Analyzing qualitative data entails reading a large amount of transcripts looking for similarities or differences, and subsequently finding themes and developing categories. Traditionally, researchers ‘cut and paste’ and use color pens to categorize data. This paper illustrates the ways in which NVivo can be used in the qualitative data analysis process. The basic features and primary tools of NVivo which assist qualitative researchers in managing and analyzing their data are described. In addition, Basit also conduct research dealing with data analysis with the title “Manual or electronic? The role of coding in qualitative data analysis” 39 Data analysis is the most difficult and most crucial aspect of qualitative research. Coding is one of the significant steps taken during analysis to organize and make sense of textual data. This paper examines the use of manual and electronic methods to code data in two rather different projects in which the data were collected mainly by in-depth interviewing. The author looks at both the methods in the light of her own experience and concludes that the choice will be dependent on the size of 38 Wong, LP.

Moreover, Zamawe conduct the research with the title “The Implication of Using NVivo Software in Qualitative Data Analysis: Evidence-Based Reflections” 40 In this paper, the author reflects on his experience of interacting with one of the popular CAQDAS NVivo in order to provide evidence-based implications of using the software. The main function of CAQDAS is not to analyse data but rather to aid the analysis process, which the researcher must always remain in control of. In other words, researchers must equally know that no software can analyze qualitative data. CAQDAS are basically data management packages, which support the researcher during analysis. In one hand, other come from Beuscher and Grando with the title “Challenges in Conducting Qualitative Research with Persons with Dementia” 41 This researcher shares personal experience of the challenges faced and the lessons learned while conducting a qualitative study of 15 persons with early stage Alzheimer’s disease. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the issues concerning determination of capacity to consent to research, consentassent, communication challenges, and trustworthiness of data when conducting a qualitative study of persons with dementia. Understanding communication challenges due to dementia is important to 40 Zamawe, F C. The Implication of Using NVivo Software in Qualitative Data Analysis: Evidence-Based Reflections.

In this research, the researcher makes a different research. The researchers try to describe students’ difficulties in analyzing the qualitative data, causes and also solutions used by students to overcome the difficulty in analyzing qualitative data. It becomes problem for students of eight semester, on the other hand, they have already got material related to the research in previous semester but they still confuse or even don’t know how to analyze qualitative data. ❣❤ ✐ ❤ ❥ ❤ ❦ . ❧ ❤ ♠♥❦♦ . ♣q . ❤❣ ❣❤ ✐ ❤ ❥ ❤❦ . ❧ ❤ ♠♥❦♦ . ♣q . ❤ ❣ ❣❤ ✐ ❤ ❥ ❤ ❦ . ❧ ❤ ♠♥❦♦ . ♣q . ❤ ❣ ❣❤ ✐ ❤ ❥ ❤ ❦ . ❧ ❤ ♠♥❦♦ . ♣q . ❤ ❣ ❣❤ ✐ ❤ ❥ ❤ ❦ . ❧ ❤♠♥❦♦ . ♣q . ❤❣ ❣❤ ✐ ❤ ❥❤❦ . ❧ ❤♠♥❦♦ . ♣q . ❤❣ r s

CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODS

This chapter discusses about the process of conducting this research. It consists of approach and research design, researcher presence, research location, data and source of data, research instruments, data analysis technique, checking validity of findings and research stages.

A. Approach and Research Design

The analysis of this study uses qualitative method because the data collection in the form of interview as qualitative data. Qualitative approach is a general way of thinking about conducting qualitative research which has three major categories of data, such as in-depth interviews, direct observation and written documents. 1 Therefore, the researcher used interview to gain deep information.

B. Researcher presence

The role of the researcher is as instrument of the research as well as data collector. In collecting the data through interview, the researcher is considered as common partner in order to explore detail about the data needed during interview and subjects of the research confident in sharing their difficulties in analyzing qualitative data, causes of difficulties in analyzing qualitative data and the solutions to overcome difficulties in analyzing qualitative data. 1 Ary, Donald et. al.

C. Research Subject

The subject of this study is the students of eighth semester at English education department in UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya academic year 20112012. The subject of this research was selected by using purposive sampling. The researcher selected the subject who would provide deep information about difficulties in analyzing qualitative data, causes of the difficulties in analyzing qualitative data and the solution of the difficulties in analyzing qualitative data. For that purpose, the researcher decided some characteristics as the consideration in selecting the subject. Those characteristics are: 1 They are in the process of writing research report thesis, 2 They have taken the subject of research method, research statistic and thesis seminar proposal class. 3 They had already conducted proposal examination and already have analyzed the data. The researcher chose the subject of the research based on those criteria above. The researcher conducted the interview to those students about students’ difficulties, causes of those difficulties in analyzing qualitative data and the solution to overcome difficulties in analyzing qualitative data.

G. Data Analysis Technique

Firstly, the researcher transcribed the data of interview. The second steps, the researcher listed the data of each student and also listed the difficulties of the student in analyzing qualitative data, causes and also the solution to overcome difficulties in analyzing qualitative data. Then, the researcher categorized students’ difficulties in analyzing qualitative data, causes and also the solution of those difficulties in analyzing qualitative data. Afterward, the researcher combined the finding with the theory to support the data. The last, the researcher made conclusion of students’ difficulties, causes and solutions of students’ difficulties in analyzing qualitative data and suggestion based on the result of data analyzed.

H. Checking validity of finding

The validity of findings can be checked by using different methods, different sources of data or even different researchers within the study. 2 The researcher invited co researcher and record the interview to attain the validation of finding. Besides that, the researcher confirmed the finding with the subject of the research and the theory used in the research. 2 Denscombe, Martyn.
