x = The number of the students based on the degree agreement n = The number of all participants
Then, the researcher used content analysis to analyse the results of the interviews, students’ self-reflection sheets, and documents. According to Ary,
Jacobs, and Sorensen 2010, the focus of content analysis is on analyzing and interpreting recorded materials to have deeper understanding about human
behaviour. The recorded materials can be in the form of public records, textbooks, letters, films, tapes, diaries, themes, reports, and other documents.
As the researcher explained before, this research used some interviews, self- reflection sheets, and documents. In analyzing the results of those three instruments,
the researcher focused on the content of the results. Since the results of the interview were in the form of voice records, the researcher made a transcript of each
voice record. For the transcript of the lecturer’s interview, the researcher made a table to ease the researcher in analyzing the lecturers’ answers. Then, the researcher
made a table for the students’ interview results. This helped the researcher to see and compare the answers of the students. In analyzing the content of the interviews,
self-reflection sheets, and documents, the researcher focused on the main idea of each answer. The main ideas which were obtained were based on the questionnaire
and related to theories used by the researcher. It is supported by Wahyuni 2012 that “a summative content analysis involves counting and comparisons, usually of
keywords or content, followed by the interpretatio n of the underlying context.”

F. Research Procedure
In this part, the researcher presents the research procedure of conducting the research. The procedure is presented as follows:

Asking for permission to the lecturer of Interpreting class B to conduct research in her class
Arranging the questionnaire Consulting the questionnaire to the advisor
Doing the first data gathering using a questionnaire at the end of the class in the last meeting of Interpreting class B
Explaining the topic of the research Distributing the questionnaire to the twenty five students in the class
Collecting all sheets of the questionnaire Analysing the results of the questionnaire
Conducting questions of the interview for lecturer and students Consulting the questions to the advisor
Contacting the lecturer to have an interview with her Doing an interview with the lecturer
Confirming the lecturer’s statements orally Consulting six chosen students as the participants of the interview to the lecturer
Contacting all chosen participants Confirming their willingness as participants
30 Doing some interviews in three different days

Confirming the participants’ statements Analysing the data
G. Triangulation of Data Analysis
This research was a mixed-method research. It relied on quantitative and qualitative data instruments in gathering the data. In this case, the researcher was
the member of Interpreting class B which was studied by the researcher. Therefore, the data triangulation was achieved by following this procedure.
First, the researcher investigated deep understanding of the theoretical framework of this research. The theoretical framework was conducted by using
some theories related to this research. Second, empirical data were obtained through the questionnaire, interview, self-reflection, and document analysis. From the
questionnaire, the researcher depicted the general phenomenon in the class. Third, the results were confirmed to the lecturer to meet further information. It was also
confirmed to the students. Then, the researcher could see deeper ideas and information from two sides; the lecturer and the students. Moreover, the results of
the interview with the student were supported by self-reflection and documents. Last, the researcher conducted data analysis independently based on the theoretical
31
framework and findings which were obtained. It was presented to the thesis advisor to obtain constructive enhancement of the analysis.
