Qualitative data was analyzed using open coding data techniques. Meanwhile, quantitative data was analyzed using content validity tests from expert judgment and construct validity tests using factorial validity with exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The reliability test in this study used Cronbach's Alpha with a reliability coefficient of 0.626.
