E. Data Analysis Technique

The researcher is one of ELESP students’ Batch 2012 who has taken Service Program Design SPD. However, the research would not be bias since the researcher put himself as a neutral party. It also had a justification on how the analysis would be drawn from qualitative inquiry method. Qualitative inquiry method remains transparent and methodical study. In this research, it uses phenomenological study. Ary et al 2010 state phenomenological studies begin with the assumption that multiple realities are rooted in subjects’ perspectives. Thus, an experience has different meanings for each person. Through unstructured interviews, the investigator explores the subject’s thoughts and feelings to elicit the essence of an individual’s experience. In qualitative research, there are three techniques which are used to analyze the data based on Ary et al 2010. They are organizing and familiarizing the data, coding and reducing, and interpreting and representing. The data were gathered using interview and questionnaire, therefore there was a transcript. According to Ary et al 2010, the interview results should be transcribed in order to avoid bias.

F. Triangulation

The researcher used triangulation as one of the methods in this research. The researcher considered that a single method could not adequately shed light on a phenomenon. Using multiple methods could help to facilitate deeper understanding. According to Yeasmin 2012, triangulation is a process of 28 verification that increases validity by incorporating several viewpoints and methods. Therefore, based on this point of view, the researcher used triangulation as the method for verifying the data. Due to the researcher used triangulation method, the researcher interpreted the data as the diagram below: Fig. 3.1 Diagram of triangulation method

G. Research Procedures

This part shows the procedures of conducting the research from the beginning until the report of the data. The procedures will be listed as follows: 1 The researcher asked the advisor whether the topic was accepted. 2 The researcher chose the method for the study. 3 The researcher chose the interview and the questionnaire as the instruments to collect the data. 4 The researcher made some questions for the interview and then the researcher consulted the questions to the advisor. 5 The researcher chose some ELESP students’ Batch 2012, who had joined SPD, to be interviewed. Those interviewees were chosen purposely since each student experienced the same process of learning in SPD. Theory The Researcher The ELESP Students
