CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY OF RESEARCH
3.1 Research Design
Descriptive qualitative method will be used in this study. Natzir :1988 describes that descriptive method is a method of a research that makes the description
of the situation of the events or occurence, so that the method has an intention to accumulate the basic data.
Descriptive design is meant as the procedure of solving the problems by describing the conditions of the object in the present based on the facts and reality. Hadary and
Mimi 1994 : 73 . Best 1982 says that qualitative studies are those in which the description of
observations is not ordinarily expressed in quantitative terms. It is not suggested that numerical measures are never used, but other means of description are emphasized.
Qualitative research does not use sample and population as in quantitative research. Hadary and Mimi 1994 : 73 .
