= = =** 3.0 Introduction **=

There are several methods to collect the data of "couple" issue on UMP students such as interview, observation, experimentation, survey, case study, questionnaire and so forth. The method that we use to collect the data is questionnaire. We target 60 students from 2nd year FSKKP of Computer System and Networking students. To avoid some technical problems when collect the questionnaires, 60 questionnaires are distributed to UMP FSKKP 2nd year students of Computer System and Networking from each sections. There are four sections and to be fair, we distribute 15 questionnaires for each section.

= ** 3.1 Setting ** =

We target about 60 participants from UMP FSKKP 2nd year students of Computer System and Networking. To get a proper result, we have distributed 60 questionnaires to UMP FSKKP 2nd year students of Computer System and Networking from each section. There will be 15 questionnaires for Section 21, 15 questionnaires for Section 22, 15 questionnaires for Section 23 and 15 questionnaires for Section 24.

** 3.2.1 Instrument **

The instrument that we use to collect the primary source data is questionnaire. There are three sections in our questionnaire that are Section A, Section B and Section C. Before we precede to the Section A, participants must fill personal information such as gender. Those participants who have special partner (“couple”) will answer the questions at page 1 until page 3. It consists of Section A, Section B and also Section C which consist of Multiple Choice Questions, Scale Questions and Dichotomous Questions. Section A asks about the reasons why students choose to be a “couple”. Section B asks about the effects of “couple” while Section C asks about whether the relationship that students have today with their special partner (“couple”) can lead to marriage**.** Besides, those participants who did not have a special partner (“couple”) will answer questions at page 4 until page 6. It also consists of Section A, Section B and also Section C which consist of Multiple Choice Questions, Scale Questions and Dichotomous Questions. Section A asks about the reasons why students choose to be a “couple”. Section B asks about the effects of “couple” while Section C asks about whether the relationship that students have today with their special partner (“couple”) can lead to marriage same as those who have a special partner (“couple”) but the questions are more about the opinions of the participants toward “couple” issue.

** 3.2.2 Procedure **

First, a questionnaire of “couple” is created. Second, the questionnaire will be approved by our lecturer (Madam Ainol) before we distribute it. Third, the questionnaires are distributed to all 2nd year FSKKP students of Computer Science and Networking course. Since 2nd year FSKKP students of Computer Science and Networking course consists of four different sections (Section 21, Section 22, Section 23 and Section 24). Therefore, we are distributing 15 sets of the questionnaire to each section randomly on 19th September. The questionnaire sets are collected by ourselves from the respondents after they have answered the questionnaire. So far, 45 questionnaires has been collected on 21th of September. Finally, 2 days after that, we collected the remaining questionnaires from the respondents and we succeed to collect the 60 questionnaires back.

= 3.3 Data Analysis =

The first step of our data analysis is prepare the code sheet of the data that we get from the respondent. Our second step is to transfer the data in the questionnaire into the data sheet that can be understand by the computer. So, we transfer it into the excel format. Thirdly, when we get the result from the data sheet, we can calculate the frequency of the results. Lastly, from the results that we get, we translate the result into graph form.
