her interview via e-mail. According to Creswell (2012), researchers send open-ended questions to the respondents through their e-mail by using internet facilities .The researcher sent the interview questions to that participant via e-mail and the participant replied. The researcher then noted down her answers. The rest of the participants gave their interviews via zoom meeting. One-on-one interviews are good for those respondents who can speak without any hesitation.(Creswell, 2012).The researcher did a member checking to develop validity and credibility of the study at the last stage of data collection process. (Carlson, 2010). f) Interpretation of Data Qualitative thematic analysis is a method which is used to analyze qualitative data in this research. Thematic analysis is a process which identifies, analyzes, describes and presents themes within discussion part. (Braun & Clarke, 2006). .The researcher adopted data analysis framework proposed by Braun & Clarke (2006) which consists of six steps. These steps are mentioned below: Familiarization with collected data In this phase, the researcher read transcript or listen to video recordings to become aware of the information. She read the answers of the interview questions thoroughly. Generating Initial Codes This phase scientifically analyzes data through codes. Qualitative coding helps the researcher to effectively classify the excerpts of the qualitative data. (Savage, 2000). The researcher tried to find out interpretive codes from the answers. Searching for Themes After coding data the researcher searched for similar codes to generate themes. King (2004) stated that, predefined codes need to be identified first. The researcher found major themes from the similar codes. Reviewing Themes Themes need to have connection with coded data. Then, the researcher reviewed the coded data to find coherence with themes. (Braun & Clarke, 2006). Defining and naming themes In here, the researcher gave names to each of the themes. She gave enough time to name the themes. King (2004) suggested that before finalizing themes it needs to be evaluated at least twice. After evaluating the data and codes the researcher finalized themes of the study. Producing the report After establishing themes, the researcher began to write the final report. (Braun & Clarke, 2006).Thorne (2000) encouraged that researchers need to develop the findings in a systematic process which will make the results believable. g) Ethical Consideration While seeking permission from the respondents the researcher explained the purpose of this research to them (Creswell, 2012). As the participants are classmates of the researcher, she (the researcher) asked for the permission of the participants through messenger chat and told them the purpose of the research. In addition, the researcher used pseudonyms of the participants in this study. IV. F indings and D iscussions a) Leadership Quality Teachers interact with their students on a daily basis and for this reason, they can make the best decisions for their students. Leadership quality does not only mean that teachers should guide their students in a proper way, but it also includes the qualities of motivating and making their students courageous and committed to their passion. Among ten students, Rajib who is a private university student in Bangladesh mentioned in the interview session that effective teachers need to be good leaders so that they can give instructions to their students properly. He also added that for the improvement of our education system teachers need to develop leadership quality which includes showing good communication skills, passion, commitment, and creativity toward their students. Teachers should encourage their students to actively participate in innovative classroom activities, for instance, role-play, information gap activities, impromptu or group presentations, etc. Another female student in the interview session also agreed that teachers should have leadership qualities because if a teacher can become a good leader, he/she can control the class and manage any kind of worst situation inside the classroom. For example, if a student becomes sick inside the classroom only a teacher can take the necessary steps to keep the student comfortable inside the classroom. Apart from some positive comments, the researcher also got some negative comments in the interview session. Anjie who is a female student from a public university in Bangladesh asserted that the education system in Bangladesh has a common situation where teachers get leadership abilities by default. So, rather than leadership ability, she thinks teachers should gain more skills in monitoring and mentoring their students. From the researcher’s perspective, she also agrees with the interviewee to some extent that a teacher needs leadership quality but he/she needs to pay more attention to monitoring his/her students in a proper way. From the literature review section, the researcher identified that Tuhin, Haque, Islam, Rab & Uddin (2019) conducted a study on primary school teachers and students in Bangladesh. From that study, they found that more than half of the total Bangladeshi primary © 2023 Global Journals Volume XXIII Issue VIII Version I 77 ( ) Global Journal of Human Social Science - Year 2023 G Qualities of an Effective Teacher: The Perspectives of Tertiary-Level Students in Bangladesh
