| Summary: | This case study attempted to investigate the notable characteristics and
roles of two Thai Master English teachers in Nakhonsithammarat Province,
Southern Thailand. The study investigated thoroughly the two case teachers
including their administrators, peer teachers, school boards, and students who
were involved with the case teachers either in the present or in the past. Two
methods of data collection, namely, the qualitative and quantitative approaches
were employed. However, because of the nature of the study, more emphasis
was done on the qualitative method from 34 interviews and 20 classroom
observations of both the case teachers. The interviews and observations were
triangulated by using the Likert Scale Questionnaire. The questionnaires
captured the perceptions and observations of 473 current and past students of
the two teachers. The qualitative data were analysed using the procedures
outlined by Bogden and Biklen (1998); Gay & Airsian (2003) on data reduction
and display. In order to validate the data and the analysis, the interpretative and
crosschecking techniques for triangulation were conducted. |
