Week 10: MM research Flashcards
what is mixed method research
‘Research in Which the investigator collects and analyzes data, integrates the findings, and draws inferences using both qualitative and quantitative approaches or methods in a single study or program of inquiry”
what is the main multi method consideration
integration
what are some advantages of mixed method research
Pragmatism paradigm
“The research question should drive the inquiry and
…the question is more important than the method”
(usually at least 2 research questions are involved)
Complementarity: Promotes the best of both approaches
Practicality: Researchers can ask questions that cannot be studied using only one method
Enhanced validity: When support for a model or hypothesis comes from complementary types of data, can be more confident about the validity of results
how does mixed methods impact validity
Enhanced validity: When support for a model or hypothesis comes from complementary types of data, can be more confident about the validity of results
what is convergent design
quant and qual together
sequential design two types?
explanatory and exploratory
convergent design is ….
parallel
what notation indicates a convergent design
+
what notation indicates sequential design
an arrow
what notation indicates priority
capitalization
what notation indicates non- dominant
lowercase
explanatory designs always have quantitative _____
1st
exploratory designs always have quantitative studies
second
what relationships can you see with mixed method
Identical
Parallel
Nested
Multilevel
generalizability
can the population being sampled be looked at diversely
identical sample
same people in each group, not as common
parallel sample
quantitative approach going and a different group in the qualitative group but going at the same time
a nested relationship
a big sample is the quantitive piece and then looking in the bigger pool for some participants to do qualitative as well (same people but some taken for both)
this is commonly done and can see congruence here
multilevel relationship
when you have participants who are in different types of categories –> different groups of people
how does sampling usually look in mixed method
usually large quantitative group with smaller qualitative
how does data collection work for mm research
two different group
analysis
1+1 = 3
what are some different types of analysis
separate vs merged
interpretive integration
converting data
meta matrices
what is converting data
quantifying qualitiative data and qualifying quantitative data
what is matrices
look to book
quality in MM research
inference quality and inference transferability
what is inference quality
believable and accuracy of the conclusions
how do you deal with inference quality in quantitative data
internal validity
statistical conclusion validity
how do you determine inference quality in qualitative study
credibility
inference transferability in quantitative
external validity
inference transferability in qualitative is
transferability
