Research Design Data Collecting Procedure

CHAPTER III METHOD OF RESEARCH

3.1. Research Design

According to George in the book entitled The Elements Library Research: What Every Students Needs to Know2008:6, there are some kinds of methodology researches, namely Library, Experimental, Explicatory, Field, Observational, Interview, Survey, Longitudinal, Archival, Qualitative, Quantitative, Empirical, and Theoretical. In completing this thesis, I am performing the descriptive qualitative method. The method is applied by describing the data and analyzing them. Johannsen and Kajberd in their book entitled New Frontiers in Public Library Research 2005:11 states, “In Qualitative research, the generalizability of research result does not depend on the sample and data gathering procedures but on the method of analysis and the formulation research questions”. In addition, George 2008:7 also states, “Qualitative research designates any research whole result are capture in words, image, or nonnumeric symbol, for instance research on dreams”. Different from Quantitative research that serve data into tables, numbers, or diagram, Qualitative research does not need to use tables or numbers. I choose Qualitative research because data which will be analyzed in words and does not need tables or numbers to present the data. There are two kinds of data, namely Primary data and Secondary data. Primary data is a data directly taken by the researcher through interview or filling out the questionnaires. Secondary data is a data indirectly taken by the researcher. The data is taken by some written sources, such as books, articles from internet to support this analysis. In this thesis, I will only use Secondary data. There are some stages of procedures. First is to collect the data. I have to collect Bob Marley’s song that related to the Rastaman’s concept of the rights equality and freedom. Second, all data are described, and the last I will further analyze it and draw the conclusion of the thesis.

3.2. Data Collecting Procedure

For the first step of procedures is collecting the data. The subject matter of this thesis is about the Rastaman’s concepts of rights equality and freedom reflected in Bob Marley’s selected songs, so I have to hear and read Bob Marley’s lyrics songs and several books related to the subject matter of this thesis. The data such as song lyrics and books which are collected should contain vast information about analysis. The books which are used in this thesis collected from several sources such as library and book store. And for the song lyrics, I accessed some sites or internet to collect the data. All the data will be selecting in next step.
