What are the strengths to conducting a mixed method study?
Discuss the three major factors that should be considered when conducting a mixed method study (i.e., emphasis, timing, and interpretation of mixing the finding).
Develop a hypothetical research scenario that would warrant the application of the convergent-parallel approach. What type of design would be best utilized along with this approach?
Develop a hypothetical research scenario that would warrant the application of the embedded approach. What type of design would be best utilized along with this approach?
Develop a hypothetical research scenario that would warrant the application of the explanatory-sequential approach. What type of design would be best utilized along with this approach?
Develop a hypothetical research scenario that would warrant the application of the exploratory-sequential approach. What type of design would be best utilized along with this approach?
Use the companion website and locate a full-text version of any one of the designs found under mixed methods. Why did the authors utilize the particular design? Did the authors discuss the limitations and strengths to the study? Expand on your answer as to why it is important to discuss the limitations of the design.
Develop a hypothetical research scenario that would warrant the application of a mixed method single-case approach. What type of design would be best utilized along with this approach?
What is the advantage to including qualitative data in the single-case approach?
Can all the conditions be met to establish cause and effect for mixed methods studies? Why or why not?
Are the threats to any type of validity just as important to the mixed method as it is to the quantitative method? Justify your response.
