3.1. Research Design
This study was conducted by employing a descriptive research with
qualitative method.. According to Miles and Huberman (2014 : 1), Qualitative
data are a source of well-grounded, rich descriptions and explanations of human
processes. With qualitative data, one can preserve chronological flow, see which
events led to which consequences, and derive fruitful explanations. Qualitative
research is conducted through intense and/or prolonged contact with participants
in a naturalistic setting to investigate the everyday and/or exceptional lives of
individuals, groups, societies, and organizations (Miles and Huberman, 2014 : 5).
This research is descriptive research. Descriptive research studies are
designed to obtain information concerning the current status of phenomena. The
aim is to describe ―what exist‖ with respect to variables or conditions in situations
(Ary, 1979:295).The qualitative research involves analysis of data such as words,
pictures, or objects. Its aim is to provide a complete and detailed description of the
