CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The third chapter of this research presents the description of methodology which is meant to answer two research problems formulated in Chapter I. This
chapter consists of research method, research setting, data source, research instruments and data gathering techniques, data analysis techniques, and research
procedures.

a qualitative method. Qualitative research focuses on the phenomenon in natural settings Croker, 2009. Furthermore, this research was descriptive analytical
research. Sivasubramaniyan 2012, pp. 2-3 states that the descriptive research is used to describe the phenomena that are happening at the time. The researcher did
not have the control over the variable, but reported phenomena that have happened or are happening.
Besides, analytical research means that “the researcher has to use facts or information available and analyze these to make a critical evaluation of the
ma terial” Sivasubramaniyan, 2012, p. 3. This research was also an analytical
