E. Data Triangulation

In this research, the researcher used more than one data collection. It means triangulation is used. According to Creswell 2015, triangulation is the process of proofing evidence from different individuals e.g., a principal and a student, types of data e.g., observational field notes and interviews, or methods of data collection e.g., documents and interviews in descriptions and themes in qualitative research. Moreover, according to Gall, Gall, and Borg 2007, the use of multiple methods to collect data can enhance the validity of findings through a process called triangulation. Data triangulation is used to make the findings accurate.
