CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHOD
A. Research Design
Qualitative research uses variety kinds of qualitative inquiry in
collecting data (such as: observation, interview, documenting, narrating,
publishing text, etc.). Observation is the selection and recording of
behaviors of people in their environment. Observation is useful for
generating in-depth descriptions of organization or events, for obtaining
information that is otherwise inaccessible, and for conducting research
when other methods are inadequate.” (Denzin, 1998).

In this study the researcher will a qualitative approach with the case
study method, referring to John W. Creswell in his book Qualitative Inquiry
and Research Design: Choosing Among Five Traditions that case studies
are an exploration of a bound system or a case/various cases which from
time to time through in-depth data collection and involving various rich
sources of information in a context. This bound system is bound by time
and place while cases can be studied from a program, event, activity, or an
individual and organization. In other words, a case study is research in
which the researcher explores a particular phenomenon (case) at a certain
time and activity (program, event, process, institution, or social group) and
collects detailed and in-depth information using various data collection
procedures over a certain period. This study examines topics in Alay
language on Facebook social media so that it finds new things in the field
by paying attention to observation, interview, and documentation
techniques.

B. Informant Technique
English conversation members in the Facebook group of this
 researcher. Researchers choose 15 accounts that can respond. In this
research, 2 sampling techniques were used, namely: first, the purposive
sampling technique, namely the sampling method used to select subjects
based on specific criteria set by the researcher. The second is snowball
sampling. Neuman (2003) said the sample in this technique was obtained
through a rolling process from one informant to another. The way of taking
samples in this study is by looking for samples from the desired population,
then from the samples that can be asked to participate to choose the
community as a sample again, and so on. The sample research stage, this
research begins with purposive sampling where the researcher chooses an
account that is friends with the researcher as an informant, which in this
case can answer interview questions after the initial informant is asked for a
response, then the researcher conducts the snowball sampling stage by
asking for recommendations from the first informant Regarding who was
asked, the selection of participants was based on who had a Facebook
account.

C. Instrumen of the Research

To collect data from a sample of researchers using observation,
interviews, and documentation:
using observation, an activity on a process or object to understand
knowledge about phenomena based on what has been known before. which
is where researchers observe the attitude of the Alay language on Facebook
through the comments column and groups.
using the in questionering method, in which the researcher selects a
group of friends who can respond to the questions given.
Studi documentation, in which researchers take data in the form of
pictures as evidence that they have conducted interviews or observations.
D. Technique of Data Analysis
This research data collection technique consists of:
Noeng Muhadjir (1998: 104) suggests the notion of analysis data as
an effort to systematically search and organize notes from observations,
interviews, and others to increase the researcher's understanding of the case
under study and present them as findings to others. Meanwhile, to improve
this understanding, the analysis needs to be continued by trying to find
meaning. In Sugiono (2013) Miles and Huberman (1984), argue that
qualitative data analysis activities are carried out in an interactive way and
continue until the end when the data is saturated and the activities of the
data analysis are data reduction, data display, and conclusion. The data
analysis steps are shown as follows:
1. Data Reduction

Data reduction is a selection process, focusing attention on

simplification, abstraction and transformation of raw data that emerges

from written notes in the field. This process continues throughout the

research, even before the data is actually collected, as can be seen from

the research conceptual framework, study problems, and the data

collection approach chosen by the researcher.

2. Data Display

Data presentation is an activity when a collection of information

arranged, so as to provide the possibility of withdrawal conclusions and

taking action. Form of data presentation Qualitative data can be in the form

of narrative texts in the form of field notes, matrices, graphs, networks, and
 charts. These forms combine information that is arranged in a coherent and

easily accessible form, making it easier to see what is going on, whether the

conclusion is correct or otherwise conduct a re-analysis.

3. Conclusion Drawing/Verification\

Efforts to draw conclusions are carried out by researchers

continuously while in the field. From the outset of data collection, the

qualitative researcher begins to look for the meaning of things, noting

regularities of patterns (in the theoretical record), explanations,

possible configurations, causal pathways, and propositions. These

conclusions are handled loosely, remain open, and skeptical, but

conclusions are already provided. At first it was not clear, but then it

became more detailed and firmly rooted.
