    The key takeaways are the researcher's responsibilities to inform respondents, build rapport, facilitate discussion, maintain confidentiality and utilize tools to aid in data collection.

    The role of the researcher is to inform respondents about the study purpose, build good relationships, facilitate discussion in an open and unbiased manner, establish discussion rules, and make respondents feel at ease.

    The components of trustworthiness in research are credibility, dependability, confirmability and transferability. Credibility refers to the believability of data. Dependability deals with stability of data over time and conditions. Confirmability refers to neutrality of data. Transferability refers to applicability of findings to other situations.

    Role of the researcher

    It is the responsibility of the researcher to inform their respondents about the purpose

    of their study and to ensure to build a good relationship to their respondents. The

    researcher acts as a facilitator of their discussion, as a facilitator they need to be open-

    minded and has a skills in evoking such information. To have a better and productive

    communication, the researcher should set first the respondents an establish some rules

    like each question should adressed one at a time and to respects one another's

    opinions or answers.

    The researcher requires to settle or put on ease first their respondents and they should

    introduce the topic of their study. During the interview session or survey proper the

    question be asked using a particular examples to reach a general conclusion about

    something, it starts with the general to specific form or structure of the questions. Of

    course all the information or answers from the respondents should be confidential.

    According to Holloway and Wheeler (2002:128), facilatators must have social and

    referrencing skills to guide the respondents to interact effectively and without directing

    the discussion or coercing the respondents. The researcher dealt with hurtful remarks

    and prejudice by repeating the ground rules and using good facilitating skills. The

    researcher also should be able to use the instrument required to aid in data collection.

    To make it easier and effective in collecting data researcher must utilize technologies

    like tape recorder to successfully record the responses of their respondents.

    Trustworthiness
    The researcher ensured that this study includes trustworthiness and reliability. It

    measures on how the date is validated and clearly defines that it is an integral part of

    the research because it contains the truthfulness of the research. Trustworthiness

    shows the reliability of the study if it reflects or connects with the idea of respondents. It

    also discuss the research dependence on the experience of the respondents aside from

    their theoretical knowledge. The trustworthiness involves, credibility, dependability,

    confirmabality and transferability.

    First is the credibility, according to Polit ( 2001:32) refers to the confidence of the data.

    It is only believable when the data is already exists even the study is just under

    investigation. It also affirm that validity and reliability are justifiable in research although

    qualitative research use different procedures to establish validity and reliability. Internal

    validity is important in qualitative research in which researcher demonstrates the reality

    of the participants through detailed description of the discussion (Polit, 2001:32).

    Next is the dependability, according to Polit (2004:315), wherein it dealts with the

    stability of the data over time and over conditions. A study that reflects to dependability

    should be exact and must be congruent. There are two methods in assessing

    dependability of data it includes, stepwise replication and inquiry audit. Stepwise

    replication involves several researcher who can be divided into two teams to conduct

    separate inquiries with a view in comparing data as well as conclusions. Data

    collections were compared by the research supervisors. Meanwhile, the inquiry audit

    refers to the data and relevant supporting documents being scrutinized by an external

    reviewer. The supervisor of the research must be the one to audit the research.
    Then, conformability according to Polit (2001:315), refers to the neutrality or objectivity

    of data. It is more concern about the characteristics of the data. It means that whatever

    is the findings of the reserach or study is clearly and truly the result of the study and not

    with the perception or views of the researcher. The characteristics of the data given is

    dependable. According to Holloway and Wheeler (2002:255) states that inquiry audit

    can be used to trace the data to their sources. In this way, the researcher can check

    them on how it arrived at the themes, interpretations, and findings of the study.

    Lastly, transferability refers to the findings of the research project that can be applicable

    to similar or situations or respondents (Holloway and Wheeler, 2002:255). Definitely all

    the knowledge that is included in the context of the study can be applicable for the other

    study. It can be the basis of the other upcoming studies that can be developed or can

    be enhanced by the next and future researcher.

    Delimitation and limitation

    This research will study the different kind of meals that the canteen offered to the

    students of University of Mindanao. It will also focus on how the meals or food in the

    canteen affects the food preferences of the students in choosing the right food for them

    and if a certain meal or food change their perceptions as well.
