Research Method RESEARCH METODHOLOGY

uses open-ended question technique. Open-ended question technique is an interview where the answer is not directly pointing to certain answers, but the interviewee gives explanation to the answer. Commonly, using this technique will get more detailed result. In conducting the interview, the researcher made an appointment with the chosen respondents. The interview highlighted on how the students obtain their experience during the group dynamic in Play Performance. The questions of the interview can be seen on the appendix A. In conducting the interview, the researcher used tape recorder smartphone for recording the interview process. It was used to avoid missed information and get the more accurate data.

E. Technique of Data Analysis

In conducting the research, the researcher puts himself as neutral party, so the data analysis would not incline to one side. As mentioned previously, this research is explanatory sequential design, where on the first step, the researcher uses quantitative approach to analyze the data, then on the second stage, the researcher uses qualitative approach. In analyzing the data, the researcher calculated the collaborative learning elements in general and make them into percentages. After that, the researcher went deeper by calculating each element based on the statements of the questionnaire. In processing the data, the researcher used the formula below. X N x 100 X = the students who choose certain answer N = total sample Then, the researcher used the results of the interview to support the result of the quantitative data. First, the researcher transcribed the results of the interview, then the researcher sorted them to be supporting sentences.

F. Triangulation

In conducting the research, the researchers used triangulation to increase the validation. This is in line with the definition of triangulation provided by Yeasmin and Rahman 2012 that triangulation is a process of verification that increases validity by incorporating several viewpoints and methods. By using triangulation in collecting different types of data, the researcher would be able to look at the same phenomenon from various perspectives. Figure 3.1 Triangulation
