To ensure the trustworthiness of data in this research, the researcher used the triangulation technique of data analysis to hold the dependability or realiability of this research. Moleong (2008:330) clarified that triangulation is a technique to check the validity of data which uses something else to be the comparison toward
that data. It assesses the sufficiency of the data according to the convergence of multiple data sources or multiple data collections. Based Sugiyono (2009:330), the aim of triangulation data is not to determine the truth about some social phenomenon, rather the purpose of the triangulation technique of data analysis is to increase one’s undersatanding of whatever is being investigated.
