WHAT IS MIXED METHODS RESEARCH?
• Mixed methods research is both a method and methodology for
conducting research that involves collecting, analyzing, and integrating
quantitative and qualitative research in a single study or a longitudinal
program of inquiry.
• The purpose of this form of research is that both qualitative and
quantitative research, in combination, provide a better
understanding of a research problem or issue than either research
approach alone. (John Creswell)

16
A MIXED METHODS RESEARCHER…
Collects both quantitative and
qualitative data
“Mixes” them
“Mixes” them at the same time
(concurrently) or one after the other
(sequentially)
Emphasizes both equally or unequally
COLLECTING BOTH QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DATA
Quantitative data Qualitative data
Instruments Interviews
Observations
Checklists Documents
Records Audio-visual materials

18
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DATA ANALYSIS

Quantitative analysis Qualitative analysis

Use statistical analysis, Use text and images,
For description For coding
For comparing groups For theme
For relating variables development
For relating themes

19
TYPICAL SITUATIONS IN WHICH MIXED
METHODS IS USED…
To compare results from quantitative and qualitative research
To use qualitative research to help explain quantitative findings
To explore using qualitative research and then to generalize
findings to a large population using quantitative research
To develop an instrument because none are available or useful
To augment an experiment with qualitative data
