CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY

This chapter deals with methodology used by the researcher to obtain the data needed to anwer the research problems. This chapter is divided into six parts. There are research method, research participants, research instruments, data gathering techniques, data analysis techniques, and research procedures. The methodology research is done to answer the two research questions in this study.

A. Research Method

In this study, the researcher combined both types of quantitative and qualitative research as the approach to answer two research questions. Best and Kahn 2006, p. 271 stated that, one research that often uses both types of research methodologies qualitative and quantitative is survey research. Further, it is also explained that a survey could contain questions that provide quantitative response and also ask questions that result in qualitative data. It is also supported by Creswell 2015, p. 19, who stated that both quantitative and qualitative data might employ similar approaches, such as interview or questionnaire.
