3.4 Data analysis
In terms of analyzing the questionnaires data, SPSS was employed to attain related descriptive statistics including means, standard deviations, and frequencies Furthermore, participants’ responses to the questionnaire items were segmented into three sets, including low (1-2.339), moderate (2.34-3.66), and high (3.76-5).
To analyze the data collected from the responses to the interview questions, the framework of the verbal analysis method for coding and analyzing spoken and written data (Chi, 1997) was utilized. The data analysis started with reducing the big amount of the qualitative data. This was done by creating some primary coding on the whole set of data and then more specific coding on a certain subsections. After that, as cited in Ishtaiwa and Dukmak (2013), the data was divided into suitable sections based on semantic features. Afterwards, the researchers developed a coding system. Subsequently, the coding system was implemented to ascertain the main themes. Finally, the recognized themes in the depicted data were interpreted and presented exclusively according to the research questions.
