This week’s readings provide an overview of various types of mixed methods research designs. As with previous discussions on design, the selection of the most appropriate mixed design is guided by the study’s purpose and research questions and/or hypotheses. The choice of design links the research questions and/or hypotheses to the data that will be collected achieving alignment among research components.

In this Discussion, you will explore the basics of mixed methods research designs, calling upon your growing understanding of both quantitative and qualitative research.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4

Post your response to the question, “To what extent is mixed methods research simply taking a quantitative design and a qualitative design and putting them together?” Next, explain the types of research questions best served by mixed methods research. Then, explain one strength and one limitation of mixed methods research. Finally, provide a rationale for or against the utility of mixed methods research in your discipline.

In the previous weeks, you have discussed about qualitative research and quantitative research independently. Now you will be exploring a systematic mixture of these two methodologies. In mixed methods, many times you will find that either qualitative research is conducted first with quantitative research used as confirmation or vice versa. For this week’s discussion, please consider the following prompts:

Post a response to the following:

To what extent is mixed methods research simply taking a quantitative design and a qualitative design and putting them together?
Explain the types of research questions best served by mixed methods research.
Explain one strength and one limitation of mixed methods research.
Provide a rationale for or against the utility of mixed methods research in your discipline.
