CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents a rationale for the methods of research and analysis. This chapter is divided into several parts. Those are the research method,
the research setting, the research participants, the research instruments, the data gathering techniques, the data analysis techniques, and the research procedures.
3.1 Research Method
This study used a mixed method approach. Based on Creswell 2003, mixed method approach is a combination of qualitative and quantitative data
research or methods in one study to understand a research problem. In 2006, Lodico, Spaulding, and Voegtle concluded, “A mixed method combines the
strengths of both qualitative and quantitative research. Providing an in-depth looks at context, processes, and interactions and precise measurement of attitudes
and outcomes” p. 282. In this study, the researcher used the sequential procedure strategy which aimed to elaborate one method with another method. Since
quantitative data and qualitative data were provided, the result of the study would be presented in a form of percentages and themes.
3.2 Research Setting
This study was conducted in Sanata Dharma University specifically in English Language Education Study Program ELESP. The researcher used two
25 interpreting classes; class A and class F. These classes were taught by the same
lecturer. The first data gathering was conducted on October 20
th
2014. The researcher distributed a set of questionnaire to
the participants’ on the final test day. The second data gathering was conducted in several days. It was conducted
by having some interviews with the lecturer of the interpreting classes and five representatives of the interpreting class
es’ students. The interviews with five students were conducted on May 19

th
2015. This interview was done to get further information about the Ignatian Pedagogy
implementation in the interpreting classes.
3.3 Research Participants
The participants of this study were 42 students and one lecturer. Most of them were students from batch 2011. The number of students from each class was
22 students. In total, there were 44 students. In fact, there were only 42 students who could join this study as the participants. The other two students unfortunately
could not attend the class at that time. From 42 students, the researcher took 5 students to be the interviewees. They were selected randomly as the
representatives of both classes. The researcher also asked the lecturer to be the participant of this study. The researcher interviewed the lecturer in order to get
further information about the implementation of Ignatian Pedagogy.

3.4 Instruments and Data Gathering Techniques
Since this study used a mixed method approach, the researcher used two instruments. These two instruments were used to collect the data to answer the
research problems of the study, i.e., questionnaire and interview. Here, the researcher will give some explanations about both instruments that were used:
3.4.1 Questionnaire
The first instrument was questionnaire. Wilson and McLean 1994 as cited in Ary, Donald, and Sorensen, 2010 define questionnaire as a widely used
and useful instrument for collecting survey information, providing structured, often numerical data, being able to be administered without the presence of the
researcher, and often being comparatively straightforward to analyze p. 377. The aim of giving the questionnaire was to gather some information from the students
about the Ignatian Pedagogy implementation. This questionnaire was meant to answer the second research problem of the study. The questionnaire consisted of
two parts and 22 items of statements. The first part consisted of 20 close-ended statements. In the second part, there were two questions in a form of open-ended
questions.
3.4.2 Interview
The second instrument that was used in this study was the interview. Based on Cohen, Manion and Morrison 2003, there are three purposes of
interview in a study. The first one, it is used as the principal means of gathering information having direct bearing on the research objectives. The second purpose
is to be used to test hypotheses or to suggest a new hypothesis. The last purpose of
