  1. Mixed Method Research Elke Johanna de Buhr, PhD Tulane University

  2. Textbook Chapters • Creswell, Chapter 9 • Creswell & Clark, Chapter 3

  3. Your Research Proposal I. Introduction • A. Problemstatement • B. Research question(s) • C. Hypothesis • D. Definitions of terms II. Review of the relevant literature (the more complete, the better) • A. Importance of the question being asked • B. Current status of the topic • C. Relationship between the literature and the problem statement III. Method • A. Target population • B. Research design and sampling • C. Data collection plans • D. Proposed analysis of the data IV. Implications and limitations 

  4. Mixed Methods Research • Mixed methods studies include at least one quantitative strand and one qualitative strand. • Design needs to be matched to research problem and questions. Creswell & Clark

  5. Characteristics of Mixed Methods Research Creswell

  6. Fixed vs. Emergent Mixed Methods Designs • Fixed mixed methods designs: Use of quantitative and qualitative methods is predetermined and planned at the start of the research process, and the procedures are implemented as planned. • Emergent mixed methods designs: Use of mixed methods arises due to issues that develop during the process of conducting the research. Creswell & Clark

  7. Four Key Decisions • Will the strands remain independent or be interactive? • Will the two strands have equal or unequal priority for addressing the study’s purpose? • Will the strands be implemented concurrently, sequentially, or across multiple phases? • How will the strands be mixed? Creswell & Clark

  8. Priority of Quantitative and Qualitative Strands Creswell & Clark

  9. Timing of Quantitative and Qualitative Strands Creswell & Clark

  10. Mixing the Quantitative and Qualitative Strands • Mixing at the level of design • Mixing during data collection • Mixing during data analysis • Mixing during interpretation Creswell & Clark

  11. Mixed Methods Designs • Convergent • Explanatory • Exploratory • Embedded • Transformative • Multiphase  These designs are suited for different purposes and often find their basis within different philosophical assumptions. Creswell & Clark

  12. Prototypes of Mixed Method Designs Creswell & Clark

  13. Prototypes of Mixed Method Designs (cont.) Creswell & Clark

  14. The Convergent Parallel Design Creswell & Clark

  15. The Explanatory Sequential Design Creswell & Clark

  16. The Exploratory Sequential Design Creswell & Clark

  17. The Embedded Design Creswell & Clark

  18. The Transformative Design Creswell & Clark

  20. Choosing a Mixed Methods Design Creswell

  21. Describing a Mixed Methods Design in a Report

  22. Creswell & Clark

  23. Group Discussion • Selecting and Describing a Research Design: • A. Target population • B. Research design and sampling • C. Data collection plans • D. Proposed analysis of the data • Discussion of individual projects • Other questions/concerns
