The data collection techniques were observations, interviews and tests. Hence, the data were in the forms of field notes, interview transcripts, and the students’ score. They were analyzed in two ways, qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative data were analyzed in five stages i.e. assembling the data, coding the data, comparing the data, building interpretations, and reporting the outcomes.
