CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY
A. Types of Research
This research is a descriptive qualitative research. According to Johnny Saldana’s book entitled
Fundamentals of Qualitative Research
2011: 1, Quantitative research is “an umbrella term for a wide variety of approaches to and
methods for the study of natura l social life.”
Meanwhile, Kristina, et. al. 2010: 7 states that “Descriptive research has
the purpose to describe the individual characteristic, situation or a certain group. This research can also be used to predict the society’s attitude, opinion,
pe rspective, perception or certain behaviour.”
A key reason for doing qualitative research is to investigate and become more experienced with a particular phenomenon of the researchers interest in
order to deliver a detailed description. And the two most common types of descriptive research tools are surveys and observation. During the survey and
observation, the writer also conducted some interviews to some people subject to the case.
B. Techniques of Collecting Data
1. Interview
According to Joseph A.Devito 2003: 226 interview is a “particular form of
communication in which you interact largely through a question and answer format to achieve a variety of specific goals.

The Interview involved three informants responsible upon the assistance from the P3L program in their areas. The interview was done by asking some
questions regarding the lack of quality of socialization of the program. 2.
Observation Observation was done as an activity to collect data by observing directly the
object observed. This observation was done in four places or areas of which people accept the assistance from the program.
3. Literature Study
Literature study was conducted by searching the written sources relevant to the discussion of the problem. The library study, also often called literature
review, comes to find the relevant theories upon the case from the experts. The theories then become the basis for the data analysis.
