A. Research Method
The purpose of this research is to describe the teachers’ perception on the use of Quizizz. Based on the general purpose of the research, this study classified as the qualitative descriptive research that describes the phenomena which happen at the English Department in case of the use digital game-based learning application in teaching and learning process. Therefore, the method in this research is a descriptive method with qualitative approach.
According to Sugiyono (2016), the qualitative research method is a research method based on post-positivist philosophy that is used to examine the condition of objects in nature (rather than an experiment) which the key instrument is the researcher, data source sampling is done purposefully and snowball, collection techniques include triangulation (combined), data analysis is inductive/qualitative, and qualitative research results emphasize meaning rather than generalization.
B. Research Subject
There are two teachers of English Education Department at UIN Alauddin Makassar as subjects in this research. The first subject (Teacher A) teaches Semantic
& Pragmatic while the second subject (Teacher B) teaches Grammar.
Purposive sampling was used by the researcher to determine the subject of this study. Purposive sampling, according to Sugiyono (2016), is a sampling technique with specific considerations. It means that the object of research or research to be discussed
25
must be in accordance with the research subject or respondent. The subject of this research was taken because they had experience using Quizizz and the frequency with which they used Quizizz was quite frequent. Therefore, there are two teachers as a subject of this research.
C. Data Collecting Procedures
In this research, the researcher needs to use the proper method and relevant data acquisition tools. The use of proper method and instruments in collecting the data helped the researcher to acquire the objective data for the research. In collecting the data of this research, the researcher used interview. According to Sugiyono (2016), there are three types of interview such as structured interview, semi-structure interview and unstructured interview. Therefore, the researcher used semi-structure interview in collecting the data.
Winardi (2018) stated that semi-structured interview is interview where the respondent must answer questions that have been prepared by the interviewer. Before conducting the interview, an interview guide has been prepared in the form of a list of questions or schematic and structured topics explored by the interviewer. This interview guide is useful to keep the interview focused, serve as a guide, and to ensure the interview goes as expected. The purpose of this type of interview is to find problems more openly, where the parties invited to the interview are asked for their opinions and ideas, (Sugiyono, 2016).
Additionally, the researcher communicated with two teachers of English education department that have experience in using Quizizz in teaching their students.
The purpose of this interview is to get further information and ideas about specific topic through intense questions and responses.
D. Research Instrument
The instrument used in this research, namely interview. Interview is a data collection technique when researchers want to carry out a preliminary study to find problems to investigate, and when researchers also want to know things from deeper, (Sugiyono, 2016). The type of interview used in this research is semi-structured interview. The researcher chose semi-structured interview because she has preparing the questions and classifying into several parts. The researcher decided to use semi-structured because the researcher wanted to know directly from the respondents about his opinion in using Quizizz including satisfaction, weaknesses and strengths of the application. Moreover, semi- structured interview is used so that the results obtained are deeper and can be clarified with additional questions during interview.
Interview was conducted to obtain the data. In this case, interview used to get deeper information and validate the data by asking directly to the respondents.
Interview may give further information and explore respondents’ view about something. The instruments used in this research is adopted from the research by Nurhayati & Samiati, (2018). The total number of instrument in this research is ten questions which divided into three indicators, where numbers 1-4 are parts of teachers’
knowledge, numbers 5-7 are parts of teachers’ emotion and numbers 8-10 are parts of teachers’ motivation.

E. Data Analysis Technique
Sugiyono (2016) stated data analysis is the process of searching and composing systematically data obtained from the data collection by organizing data into categories, outdoors into units, performing synthesis, composing into patterns, choosing which matters and which will be learned, and make conclusion so easily understood by owned and others. If the researcher feels the response from respondent is not enough, they can ask for more questions to make sure the information.
According to Miles et al. (2014), there are three phases of analyzing the data;
data condensation, data display and conclusion/ verifying. Therefore, the researcher explained these phases of analyzing data as follows:
1. Data condensation
Data condensation is the first phase of the qualitative data analysis technique according to Miles and Huberman. Data condensation is a simplification, classification, and disposal that does not require data in such a way that the data can produce meaningful information and make it easier to draw conclusions. The large amount of data obtained in the data collection process and the complexity of the data requires researchers to trim and sort out the necessary and important data. Therefore, this phase is carried out for the selection of data that is relevant or not with the final goal.
2. Data Display
The second phase is data display. Generally, a display is a coordinated, packed get together of data that permits end drawing and activity. The display of data is an activity that occurs when a collection of data is organized systematically and easily
understood, allowing for the generation of conclusions. Qualitative data can be presented in the form of narrative text, graphs, charts, and so on. The data will be organized and arranged in a relationship pattern through the display of the data, making it easier to understand.
3. Drawing conclusion/ Verifying
Drawing conclusions and leveraging data is the final phase in qualitative data analysis which is carried out to see the results of data reduction still refer to the analysis objectives to be achieved. This phase aims to find the meaning of the data collected by looking for, similarities, or differences to draw conclusions as answers to existing problems.
As the analyst moves forward, the conclusions are verified. Verification can be as brief as a fleeting second thought crossing the analyst's mind while writing, followed by a brief return to the field notes, or it can be lengthy and elaborate, involving lengthy argumentation and review among colleagues to develop "intersubjective consensus" or extensive efforts to replicate a finding in another data set.
The initial conclusions put forward are still tentative, and will change if there is no strong evidence to support it at the next phase of data collection. When the conclusion put forward at an early stage, supported by valid evidence and consistent when the researcher returns to the field to collect data, then the conclusions put forward are credible conclusions.
