Types of Mixed Methods Designs
Convergent mixed methods design (Figure 10.1)
- Description of the design
Collects both quantitative and qualitative data,
Analyzes them separately,
Compares the results to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other

Types of Mixed Methods Designs
Convergent mixed methods design (Figure 10.1)
- Data collection
Use the same or parallel variables, constructs, or concepts
- Data analysis and integration
Analyze qualitative database
Analyze quantitative database
Integrate the two
Joint display – merge forms of data in a single visual display

Convergent mixed methods design:
- Interpretation
Discussion section compares results and notes convergence or divergence
- Validity
Quantitative validity (e.g., construct)
Qualitative validity (e.g., triangulation)
Mixed methods validity (e.g., unequal sample sizes)

Collection of quantitative data in the first phase
Uses results to plan the second, qualitative phase
Qualitative data help in explain in more detail the initial quantitative results

Exploratory sequential mixed methods design:
- Description of the design
Start with a qualitative phase
Build to a feature to be tested (e.g., survey instrument)
Followed by a quantitative phase that tests the feature

Several complex mixed methods designs:
- Intersecting a secondary method (mixed methods) within a primary quantitative or qualitative design (e.g., an intervention)
- Intersecting mixed methods within another methodology (e.g., evaluation)
- Intersecting mixed methods within a theoretical framework (e.g., social justice)
