32 In a phenomenological research, a researcher should do the Epoche
process. Epoche is given by Husserl 1970 to name freedom from suppositions. Epoche itself came from Greek word meaning to stay away from abstain. In this
research, the Epoche process was done in the interview. In the interview, all participants were able to share anything without any command or request from the
researcher. The researcher was only able to give questions that would stimulate the participants to share more. Schmitt 1968 states that in the Epoche,
prejudgements, biases, and preconceived ideas about things should be ignored. So, the researcher was not allowed to lead the research participants in answering the
questions. The interview was recorded to be transcripted. The transcripted interview
then being analyzed using Moustakas’ Modification of the Van Kaam Method of
