Erasing unimportant words which had no relation to the topic and overlapping statements.
3. Putting the data collection in a bracelet and then designing textual description
based on participant s’ experiences which are in the data.
4. Next, deciding the findings which were answered the research question.
5. The last, the researcher concluded the findings
After achieving the finding, the researcher analyzed the reflection in the Internship Program Course final report from the participants. The reflections were
27 analyzed and the researcher searched the experiences which were appeared in the
interview. Since the reflections were just to emphasize the findings in the interview.
In this research, the researcher was the research instrument. All of the data was analyzed by the researcher with the related theories. The researcher also
consulted the data, the findings, and analysis with the thesis advisor. Lastly, the results of the research were tested in the oral defense.
G. Data Triangulation
Data triangulation is the use of multiple sources of data, multiple observers, andor multiple methods. The data triangulation was used to confirm
the findings Ary at al., 2010. The researcher used more than one data gathering in order to toughen the findings. Therefore, in this research, the researcher used
two data gathering instruments. The main data gathering instrument was interview from the participants. In order to strengthen the findings, the researcher analyzed a
participant reflection of the Internship Program Course. Besides using two data gatherings, the researcher used related theories, consulted to the expert thesis
advisor, and also the results of this research would be tested in thesis defense.
H. Research Procedures
