MAXQDA 2020 software was used to analyze the content of the documents. Based on the results, the methodology used in many research is the qualitative method. Most of these researches have been applied, they have used the library method and interviews to collect data and to select the statistical population, experts have been used, and they have used a targeted non-random method to select the statistical sample.
