Week 7 : Validity of study literature, Triangulation use of 3 different techniques,
novel, book, interview
Triangulation is essentially a multi-method approach that researchers use when
collecting and analyzing data. The basic idea is that the phenomenon under study can be well
understood so that a high level of truth can be obtained when approached from various points of
view. Photographing a single phenomenon from different points of view will allow a reliable
degree of truth to be obtained. Therefore, triangulation is an attempt to check the truth of data or
information obtained by researchers from various different points of view by reducing as much
as possible the bias that occurs during data collection and analysis.

In his various works, Norman K. Denkin defines triangulation as a combination or

combination of various methods used to examine interrelated phenomena from different points of
view and perspectives. Until now, Denkin's concept is used by qualitative researchers in various
fields. According to him, triangulation includes four things, namely:
(1) method triangulation
(2) inter-researcher triangulation (if the research is conducted in groups)
(3) triangulation of data sources
(4) theoretical triangulation.

In education, literature and learning are able to contribute considerably to the cultural,
historical, social and literary patterns themselves. Literature is also able to provide a positive
value for readers. The purpose of this study is to explain the value of the character in the novel
and its relevance to learning literature in college. 

The following are four general validation to compiling a book literature.

(1) Chronological, meaning from an older publication to a newer one.
(2) Thematic, arranged in such a way around several major themes.
(3) Methodologically, you can compare different research methods used across studies.
(4) Using theory to discuss opposing theories or models.
 Interview is a method used to find primary data and is a method that is widely used in
interpretive research and critical research. Interviews were conducted when researchers
wanted to dig deeper into the attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, or experiences of the respondents
towards social phenomena. The hallmark of this method is the exchange of information
verbally with one or more people. There is the role of the interviewer who tries to dig up
information and gain understanding from the respondent.

Interviews can be said to be more than just a tool. If the interview is seen only as a tool,

the illustration would be as follows:

• Respondents were contacted to determine the schedule, location, and interview rules

• Questions were designed to elicit predictable answers until the interview protocol was met

• The respondent's job was to answer questions and they waited for the questions to be submit

• Respondents do not have the authority to ask back questions and if they ask then it is a form of

clarification
