MIxed Methods Design

What does the researcher need to stablish with all mixed methods studies?

• The validity of the Scores from the quantitative measures

• The planning process

• The results

It is a design in mixed methods that appeals to individuals with a strong quantitative background and it involves two stages.

• Convergent parallel mixed method design

• Explanatory sequential methods design

• Basic Method design.

Why is it useful to convey a basic definition and description of the approach in a method section of a proposal?

• Many different terms are used for this approach

• Mixed methods research is relatively new in the social and human sciences.

• It combines qualitative and quantitative procedures.

What is the benefit of choosing a mixed method approach in a proposal?

• Reliability increases with this type of approach.

• Qualitative and quantitative do not represent a complete study, and mixed methods do

• Strengths from qualitative and quantitative approaches can be combined to develop a stronger understanding

What is the diference between Explanatory Sequential Method and Exploratory Sequential Method?

• The Explanatory Sequential don't appeal to individual with a strong qualitative ground

• The Exploratory Sequential the researchers first begins by exploring with qualitative data

When do you use the Exploratory sequential methods?

• It Is used when the researcher is interested in following up qualitative findings with quantitative analysis.

• It is used when the researcher is interested in following up the quantitative results with qualitative data. Thus, the qualitative data is used in the subsequent interpretation and clarification of the results from the quantitative data analysis.

What are databases in mixed methods data collection ?

• Emphasis and decision

• Priority and weight

• Concurrently and Sequentially

What provides in mixed methods notation ?

• Can easily communicate their procedure.

• Shorthand labels and symbols that convey important aspects

• Form of data collection.

What is the focus of the Transformative Miixed method approach?

• Math and science

• Social change and Ethics

• Global warming and environment

What is a good definition of mixed method approach?

• An approach that combine multiple methods of research iwith multiple questions of studies

• An aproach that involves ,collecting, analizing and interpreting quantitative and qualitative data in a single case of study

• An approach that collect multiple data for an investigation
