How would we combine two types of data?

Qualitative Text Data
 This is a sample of a text
file of words that might be
collected on interview
transcripts, observation
field notes, or optically-
scanned documents.
Quantitative Numeric Data

Quantitative data
 Instruments
 Checklists

census
 Records
Qualitative data
 Interviews
 Observations
 Documents studies
 Case study
 Audio-visual
materials

Quantitative analysis
Use statistical analysis,
o For description
o For comparing groups
o For relating variables
Qualitative analysis
 Use text and images,
o For coding
o For theme
development
o For relating themes

How methods can be mixed ?
6
Types of mixing Reasons
1. Two types of research question. One fitting a quantitative approach and the
other qualitative.
2. The manner in which the research
questions are developed.
Preplanned (quantitative) versus
participatory/emergent (qualitative).
3. Two types of sampling procedure. Probability versus purposive.
4. Two types of data collection
procedures.
Surveys (quantitative) versus focus groups
(qualitative).
5. Two types of data analysis. Numerical versus textual (or visual).
6. Two types of data analysis. Statistical versus thematic.
7. Two types of conclusions. Objective versus subjective interpretations.

 Collects both quantitative and qualitative data
 ‘Mixes’ them
 ‘Mixes’ them at the same time(concurrently) or one after
another (sequentially)
 Emphasizes both equally or unequally

Definition
Mixed methods research is a procedure for collecting,
analyzing and “mixing” both quantitative and qualitative
methods in a single study or a series of studies to
understand a research problem. -Creswell & Plano
Clark(2011)
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.

When do we conduct a mixed methods study ?
9
When…..
 we have both quantitative and qualitative data
 one type of research is not enough to explain or to
answer the question
 we want qualitative research to help explain quantitative
findings
 we want to generalize findings to a large population
 we want to provide alternative perspectives in a study

2. The Explanatory Sequential Design

4. The Embedded Design

The Convergent Parallel Design
The researcher…
11

Continue…
Characteristic
Data Collection Priority (Equal)
Sequence (Concurrently/ Simultaneously)
Use of Data (To Compare Similar/Dissimilar)
12

The Explanatory Design
13
 An explanatory sequential mixed methods design consists of first
collecting quantitative data and then collecting qualitative data to help
explain or elaborate on the quantitative results.
 Example: You first conduct a survey and then follow up with a few
individuals who answered positively to the questions through interviews

Continue…
Characteristic
Data collection:- 2-phases
Data Collection Priority (Quantitative Data)
Sequence (First Quantitative Data and then Qual.)
Use of Data (To Refine, Polish, Elaborate)
14

 Viewing the study as a two-phase project
 It involves the procedure of first gathering qualitative data to explore
a phenomenon and then collecting quantitative data to explain
relationship found in the qualitative data.
 Example: You collect qualitative diary entries, analyze the data for
themes, and then develop an instrument based on the themes to
measure attitudes on a quantitative survey administered to a large
sample.
15
The Exploratory Design

Continue…
Characteristic
Data collection:- 2-phases
Data Collection Priority (Qualitative Data)
Sequence (First Qual. & then Quant.)
Use of Data (To Refine, Polish, Elaborate)
16

The Embedded Design
Both forms of data goes simultaneously or sequentially
 but one form of data play supportive role to other form
The researcher ….
Gives priority to the major form of data collection ( Quant. Most
often)
Collects second form of data to support the first form (most often
Qual.)
The secondary method is “embedded” or “nested” within the
predominant method and addresses a different question.
17

Continue…
Characteristic
Data Collection Priority (Often Quant./Often Qual.)
Sequence (Sequentially / Simultaneously)
Use of Data (To Provide additional Source or
Argument)
18

The Transformative Design
 Use one of four mixed research design
 Framework provides orienting lens for the mixed method design
 The intent
o To address social issues faced by the group of people
19

The Multiple Design
1. Use any one of four design
2. Most complex design
3. Examine problem or topic through a series of phases or separate studies
20

Major Characteristics of MMR Design
 Provide a rationale for the design
 Include collecting both (Quant. & Qual.) data
 Consider Priority:- Weight of data
 Consider Sequence: - Sequence of data collection
 Match the data analysis to a design: - challenging procedure
 Diagram the procedures
21

Steps of Conducting Mixed Method Study
Step 1:- Determine if a mixed methods study is ‘feasible’
Step 2:- Identify a rationale for mixing methods
Step 3:- Identify a data collection strategy
Step 4:- Develop Quant., Qual. & Mixed methods Questions
Step 5:- Collect Quant. & Qual. Data
Step 6:- Analyze data separately, concurrently, or both
Step 7:-Write the ‘report’ as a one or two-phase or a multiple
phase study

Criteria for evaluating MMR Design
 Describes that mixed method is the best approach to answer the
research questions.
 Incorporates both qual. & quant. data collection and analysis
 Explicitly combines or mixes the two datasets
 Frames the study within one of the MMR design
 Provides a diagram of the procedures – timing, priority, and mixing
 Signals to the reader that the study is using MMR design
24

Major Ethical Issues in MMR Design
 In convergent design:- the two different sample size (Quant. & Qual.)
 In an explanatory design:- need large quant. Data to follow up qual.
database – participant may not provide the actual data
 In an embedded design:- for initial qualitative interviews – place
participants into a control group – no beneficial treatment
25

Some strengths of MMR…
Can be easy to describe and to report
Can be useful when unexpected results arise from a prior
study
Can help to generalize qualitative data
Helpful in designing and validating an instrument
Can position research in a transformative framework
26

Some weaknesses of MMR…
Maximum Time required.
Discrepancies between different types of data.
Can be difficult to decide when to proceed in
sequential designs.
Little guidance on transformative methods.
