Mixed Method
Research
⚫A mixed methods research
design is a procedure for
collecting, analysing, and “mixing”
both quantitative and qualitative
research and methods in a single
study to understand a research
problem.
⚫To utilize this design effectively,
you must understand both
quantitative and qualitative
research.

8. Conducting Mixed
Method Research
8
Steps
Determine if a mixed
methods study is
feasible
Develop quantitative,
qualitative, and mixed
methods questions
Write the report as a
one- or two-phase
study
Identify the data
collection strategy and
type of design
Identify a rationale
for a mixed methods
study
Step 1
Step 2
Step 4
Step 3
Collect quantitative
and qualitative data
Step 5
Analyze data
separately or
concurrently
Step 6
Step 7

Design
When to Use Mixed Method
⚫ When both quantitative and qualitative data,
together, provide a better understanding of your
research problem than either type by itself.
⚫ When one type of research (qualitative or
quantitative) is not enough to address the
research problem or answer the research
questions.
⚫ Pragmatism – practicality; multiple view
points; biased and unbiased; subjective and
objective
⚫ To incorporate a qualitative component into
an otherwise quantitative study
⚫ To build from one phase of a study to another
⚫ Explore qualitatively then develop an
instrument
⚫ Follow-up a quantitative study qualitatively
to obtain more detailed information
