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.

which contributed to the pre- service teachers’ identity transformation. 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. The researcher conducted follow-
