This chapter introduces the methods used, the data sources, the data collection tool, the
sampling technique, the procedure and the data analysis of the study.
Methods Used
This is by nature a qualitative study that includes transcribed data (Cole, 1988) and extensive
analysis (Creswell 2009; 2013). This approach is not limited to counting words in texts
(Weber, 1990; Hsieh & Shannon, 2005), but rather aims to classify similarities of meanings,
patterns and themes (Budd, Thorpand Donohew, 1967; Lindkvist, 1981; Mc Tavish & Pirro,
1990; Tesch, 1990) and not just on the basis of individual data or sources (Morrow, 2005;
Maltarud, 2001). ;; Yin, 2011; and Jacobs, Sorensen and Walker, 2013).
In addition, this study will use qualitative hermeneutics phenomenology research design that
focuses on subjective experience of either individuals or groups. It is an attempt to reveal the
world as it is experienced or perceived by informants through their life stories. The data used
in this study are collected through interviews and focus group discussions of the informants
(Kafle, 2011; Flinders, 1997; Cresswell, 2005). Hanson, Clark Plano and Morales, 2007;
Patton, 2005)
Finally, thematic analysis is used and the triangulation method is used to verify the data and
to deepen and expand the understanding of the informant's narrative (Denzin, 1973).
Sources of Data
The data is taken from the responses in in-depth interviews and informative focus group
discussions. Thematic analysis technique is used to closely examine the data to identify
common themes: themes, ideas, and patterns of meaning that crop up repeatedly (Caulfield,
2019).
In addition, the informants' answers are transcribed verbatim and translated into English. The
language experts then approve the correctness and plausibility of the transcript along with the
audit trail. The audit trail will help establish the credibility of qualitative studies and convince
the scientific community of their accuracy and reliability (Rodgers and Cowles, 1993; Wolf,
2003). Thematic analysis is used.The results are triangulated and the presentation of the
results follows.
