had been presented, the researcher then directly discussed the results in the descriptive form.
In analysing the FGD data, the researcher employed the combination of data analysis techniques from Creswell 2013. There are some steps taken from
Creswell’s data analysis techniques. The combined steps are familiarizing, identifying, and interpreting.
