c. Continuous adjustment, get more information can expand a hypothesis based on
the focus of research. d.
Selection to the point of redundancy, selecting the last sample if there is no more information can be found.
The writer chooses some people that are considered will give the data that the writer need. After that, from those samples, the writer will choose more people to be the
samples to give more complete data. But, in purposive sampling, samples are taken by information consideration. Further, Bouma Gary D. 1993 : 119 in his book “The
Research Process” revision edition say “Purposive sampling. Some researchers believe that they can, using judgement or intuition, select the best people or groups to be
studied. The typical rural school is selected and studied, and the results generalized to rural school”.
From the quotation above, the writer has to find out the typical and the best Front Office staffs who can give the complete data. William, at. Al 1982 : 107 says
“Respondents who are hard to locate and crucial to the study”. They are wished can give the unique experience and the knowledge or the data about code switching and code
mixing that is needed by the writer.
3.2 Location and Time of Observation
The Observation is located in lobby area or front desk agent counter, Telephone operator and reservation agent office and back office of Grand Elite Hotel Medan, Jalan
Jend. Gatot subroto no. 395 Medan while the staffs are in their work activities.
Universitas Sumatera Utara
The observation is taken on March 2013 - June 2013 between 3 pm to 11 pm afternoon shift and 11 pm to 7 am night shift according to the writer’s shift schedule
and take the best conversation that can be good sample by recording.
3.3 Data Collecting Method
The data that found by using field research is actually as the result from the interaction between the researcher and the subject of the research, it’s as the individual
or even from the social situation. So, the data that is descript by the researcher is the result from the mind reconstruction of the researcher about the things that the writer
research. Such the quotation as follows: “Data are, so to speak, the constructions offered by or in the sources;
data analysis leads to a reconstruction of those constructions” Lincoln and Guba, 1985.
The researcher as the key human instrument has the functions to decide the focus of research, choosing the samples, collecting the data, analyzing the data, and making a
conclusion of the research’s result. Huberman and Miles 1992 has a concept to collect the data of a research: Data collection, data reduction, data display, conclusion drawing
and verifying. To make the writer easier in collecting the data, he uses another instrument which is a recorder to record the dialogue of the samples in their daily work
activities. Hamidi 2008:97 in his book “Metode Penelitian Kualitatif” has some steps to
analyze the data:
Universitas Sumatera Utara
a. Membuat catatan lapangan. Maksud langkah ini adalah peneliti mencatat,
merekam, atau memotret apa yang di dengar dan di lihat di lapangan, sebagai hasil wawancara mendalam, pengamatan dan atau membaca dokumen.
b. Membuat catatan penelitian. Dalam langkah ini peneliti menulis kembali semua
yang di peroleh dari langkah pertama, sehingga menjadi catatan yang lebih rapi, mudah di pahami, enak di baca tetapi hanya berisi yang terkait dengan
yang di perlukan.
c. Mengelompokkan data sejenis. Peneliti sudah bisa memulai untuk memilih atau
mengelompokkan data sejenis atau subtema atau tema dari kumpulan data tersebut.
d. melakukan interpretasi dan penguatan. Maksudnya adalah peneliti “meraba-
raba” memberi arti terhadap deskripsi para responden kelompok data dalam menjawab permasalahan penelitian.
