1.5 Research Method
There are four points in the research method including: the data source, method and technique of collecting data, method, technique of analyzing data, and
method and technique of presenting data. They are very influential determining a success of the study as well as very important for the validity of the writing this
undergraduated thesis. Furthermore, the last point is used to manage how this study is presented.
1.5.1 Data Source
The data from this study was taken from respondents which is called primary data. The primary data is the data which is taken from involved people
through field research. In this study, the data was recorded from the conversations of silver shop attendants with foreigners in Ubud where the observation was
conducted. Ubud is one of the tourist destinations in Bali in which difference of
education level among silver shop attendants was found. Most of them can be classified as old-aged over 40 and young-aged under 40 silver shop attendants.
In this study, there were 6 old-aged attendants and 2 young-aged attendants as informants. Young-aged silver shop attendants, in this case, are the silver shop
attendants who have a better education in English, therefore, they can speak English in better condition than old-aged silver shop attendants who have a lack of
education. However, despite of that, the old-aged silver shop attendants are still able to interact with foreigners as well as offering their handicraft to them.
Therefore, this phenomenon was chosen due to its uniqueness. All these data are important to gather the clearest proofs for the case of this undergraduate thesis.
1.5.2 Method and Technique of Collecting Data
The method for collecting the data which is used in this study is qualitative method. Qualitative method is the method done by field research. As it was
investigated, there were more than 40 silver shop attendants in Ubud. In this study, there were only 8 silver shop attendants which were being respodents
because they are a homogenous population. They are homogenous because they are all the same silver art shop attendants, therefore, the respondents were chosen
randomly. The data was collected by recording technique, either some simulations with the silver shop attendants or the bargaining conversations between the
involved silver shop attendants and foreigners in Ubud were recorded.
