researcher can get stronger evidence for the conclusion of findings and get more complete understanding of a certain phenomenon. It happens because the
researcher interviews the participants to obtain qualitative data which gives more information Ary, et al., 2010.
The second reason was because mixed method helped the researcher to clarify findings. According to Ary, et al. 2010, mixed method can be used by the
researcher to find clarification of findings from one method by using results from another method. It is needed to clarify the findings from different methods
because the participants might give different explanation from what they choose in the questionnaire.
The third reason was because the researcher used quantitative data obtained by distributing questionnaire to select the interviewees and analyze the
data qualitatively. When employing mixed method, the researcher uses the results from one approach to develop results or inform another approach Ary, et al.,
2010. Informing another approach means that quantitative results obtained in the first phase are used to select participants to be interviewed in the second
qualitative phase. The type of mixed method design used by the researcher was sequential
design. Sequential design is a design in which the analysis of data obtained and examined in the first phase of research will influence choices made in the next
phase Ary, et al., 2010. The reason why the researcher used sequential design was because data collection and analysis in this research occurred in two phases at
different time. According to Ary, et al. 2010, in sequential design, different PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

forms of data are collected and examined in different phases and at different time in a study. In this research, the first phase was collecting and analyzing the data by
using quantitative survey while the second phase was collecting and analyzing the data qualitatively by interviewing the participants. The quantitative data collection
and analysis occurred first followed by qualitative data collection and analysis.
