Acknowledgement

I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude to those who have

helped me to make this research study possible especially to my teacher, Sir
Randy S. Gamboa for believing in me to conduct this study and his unfading
support in guiding me throughout the implementation of this study. To my adviser
of this study, Sir Roberto Canda, thank you for sharing your time and expertise in
guiding me this study.

To my research survey questionnaire validators, Sir Jappeht Fortich, Sir

Ariel Reyes and Sir Dan Virgel Ratilla, thank you for sharing your time and effort
in validating my survey questionnaire. Without the help of those validators, the
completion of this study would not be possible. To the Dean of Institute of
Computing, Sir Val Quimno, thank you for allowing me to distribute my
questionnaires to the students. To my family especially to my mother, sister and
brother, thank you for motivating me to do better in this endeavor and for your
love and continued support financially.

To my friends and classmates, Sheena “xen” Lañada, Ronie Biloy, Giese,

Cane Boy and other friends who have been part of this study, thank you for
showing your moral support and gracing your time with me.

Most of all, to Almighty God, Jesus Christ, thank you for giving me
strength and wisdom to continue this study. Thank you!
