMMS.
8. Why Non-Probability Sampling Was Used:
Non-probability sampling was used because the researcher needed to focus on a specific group of students (NJ2C2 maritime students of PMMS) who were knowledgeable about the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers. This method allowed for selecting participants who could provide the most relevant data for the study.
9. Differentiating Non-Probability Sampling and Probability Sampling:
Non-Probability Sampling: Involves selecting respondents based on judgment or convenience. It doesn't ensure that every individual has a known or equal chance of being selected. Common techniques include purposive and convenience sampling.
Probability Sampling: Ensures that each individual in the population has a known and equal chance of being selected. Common methods include simple random sampling, stratified sampling, and cluster sampling.Data Gathering Procedure:
The data was gathered using a survey method, where the respondents were asked to answer questionnaires focused on their awareness, understanding, and perception of the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers. The respondents were maritime students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation program, specifically Junior two students from NJ2C2. The surveys were distributed, completed, and then collected for analysis.
Statistical Tools Utilized:
Frequency – Used to count how often each response or category appeared in the survey.
Percentage – Used to represent the proportion of each category relative to the total number of respondents.
Mean – Used to calculate the average score of respondents' answers to understand the central tendency of their responses.
Standard Deviation – Used to measure the variability or spread of responses from the mean, showing how consistent or varied respondents' answers were.
Why Use Frequency?
Frequency helps in determining how many times a specific response or category occurs within the data set, providing insight into the distribution and tendencies within the sample.
Why Use Percentage?
Percentage is used to express the frequency of each category as a portion of the total. This makes it easier to compare the data, as it standardizes the numbers, regardless of the sample size, giving a clear representation of how common each response is.
Purpose of Mean:
The mean provides a measure of central tendency, summarizing the average response of the group. It helps in understanding the overall trend or general opinion of respondents on a particular item or subject.
Why Use Standard Deviation?
Standard deviation is used to measure the spread or dispersion of responses. A low standard deviation indicates that respondents' answers are consistent, while a high standard deviation suggests significant variation in their opinions. This helps in assessing the homogeneity or heterogeneity of the respondents' perceptions and opinions.
Statement of the Problem #1: "What is the profile of the respondents?"
Statistical Tool Used: Frequency and Percentage
Frequency was used to determine how often each response (age, gender, academic program, academic level) occurred. Percentage was then used to express these frequencies as a portion of the total number of respondents.
Statement of the Problem #2: "What is the awareness and understanding of the respondents on the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers?"
Statistical Tool Used: Mean and Standard Deviation
The mean was used to calculate the average level of awareness and understanding of the respondents. The standard deviation was used to measure the variability or consistency of their responses.
Statement of the Problem #3: "What is the perception of the respondents on the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers?"
Statistical Tool Used: Mean and Standard Deviation
The mean was used to calculate the respondents' average perception of the Magna Carta. The standard deviation helped assess the consistency or variability in their responses.
Statement of the Problem #4: "What is the impact of the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers on maritime students?"
Statistical Tool Used: Mean and Standard Deviation
The mean was used to assess the respondents' average perception of the Magna Carta's impact. Standard deviation was applied to understand the consistency of responses across respondents.
Statement of the Problem #5: "What are the correlates of the impact of the Magna Carta of Filipino Seafarers on maritime students?"
Statistical Tool Used: Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r) and p-value
The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to measure the strength and direction of the relationship between variables (awareness and perception) and the impact on students. The p-value determined the statistical significance of these correlations.
Statement of the Problem #6: "What is the relationship between the respondents' awareness, understanding, and perceptions of the Magna Carta and its impact on maritime students?"
Statistical Tool Used: Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r) and p-value
Pearson correlation was used to measure the relationship between variables like awareness and perception and the impact on students. The p-value was used to assess the significance of these relationships.
