Chi-square independence test
Ho: R+ = R-; the responses/suggested activities/projects by the two groups of respondents are independent
Ha: R+R-; the responses/suggested activities/projects by the two groups respondents are not independent
Test Statistics: Chi-square at alpha = 5% and 1%
Decision Rule: Reject Ho if chi-square computed > tabular value (alpha, 3) fail to reject otherwise
Computations:
chi-square computed, = 34.52
chi-square tabular, = 7.82
chi-square tabular, = 11.35
Decision: Since 34.52> 11.35, reject Ho.
Conclusion: At alpha = 1%, the responses/suggested activities/projects by the two groups of respondents are
statistically significant
In summary, both the descriptive and quantitative non parametric analysis demonstrated that most of the
suggested activities/projects by the UPLB students and NSTP faculty members were statistically significant and
is not independent from each other. There is therefore enough logic to consider the suggested activities/projects
on Ecological Balance, Cultural Cohesiveness, Moral-Spiritual Consensus and “Others” to be included in the
ROTC POI to generate more ROTC enrollees.
Conclusions
From the findings of the study, the following conclusions were deduced:
• There are three major elements of National Security (Ecological Balance, Cultural Cohesiveness, and
Moral-Spiritual Consensus) for which respondents were asked to enumerate their suggestions on what
projects/activities should be included in the PA ROTC POI. For Ecological Balance, the projects/activities
can be categorized into four: 1) Information, Education, and Communication Campaigns, 2) Fund Raising,
3) Carrying-out Specific Environmental Activities or Projects, and 4) Holistic/Broad Project
Proposals/Monitoring of Existing Projects. For Cultural Cohesiveness, the projects/activities fall into four
categories, namely: 1) Cultural Presentations and Showcasing of Local Products, 2) Bayanihan/Socio-
Cultural Activities, 3) Seminars/Lectures/Competitions, and 4) Community Development Work/Outreach
Programs with Indigenous People. In terms of Moral-Spiritual Consensus, suggested projects/activities can
be divided into four major categories: 1) Convention/Seminars/Speaking Contest/Film-Making on
Patriotism, National Pride, Ethics, Political Lectures and Drills and Public Display of ROTC Activities, 2)
Team Building/Leadership Trainings/Prayer Meetings, 3) IEC Materials Featuring National
Concerns/Heroes, and 4) Field Trips/Camp Nights/Sport Activities and Community Service.
• There were other suggested activities respondents were interested in carrying out which they perceive do
not necessarily fall under Ecological Balance, Cultural Cohesiveness, and Moral-Spiritual Consensus.
These include Feeding Programs, Fun-Runs, First Aid Seminars, Fashion Shows, and Government
watchdog type undertakings.
• Both UPLB students and NSTP faculty respondents prioritized the same type of activities for two elements
