CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter presents a rationale for the methods of research and analysis. This chapter is divided into several parts. Those are the research method, the research setting, the research participants, the research instruments, the data gathering techniques, the data analysis techniques, and the research procedures.

3.1 Research Method

This study used a mixed method approach. Based on Creswell 2003, mixed method approach is a combination of qualitative and quantitative data research or methods in one study to understand a research problem.
