Module 5 - Mixed Methods Flashcards
Mixed methods research
Combines quan and qual methods.
can be conducted concurrently or sequentially
Stages of mixed methods
Starts with one or more research questions.
Other steps may vary in order.
Sampling mixed methods
There is a time orientation and relationship between quan and qual
Time orientation criterion
do the quan and qual samples occur concurrently or sequentially/
Relationship between quan and qual
Identical - same people participate in both quan and qual phases
Parallel - Samples are different for quan and qual but drawn from same population
Nested - Participants in one phase are subset of participants in another phase
Multilevel- different levels of population (students, teachers)
Intermethod mixing data collection methods
two or more methods of data collection are used
Intramethod mixing data collection
Qual and quan are collected through one method
Monodata - monoanalysis
One type of data, one type of analysis
Not a mixed method
Multidata - Monoanalysis
Multiple data types, One type of analysis
Quan or Qual analysis of qual and quan data
Multidata - multianalysis
Both data types and both analysis
monodata - multianalysis
Qual and quan analysis of qual or quan data
Inside-outside validity
Present subjective insider participant (emic) views and objective outsider researcher (etic) views
Paradigmatic/philosophical validity
Degree the researcher explains their philosophical beliefs about research
Commensurability approximation ability
Degree to which meta-inferences in a mixed research study reflect a mixed worldview
Weakness minimization validity
degree of combination of qual and quan approaches with non-overlapping weaknesses
