7. REFLECTIONS ON DATA
GATHERING
• Consulting with our thesis adviser should be the first thing in our
minds whenever we’re planning to implement something in our
thesis. We should take note of every advises for the improvement of
the study. Furthermore, we should also review our thesis proposal
from time to time so we will not lose our track in our approved
process of data gathering. Through this, we will avoid mistakes.
• Open communication within the group is also important in the whole
thesis process. Addressing suggestions, comments and changes in the
thesis should be known by each members of the group. Keeping a
professional environment within the group and to the people that will
be part of the study is a must and should be observed. But still, we
should take into consideration that we should address everything in a
proper and respectful way. This is really important in our data
gathering, since we are just asking for the participant’s time, I think,
we should approach them nicely but still keeping the professional
environment. In this way, we will avoid offending or intimidating
other people.

8. REFLECTIONS ON DATA
GATHERING
“Openness is a key to a good communication.”
Communication may sometimes be a hindrance when we
get to talk with a group mate, and “hiya” comes out. What
I’ve learned in our group is that, we have to be open with
not just ideas but as well as openness to emotions so that
we will become harmonized as a group until the last peak
of our work, not just in our thesis work, but also to
friendship.
Sensitivity for one another is also a gift that will lead to a
healthy friendship. Caring for one another is so far the best
thing that we have to show in our group by updating one
another regarding the works. Caring is also a
manifestation that we love the person that is why we
remind them all the time.

9. REFLECTIONS ON DATA
GATHERING
• During our data gathering, I enjoyed the experience of administering
tests because this boost up my self confidence. After taking the exam,
a student approached me asking what is the scale all about. I really
appreciated her curiosity towards our test because other students will
immediately go after taking the tests. The deans and teachers were
very generous in providing us participants, moreover one dean even
thanked us for choosing their school. Overall, my data gathering
experience was wonderful. I can’t wait to search for new colleges and
encounter different
people.
• I’m glad that our group is now on the right track. For weeks, we were
lost and assumed that every decision we committed was correct.
Being enlightened by our mistakes, I hope that I will be a more
responsible group member. In a sense that, I will be cautious on every
move I commit. I’ll be working hard by devoting my vacant time for
thesis. Despite of the things that happened, our group is still
optimistic that will surpass this and will be able to finish our thesis
on schedule.

10. REFLECTIONS ON DATA
GATHERING
“As my primary concern was the delegation of duties, at first I
felt that I wasn’t doing enough for the group. This intensified
when the others would absent themselves from class to attend
to the participant-schools, however I did my best to keep them
up to date with schoolwork, and we’ve worked out a schedule
of sorts regarding the data gathering that would ensure equal
opportunities for all of us to experience it. I feel lucky to be in
this group because of what I see as the appropriate amount of
effort that we all put in.
We have arguments, but they are quickly glossed over and
confronted, as we all agree that they have no place in our
work. The sense of productivity is slow to come, and at times
I’m left wondering why I took Psych in the first place. But
then I realize that even as tough as things are getting, there’s
still nothing else I would want to do in the world.”
