Nature and Sources of the Texts
45 gather the material in the particular scope. The determination theme drives the
research to focus more on the essence, as it is also natural. Furthermore, in the construction process, the researcher paid attention to every part which has strong
and significant points in developing the description. In collecting anecdotes, one has to recognize what parts of the
text of daily living are significant for one’s study. While it is happening, it is important to try to recover those living phrases
and incidents that give the anecdote a cogent power or point. Therefore, it may be necessary to go back to retrieve the relevant
“trivia” that help to construct the anecdote. In gathering anecdotes, one needs to be quite rigorous and construct accounts
that are trimmed of all extraneous, possibly interesting but irrelevant aspects of theories. Van Mannen, 1990. p. 69.
Meanwhile, Moustakas states that text analysis can be done through describing the personal experiences with a phenomenon, making a list of significant elements,
and then grouping them into larger units called meaning units, makin g “meaning
units”, determining “what” and “how”, and then incorporating textual and structure description Moustakas, 1994, as in Cresswell, 2007. In analyzing the
data, the significant elements that illustrate the understanding about how the participant experienced the phenomenon need to be highlighted, which is called
horizonalization Moustakas, 1994. The cluster of meaning can be developed from the statements. From these descriptions, a composite description which
provides the essential aspect the essence of a phenomenon can be developed. Then the text can be reduced into meaningful segments and given names for the
segments coding the data. In analyzing the text, the researcher used the steps adopted from Cresswell
2012, p. 261-262 which are also in line with Van Mannen and Moustakas. Those steps are:

After conducting the in-depth interviews, transcribed the data, and doing document checks, the researcher analyzed the data and conducted re-interview to
gather the missing information. After transcribing the overall data and re-read the transcript, the reseacher selected the text and made classification using table to
construct and coded the text step 1. Coding was used to build the themes step 2. Each theme has its own coding. In coding some numbers were given in order
to enable the readers to search the anecdotes easily in the interview transcript. themes
