25 the statements were in line with the results of video observation, it meant that the beliefs were manifested in their teaching during the Teaching Practicum.

E. Data Analysis Technique

In analyzing the research data, the researcher employed the analytic phases in qualitative research by Yin 2011. The researcher did five steps to analyze the data, namely compiling, disassembling, reassembling and arraying, interpreting, and concluding.

1. Compiling

The first phase of qualitative data analysis process was compiling. In this step, the researcher sorted the data collection. This phase would be started by sorting the field notes amassed from the fieldwork and other data collection Yin, 2011, p. 178. In this study, the researcher’s notes were the observation notes that had been taken during the video observation. The other data were the participants’ interview recordings. According to Yin 2011, the important function of this phase is to make the researchers familiar with the data that have been obtained from the data gathering process p. 183. The researcher had to read the data and listen to the recordings for many times in order to have good understanding of the data. In this phase, the researcher listened to the recordings many times, after that making the verbatim transcript of the interview recordings. The researcher should consider 26 how the data can relate to the research questions. All of the data from this phase were called the database.

2. Disassembling

After conducting the first phase, the researcher did the next phase, namely disassembling. The researcher divided the compiled data into smaller fragments or pieces, which might be considered as a disassembling procedure Yin, 2011, p. 178. In this phase, the researcher should give new codes or labels to the fragments or pieces. However, Yin 2011 mentions that there is no fixed procedure in disassembling procedure p. 186. Therefore, the researcher could choose whether he she wanted to use coding or no coding. In this study, the researcher did not use coding in disassembling data. Hence, the researcher analyzed the original data and created the researcher’s own notes. This process would help the researcher to go to the next phase because the researcher would use the notes to be changed into substantive themes.

3. Reassembling

In this phase, the researcher “used the substantive themes to reorganize the disassembled fragments or pieces into different groupings and sequences than might have been in the original notes” Yin, 2011, p. 179. This phase was called reassembling because it rearranged and recombined the fragments or pieces into one particular theme.
