After inputting the codes and getting the average scores, I grouped the responses under each theme social, academic, and fairness aspects, and also conditions for
successful group work. In each theme, a table and a chart presenting the average scores of the items was displayed to show the readers in general about the results of the study. In
addition, a figure of the frequency distribution of the items was also presented to really understand the percentage sharing of each response. By referring to the figures, it was
easier for me to figure out which statements were more positively or negatively perceived by the respondents. Then, I also discussed the data of each theme in relation to my
interpretations and previous studies.
