Understand The Application Of Qualitative Research In Indonesia
The application of qualitative research methods in Indonesia is more appropriate to use the concepts offered by Creswell, namely: ethnography, phenomenology, case studies, grounded theory and narratives. The functions of qualitative research include those that can be used to describe qualitative data, understand the uniqueness of phenomena, ensure data validity, process research, construct understanding, explore, and understand meaning. Of these several functions of qualitative research, the most difficult to do is to understand the meaning of all functions of qualitative research. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out systematic steps starting from digging up the data, then continuing with categorizing, and then creating themes. The example of the case carried out by Bung Karno in exploring the traditions in Indonesia so that he gave birth to five pearls which were then summarized in the five precepts, which was later called Pancasila, is an example of understanding the best meaning that Indonesia has.
