3.5.1 Reliability

In this study, the reliability of the interview taken is proved by the consistency of the responses given by the lecturer. From the interview, the reliability will be stronger as the responses and views are backed up by comments that the lecturers made in the interview and in the online discussion board. A high degree of consistency or stability indicates a high degree of reliability, which means the results are quite similar or repeatable.

3.5.2 Validity

The internal validity is measured whereby the researcher refrained from being bias and prejudice towards the respondents’ responses. The trustworthiness of the study is obtained by the use of member checking and prolonged engagement. Researcher will share the finding gained from the respondents’ perception with the others who are expert in this area of study to discuss the results given. The data will be transcribed. At this point of data analysing, member checking is needed to check whether trustworthiness is found in the result. This approach is significant as it is used to established trustworthiness thus managing the treats of bias in the result.
