2. Reliability
The aim of triangulation was to gather multiple perspectives on the situation being studied Burns, 1999: 163. The reliability of the data was gained
by giving the genuine data, such as field notes and interview transcripts from the observation and interviews techniques. In order to gain a richer and less objective
result, the researcher uses perspectives of different participants; namely students of grade four, English teacher, and the collaborator as observer.
The research used time triangulation and investigator triangulation to check the trustworthiness of the research. Time triangulation was used in this
research because the data of the research were collected over a period of time to identify the factors involved in the change processes. In investigator triangulation,
more than one observer is used in the same research setting Burns, 1999: 163. The researcher consulted with other members to help in the reflection step so that
biased interpretation could be avoided.
