What is mixed methods research?
- A systematic approach to data collection and analysis
- Integrates different sources of data and quantitative and qualitative analytical procedures
- Has the intention to engage multiple perspectives in order to fully understand complex social phenomenon
Mixed methods research embraces 2 different analytical logics. What are they?
1) An exploratory/hypotheses generating research (qualitative)
2) A confirmatory/hypotheses confirmation (quantitative)
What does an integration of qualitative and quantitative research allow us to develop?
A powerful understanding of research problems

When planning Qual-Quant research, what should be considered?
Order and dominance of Qual-Quant
How do we decide the order and dominance of Qual-Quant?
Decision matrix
(adapted from Morgan’s Priority Sequence Model 1998)
