Answer the following questions

1. Why should a topic be conducted by a qualitative research design?
2. In relation to a Thesis, write a title for a qualitative research. Based on the
Title of the research, answer the following questions.
a. How should a Background be described?
b. Why do you think the research problems generally cover questions
about: What, How and Why? and write the question for each!
c. How will you distinguish Scope and Limitation? Give example!
d. What should be described in the main theory?
e. Why do you think Relevant Studies are needed?
f. How Conceptual Framework is described?
g. How do you differ Data from Source of Data? Give example!
h. Why does the researcher in qualitative research is called the key
instrument?
i. How do you carry out an Observation and Interview? Give an example
for each!
j. Qualitative data are frequently in the form of transcript of limited
informants/subjects interview. What strategy can be done for
triangulation so that the data and result of data analysis are valid?

*** Good Luck ***

1. because processing topics in qualitative research designs qualitative
researchers can further investigate the focus of research, develop research
focus, so as to describe complex patterns of what is being researched in
the study into more detail, depth and detail so that someone who is not
experienced can find out about it.
2. Title of the research: Semantic Meaning On “Demi Raga Yang Lain and Semua Kan
Berlalu” Songs
a. namely by explaining at the beginning how the basis of Semantics
and its studies are related to language in its function of organizing
and expressing meaning. In this title, we will discuss the lexical
meaning in a song and explore the contents of the song as
knowledge about appreciation of literary developments and
conditions that are happening in the present. Therefore,
researchers are interested in analyzing the types of meanings that
are currently popularly associated with the Covid-19 Pandemic in
a song.
b. it intends to reveal and understand the phenomena experienced by
research subjects such as behavior, perception, motivation, action,
etc. in a holistic manner, so that we have a clear direction in
describing in the form of words and language, in a special context
with the expectation the results obtained are more thorough.
 What is the lexical meaning in the lyrics for the sake of
another body and all will pass away?
 How is the contextual meaning of a word explained in the
lyrics for the sake of another body and everything will pass
away?
c. The scope of the problem is the scope that will be studied through
research by considering the uniqueness of the field of study, the
breadth and feasibility of the problem. for example, in the two
songs the scope of the problem is in the contextual meaning and
the lexical meaning contained in the song lyrics.
 Limitation of the problem is the scope of the problem or attempts
to limit the scope of the problem that is too broad or wide so that
the research can be more focused on to be carried out in other
words actually affirming or clarifying what is the problem. In this
case an example is the problem limitation is limited to the use of 2
songs, namely "For the sake of the other body and all pass away"
d. What needs to be displayed in the main theory in qualitative
research is related to information about semantics and types of
semantic meaning and focuses on the lexical meaning and
contextual meaning of words contained in the two songs which are
the subject of the study.
e. Relevant studies need to be made so that we can provide new
information related to semantic studies, especially on songs that
need to be translated into English, which analysis is needed to
increase the collection of knowledge in understanding the lexical
and contextual meaning of a song.
f. The conceptual framework is a unified whole framework of
thought in order to seek scientific answers to research problems
that explain the variables, the theoretical relationship between
variables that relates to the results of previous research whose
truth can be tested empirically. In this case, namely the two songs,
the conceptual framework is the defending variable is semantic
meaning, while the independent variable is the lexical and
grammatical and contextual meaning.
g. Primary data:
factual and original.
Derived from the first researchers.
Primary data is data that has not been previously collected and is
collected solely for the purpose of investigation. Primary data
refers to data that comes from the researcher for the first time
The process of collecting data directly in the field.
h. Secondary data:
 Results of analysis and interpretation of primary data or data
relating to the past.
Derived from previous researchers
Secondary data may have been collected in accordance with the
requirements of the owner's investigation. Secondary data are
existing data collected by previous investigative institutions and
organizations
The process of collecting data does not go straight to the source.
i. Because the success of a qualitative research depends on how the
implementation process carried out by researchers in the field. so it
is the researcher who plays the main role in how the research
object is directed
making observations is by observing conditions and situations
during interactions with participants, by recording all matters
related to all conditions of the subject in the field.
while the interview process was carried out by drafting questions
in advance related to what was to be achieved
j. Triangulation is a method used in qualitative research to check and
establish validity by analyzing it from multiple perspectives.
Validity in quantitative research is seen based on the accuracy of a
measuring instrument, namely an instrument. Validity in
qualitative research refers to what the research findings are
accurately reflects the situation and is supported by evidence. in
this case the triangulation that can be done on the above topic is
a. Method triangulation is done by comparing information or data
in different ways. In qualitative research, researchers used
interview, observation, and survey methods. To obtain the
correctness of reliable information and a complete picture of
certain information, researchers can
using the interview method and observations or observations to
check the truth.
b. Triangulation of data sources is to explore the truth of certain
information through various methods and sources of data
collection. For example, apart from going through interviews and
observations, researchers can use participant observation, written
documents, archives, historical documents, official records, notes
or personal writing and pictures or photos.
