METHODOLOGY
3. 1 Research Method
Nawawi (1994:1) says that, “Penelitian merupakan pekerjaan ilmiah yang
harus dilakukan secara sistematis, teratur dan tertib, baik mengenai prosedurnya

maupun dalam proses berpikir tentang materinya.” (Research is a scientific work
which should be done sistematically, regularly and orderly, either its procedure or in
thinking process about its material).
As a research is a systematic work, so it must be done by following a method
as Nawawi said (1994:1), “Penelitian yang harus dilaksanakan secara sistematis,
teratur dan tertib, berarti prosesnya harus mengikuti prosedur/metode dan teknik

yang paling sesuai dengan masalahnya.” (A research that must be done
sistematically,

regularly

and

orderly,


means

its

process,

must

follow

procedure/method and technic which is suitable with the problems).
In analyzing this thesis, the writer applied descriptive qualitative method.
According to Nawawi (1994:174), “Penelitian kualitatif adalah penelitian yang
bersifat atau memiliki karakteristik, bahwa datanya dinyatakan dalam keadaan
sewajarnya atau sebagaimana adanya (natural setting), dengan tidak dirubah dalam
bentuk simbol-simbol atau bilangan”. (Qualitative method is a research which has

charateristic, the data is stated deservedly or with natural setting, without changing
into symbols or numbers).

Further, Nawawi (1994:73) says that, “Metode deskriptif dapat diartikan
sebagai
