The qualitative method involved collecting data through in-depth interviews with three interviewees to express their arguments or experiences as teachers while encountering various situations in rural areas. The interview audio recordings were transcribed into verbatim transcripts, solidified into factual solids, and the researchers created themes to narrow down issues discussed during the research discussion section.
