Introduction

Matters not if a person were to be working or studying. If a person were surrounded by

factors of distraction, that person will succumb to such a distraction in a midst of

concentrating in completing his or her task. One of the few distraction were hypothesized to

be peer group. Yet, such distractions are not to be confused with teamwork because

teamwork may have the same task as the person. The question of whether or not completing a

task alone is far efficient than working with a bunch of peers are to be researched.

Hypothesis

Through experience of studies and observation, it is most likely possible for a person to

succumb to this factor of distraction. Due to this, it is possible for students to be more

efficient in studying alone than in distracted condition.

Variables

Manipulated:

The type of peers they normally work with

Age

Approximate amount of people in a peer

Responding:

Percentage of getting a satisfied grades

Percentage of preferring to work alone or otherwise

Constant:

Their Age

Their Environment

Research Method

The research will use Quantitative and Qualitative method. Quantitative method will be used

to evaluate the level of distraction by using scales whereas Qualitative method will be used to

describe the types of peer group the volunteer have through description.

The survey will be prepared by the group. The entire survey will begin by asking the

volunteer’s name, age, gender and employment status. The next page of the survey will be

divided into four sections:

Understanding Peers- This is made for grouping in data collection

Situation- This is made to understand what the volunteer would respond

Aftermath- This is made to understand the efficiency of his respond

Opinion- What the volunteer suggests

The survey will be given to the volunteer after the volunteer agrees to fill in the survey. The

brief will be given to the volunteer but the purpose of the survey will be told after the

volunteer fills in the survey.

Ethical consideration

As “noble scientist”, rules were made to respect the generosity of the volunteers for aiding

the research.

1. Volunteers are free to reject filling in the survey if they find the survey either too

personal, offensive or sensitive in the middle of the survey or before the survey

2. Volunteers must be informed about the purpose of the research and the brief of filling

in the survey

3. No foul swears or offensive words are used. Tone of speaking must be polite to

volunteers.

4. The questions within the survey must not be too personal or relate to any sensitive

issues such as racism, politics, religion and so on
