B. Research Method

in which the research relies on the views of participants; ask board, general questions; collect data consisting largerly of words or text from participants;
describes and analysis these words for themes; and conducts the inquiry in subjective, biased manner”. The purpose of this study is to investigate the
phenomena of using power in language by teachers’ in classroom. Denzin and Lincoln 2005 in Ary, Jacobs, Sorensen, and Razavieh 2006, 466 states that a
variety of approaches in qualitative research includes case study, ethnography, critical ethnography, performance ethnography, grounded theory, testimoni, life
history, narrative inquiry, participatory action research, clinical research, interpretive study, arts-based inquiry, autoethnography, and phenomenology.
In this study, researcher applied etnographic approach. Etnographic research is one of the qualitative research design which is useful to investigate the
behaviour patterns of teachers and students at school and in the school community. Latief 2012: 131 says that etnography refers to study of human
cultures. In education, etnographic research is used to describe teachers’ and students’ behaviour; their needs, their interactions, their language use, etc. In
addition, spradley in Latief 2012: 133 says that etnographic research is used to
commit to user
describe educational system, process, and phenomena, to understand teachers’ and students’ needs, experiences, viewpoints, and goals which is useful as the basis of
designing appropriate educational programs to ultimately improve the quality of students learning. Moreover, etnographic research is one of the qualitative
research design involving verbal data, collected using human instrument, presented in a narrative story, and analyzed inductively using verbal analysis and
interpretation to discover salient patterns and theme.
