TYPES OF MIXED METHODS DESIGNS?

TYPES OF MIXED METHODS DESIGNS?

1. Questions that help identify a mixed methods study:

   • Is there evidence in the title?
     • Is there evidence in the data collection section?
       • Is there evidence in the purpose statement or the research questions?

2. The Convergent Parallel Design

   • Is to simultaneously collect quantitative and qualitative data
     • proporciona fortalezas para compensar las debilidades de la otra
     • comprensión más completa de un problema
     • qualitative observation strengthens quantitative data
     • QUAN and QUAL
     • Integrates quantitative and qualitative data during data analysis

3. the exploratory sequential design

   • Emphasizes qualitative data (QUAL) more than quantitative data (quan).
   • The mixed methods researcher collects quantitative data first in sequence.
   • The mixed methods researcher plans quantitative data to expand or explain initial qualitative findings.
   • Initial qualitative exploration leads to detailed results
   • An advantage allows measures to be identified based on data obtained from study participants.

4. the embeded sequential design

   • Is to collect quantitative and qualitative data simultaneously or sequentially
   • Supporting data can be qualitative or quantitative.
   • collect qualitative data before or after the experiment to help support the experimental study.
   • Collecting data before the experiment will help design an intervention tailored to the participants.
   • Collecting data after the experiment helps explain and track quantitative results.
   • The mixed methods researcher collects both the quantitative and qualitative data simultaneously or sequentially

5. the explanatorydesign

   • also called two-phase model
     • prioritizes quantitative data collection (QUAN)
     • clearly classify the quantitative and qualitative parts
   • Collect quantitative and qualitative information sequentially in two phases.
   • consists of first collecting quantitative data and then collecting qualitative data
   • quantitative data and results provide a general picture of the problem

6. the transformative design

   • is to use one of the four designs but enclose the design within a transformative frame or lens.
   • Reports the overall purpose of the study, research questions, data collection, and outcome of the study
   • The intent of the framework is to address a social problem for a marginalized population
   • Typical frameworks found in mixed methods are feminist, racial, ethnic perspectives.

7. the multiphase design

   • Researchers use a convergent, explanatory, exploratory, or integrated design across multiple phases or projects of the study
     • Researchers need to interrelate the different ones to address a common research objective.
   • It is based on basic mixed methods designs.
   • researchers need to clearly identify projects or phases that help address a broader goal of the program.
