Research Setting Research Participants

31 preparing the data for analysis, reading all the data, coding, representing the data in qualitative narrations, using the coding to generate categories or theme for the analysis, and interpret the data. Those six steps are discussed in the following parts. First, the researcher organized and prepared the data for analysis by transcribing the data and typing notes from the interviews. Second, the researcher read all the data in order to obtain a general sense of the information and to reflect on the overall meaning. In this step, the writer read all of the transcripts. By reading all of the transcripts, the researcher tried to find the meaning of each utterance that related to this study. Then, the researcher marked the data that supported this study. Third, the writer did detailed analysis by coding the data. The coding involved taking the gathered data, segmenting the sentences, and labeling those categories with a term. Fourth, the researcher employed the coding process to generate categories or themes for the analysis. In this research, the theme refers to the identity transformation namely language expert, language facilitator, and spiritual guide, and the factors that contribute to the transformation. Table 3.2 in the next page shows the data coding for identity transformation in this study. 32 Table 3.2 Coding for Identity Transformation Identity Transformation of P1 Imagined Identity: L i n e Utterance Identity Classification Xu, 2013 LE LF SG Context Focusing on content knowledge and teaching pedagogy Focusing on the students’ learning process and becoming a facilitator in the teaching process.

Table 3.3 shows the coding for the factors which contributed to the pre- service teachers’ identity transformation.

Fifth, the researcher represented the themes into a qualitative narration. The qualitative narration discussed the detailed description of several themes. Thus, in this study, the researcher presented some examples of theme in the form of 33 quotation then discussed it through the qualitative narration. The qualitative narration was used to convey the findings of the analysis. Finally, the sixth process was interpreting the data and compared findings with information obtained from the theories. Shortly, the data analysis technique is illustrated in the Figure 3.1. F igure 3.1 Creswell’s Data Analysis Employed in this Study While analyzing the data, the researcher also validated the data by using internal member and external reviewers checking strategy. The member checking strategy is to determine the accuracy of the qualitative findings through taking the final report or specific description or themes back to the participants Creswell, 2009. Further, Creswell also adds that the researcher is able to determine whether the participants felt that they were accurate or not.
