28 service teachers who belonged to Micro Teaching class C and have finished doing
their teaching practice in the odd semester of 20162017 Academic Year. The participants were chosen because they also became the participants in the previous
research conducted by Iswandari 2016, which investigated their imagined identity through reflective journal. In other words, the research participants have already
constructed their identity. The previous research was conducted after the participant finished doing their Micro Teaching course. By considering this reason, the
researcher selected five pre-service teachers to find out their identity transformation after teaching practice program. In addition, the researcher coded each participant
with P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5. Table 3.1 provides the participants
’ data.

Then, the researcher interviewed the five participants in order to get sufficient information “to provide maximum insight and understanding” Ary, Jacobs,
Sorensen, Razavieh, 2010, p. 156 about identity transformation which they experience and factors contributed to the transformation after finishing teaching
practice program.

D. Instruments and Data Gathering Technique
In order to collect the data, the researcher employed two instruments. The instruments used in this research were a human instrument and an interview
guideline.
1. Human Instrument
According to Ary, Jacobs, Sorensen and Razavieh 2010, qualitative study needs the researcher to take a role in the research as the primary instrument for
collecting and analyzing data. In this case, human instrument can talk with the participants in the setting, observes participant’s activities, and record the
information in the field notes and journals. Hence, in this research, the researcher acted as the human instrument who interviewed the ELESP pre-service teachers to
collect data. The researcher examined the information gathered from five ELESP pre-
service teachers’ interview, then analyzed the data into type of identity and factors which contributed to the transformation.
2. Interview Guideline
Ary et al. 2010 state that an interview is an instrument to gather the data from people about their opinion, belief, and feeling about situation in their own
words. Specifically, this study employed personal interview. The researcher, as the human instrument, interviewed the research participants in face to face setting and
recorded the answer. In accordance to this, personal contact in the personal interview increases the likelihood that individual will participate and provide the
desire information Ary et al., 2010.
30 This study employed an interview guideline to identify identity
transformation among pre-service teachers and the factors which contribute to the transformation after finishing teaching practice program. Furthermore, the
researcher employed in-depth and conversational type of the personal interview in which there might arise another questions based on the situation Ary et al., 2010.
The researcher asked questions related to the topic as the opportunity arose and then listened carefully and used subject responses to decide the following questions.
Spesifically, the researcher divided two catagories of questions, which were to identify identity transformation and factors that contribute to the transformation as
described in the Blueprint Interview Questions see Appendix A. Furthermore, the researcher applied this method in order to get richer
information about identity transformation. Moreover, interview also allowed the researcher to do immediate follow-
up and clarification of participants’ responses in order to clarify the information given by the participants Ary et al., 2010.
The data in this research were gathered by conducting interview to the five chosen pre-service teachers from December 2016 until January 2017. The interview
was conducted in order to collect the pre- service teachers’ utterances which
described their identity transformation. Furthermore, the interview aimed to know the factors which contributed to their identity transformation.
E. Data Analysis Technique
In this study, the researcher employed Creswell’s 2009 qualitative data analysis, which consists of six steps in analyzing the data. They are organizing and
