CHAPTER 10 MIXED METHODS PROCEDURES

LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Describe each of the six characteristics of mixed methods research to use in a definition. 2. Create a justification for using mixed methods research in a proposal or study. 3. Define key terms used in mixed methods, such as open- and closed-ended data, research design, integration, joint displays, and metainferences when presented in

a proposal or study. 4. Contrast quantitative and qualitative data when presented in a study. 5. Identify for a core design its intent, procedures for data collection, integration, metainferences, and validity. 6. Choose a type of mixed methods design for a study, and present reasons for the choice. 7. Identify the elements that go into an integration statement for a proposal or a study.

INTRODUCTION Up until this point, we have considered writing quantitative and qualitative methods. We have not discussed “mixing” or combining the two forms of data in a study: a mixed methods procedure. We can start with the assumption that both forms of data provide different types of information (open-ended data in the case of qualitative and closed-ended data in the case of quantitative). Suppose we further assume that each type of data collection has both limitations and strengths. In that case we can consider how to combine the strengths to develop a stronger understanding of the research problem or questions (and overcome the limitations of each). In a sense, more insight into a problem must be gained from mixing or integrating the quantitative and qualitative data. This “mixing” or integrating of data provides a stronger understanding of the problem or question than either by itself. Mixed methods research is simply “mining” the databases more by integrating them. This idea is at the core of a new methodology called “mixed methods research.”

Table 10.1 shows a checklist of the mixed methods procedures addressed in this chapter. The checklist follows the chapter topics and some important terms for engaging in this methodology.
