E. Trustworthiness
The trustworthiness was gained by triangulation. In this study, the researcher uses a triangulation technique to test the validity of the data. Burns in
Setiyadi 2006 states that triangulation is one of the most commonly used and best known ways of checking for validity. The trustworthiness of the data is
based on a triangulation that is always checking the result of the research with the respondents along the in- depth interviews. The researcher checks the result
of observations by conducting interviews to the subject of the research and to gain more information from the participant. Besides, validity is achieved by
discussing and analyzing the data with knowledgeable and competent people in criticizing the process of the data analysis such as collaborator and supervisor.

This is new curriculum, curriculum 2013, I think that it is the developing of KBK curriculum. The last curriculum is KTSP,
isn’t it? But this curriculum gives more practices, more assignments, in KTSP, we learn theoretically. In Curriculum
2103, students must be able to find, and create their own ideas.
