31 interviews give the researchers a chance to get deep and refine information by
which they can develop their argumentation upon rich resources. Before conducting the interview, the researcher wrote down several
questions to be used in interviewing the participants. Therefore, the interview which was used by the researcher was a semi-structured interview, in which the
researcher prepared some questions to be asked to the participants. Meanwhile, there would be several questions which were made spontaneously, in the middle
of the interview. The researcher used semi-structured interview to gain various answer from the participants. Merriam 2009 stated that
“semi-structured interview was guided by a list of questions or issues to be explored, so that this
format allowed the researcher to respond to the situation at hand, to the several point of views of the respondent, and to new ideas on the topic
” p. 90. Furthermore, the use of semi structured interview was useful for obtaining
information to test a specific hypothesis that the researcher had in mind Frankel, Wallen, Hyn, 2015, p. 449.
F. Data Analysis Techniques
Ary, Jacobs, and Sorensen 2002 state that the analysis of qualitative data includes the process of organizing and summarizing, interpreting, and
reporting. The first process is analyzing. The first step in analyzing the data was organizing the data. In this step, the researcher made the interview transcripts. The
process of organizing the data was started by reducing the data, based on Ary, Jacobs, and Razavie
h’s 2000 theory, namely the coding process. The interview
32 transcripts were categorized based on the theories in the review of literature,
without making additional information to represent some categories of those theories. Below is the example of the interview transcript.

Second, summarizing begins with making some statements about relationships and themes in the data Ary, Jacobs, Razavieh 2002. Second, the
researcher interpreted the data. According to Ary et al. 2002, interpreting is an inductive process where the researcher generalized the data based on the
connections and common aspects among the categories and patterns. According to Ary et al. 2002, in qualitative research, there are no statistical tests of
significance to facilitate interpretation of qualitative data. Besides, interpreting is a process that proceeds without set of rules, but it is supported by the data. Third,
the researcher reported the results.

G. Research Procedure
This part shows the procedure of conducting the research from the
beginning until the report of the data. The procedure will explained on each point:
1. The researcher found four possible participants to be interviewed. 2. The researcher asked teachers’ permission to be the participants of this
research. 3. The researcher interviewed the participants about their perception on
Curriculum 2013 implementation deeply. 4. The respondents agreed with what the researcher had written.
5. After the researcher had all the data needed, the researcher started analyzing the data.
6. The researcher consulted the data with the thesis advisor.
