A qualitative contentanalysis provided a structured framework to organize and examine the data for meaning (Hsieh &Shannon, 2005). The first phase of the analysis employed an inductive approach guided by valuesand process coding to disassemble the data, examine the interviewees’ connections to each other,and search for initial patterns. The process coding was used to identify the students' reactions andresponses regarding their classroom and campus experiences (Saldaña, 2013). The values codingapproach highlighted the student’s values, attitudes, and beliefs in these situations (Saldaña, 2013).Second Phase
