CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
In this chapter, the researcher discusses the methodology which is used in this research. This chapter consists of five parts. Those parts are research method,
research setting, research participants, instruments and data gathering technique, and data analysis technique.
A. Research Method
There are three research questions in this research. To answer those questions, the researcher uses sequential mixed methods. In sequential mixed
methods, the researcher analyzes the data step by step following the sequence and uses the prior analysis to develop the next step Ary, Jacobs, and Soransen, 2010.
In this research, the steps were from observation and questionnaire to interview. The observation was used to verify the misbehavior data from the questionnaire and
also the interview. The verified data was then used to develop the questions in the interview. This was done to ensure the triangulation of the data. Triangulation itself
means that the data is crosschecked through different means Ary et al., 2010.
