1. Which of the following aspects are NOT considered as values that mixed methods research
adds to qualitative or quantitative approaches?
1) Mixed methods research enables you to simultaneously address a range of confirmatory
and exploratory questions with both the qualitative and quantitative approaches and
therefore verify and generate theory in the same study. This reflects the value of
completeness.
2) Mixed methods research provides strengths that offset the weaknesses of both quantitative
and qualitative research, and therefore has the potential to provide better (stronger)
inferences. This reflects the value of complementarity.
3) Mixed methods research provides more comprehensive evidence for studying a complex
research problem than either quantitative or qualitative research alone. This reflects the
value of resolution of complex issues.
4) Mixed methods research, just like multimethod studies, is extremely easy to perform and
requires a basic level of methodological expertise to guide the conduct of the study
throughout its different stages and ensure the application of the most appropriate
procedures at each point. This reflects the value of knowledge.
5) Mixed methods research encourages you to collaborate across the occasional antagonistic
relationship between quantitative and qualitative researchers. If findings are corroborated
across different approaches, then greater confidence can be held in the singular
conclusion; if the findings conflict, then you have greater knowledge and can modify
interpretations and conclusions accordingly. In many cases, however, the goal of mixing is
not to search for corroboration but rather to expand your own understanding. This reflects
the value of triangulation.
2. Which key consideration is NOT important when one considers the core mixed methods
design elements?
1) The design should match the research problem that you want to study and your intent.
2) The expectations of the audience for the research can influence the design choice,
particularly if the audience or particular discipline values one type of evidence or design
over another type or uses a particular design more frequently.
3) The researcher should evaluate their own expertise and consider the quantitative and
qualitative skills that they already possess. If they lack expertise in certain methods, they
could consider working in a team or opting for a design that matches their skill level.
4) the steps in the process are usually linear or unidirectional; and are based only on the
positivistic (or post-positivistic) scientific worldview.
5) The researcher should also consider available resources, such as the time available to
complete the study and any available funding resources.
3. QUAN ➝ qual is a mixed methods notation that indicates …
1) a qualitatively and quantitatively driven concurrent study where qualitative and
quantitative data collection occurs at the same time and given equal priority.
2) a quantitatively driven sequential study where quantitative data collection is followed by
qualitative data collection with unequal priority.
3) that the qualitative methods are embedded within a quantitative design.
4) simultaneous or concurrent designs that are designated by a plus [+] sign.
5) the notational system developed by Campbell and Stanley (1966) that uses Xs and 0s to
represent different experimental procedures.
