CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOD
3.1 Research Method
The method used in this research is descriptive exploratory method, where the approach taken towards the object under study is a qualitative approach. This
research uses descriptive method, because the data to be collected are not numbers, but rather the results of interviews, field notes and documents. This is
done because the phenomena will be discussed in a complex and holistic. Therefore, this research uses test and interviews to match the empirical reality of
the prevailing theories using descriptive methods. Descriptive research is research that seeks to describe a symptom, event, incident that occur in the
present. Sujana and Ibrahim, 1989:65 This research was conducted to obtain in-depth information about the
learning obstacles experienced by students, the results of the analysis of learning obstacles will be used as a guideline in designing instructional materials that
according to the three components of didactical design research DDR.
