2 Interview

The researcher did the interview after the participants return the questionnaire. The duration time of the interview was seven until thirty-three minutes. There were some steps in analyzing the data. The steps were as follows: a. Transcribing the participants‟ stories from the recording. b. Translating the stories into English. c. Taking the meaningful points from the stories. d. Deciding the points that would become the findings. e. Combining all the similar findings. f. Summarizing the findings into narrative paragraphs.

F. Research Procedure

The researcher used four steps in conducting and analyzing the research. It was very important for the researcher to go step by step to make the study become clear. Those steps were:

1. Planning

The first step at the beginning was choosing the topic with appropriate problem related to character building in SPD class. Then, the researcher built problem formulation based on the problem that found. The researcher consulted the problem formulation to the advisor. The researcher also gathered further information from the website and read the literatures from the books, papers, and related thesis. 24

2. Choosing the Method

There were a lot of methods in research when the researcher searched the research methodology. The appropriate method for this study was mixed method. The researcher mixed quantitative and qualitative to get the best data. The research instruments were questionnaire and interview. The researcher tried to answer the problem formulation by using the theories from the experts.

3. Choosing the Participants

In order to get the data, the researcher chose ELESP students who passed the Service Program Design SPD class. The researcher chose the ELESP students‟ batch 2011 until 2012 to get the richer information related to the character building in SPD class.

4. Pilot studies

The researcher used pilot study to make the possibilities of the research. Pilot study also helped the researcher to build the well-ordered of the questionnaire by taking the effective questions and omitting the unimportant questions. According to Van and Hundley 2002, pilot study is the main version of a full-scale study. It is the specific pre-testing of the particular research instrument such as questionnaire or interview. Pilot study is an important element of a good study design. Pilot study does not guarantee the success of the main study, but it increases likelihood of success. 25

5. Re-arrange the questionnaire

The researcher re-arranged the questionnaire after conducting the pilot questionnaire. There were some questions of the questionnaire that should be omitted. It was because the questions did not support the researcher to get the richer information.
