INDUCTION
 OBJECTIVE
Students should be able to define mixed method
design

Students can list down the types of mixed method

design

mixed method design

in mixed method design

Students can list the step use and criteria in

 DEFINITION OF MIXED METHOD
DESIGN

MIXED METHOD
DESIGN

QUANTITATIVE QUALITATIVE

Procedure for collecting , analyzing and ‘mix-ing’ both quantitative

And qualitative methods in a single study or a series of studies to
Understand a research problem
(Creswell & Plano Clark, 2011)
 WHEN DO YOU CONDUCT THE MIXED
METHOD DESIGN ?
• When you have research that consist of Quantitative
and Qualitative data and both of it together
cooperate each other to provide a better
understanding of your research problem .
• When you seek to build on the strengths of both
qualitative and quantitative data.
• When one of either quantitative or qualitative data
cannot provide you a strong evidence on research
problem.

TYPES OF

Parallel Design METHOD Design

DESIGN
 Convergent Parallel Design

• Simulataneously collect both Quan + Qual then

merge the data and use the result to understand a
research problem .
• The researchers gathered both Quan Data and Qual
Data that were analyze separately and then
• Makes an interpretation as the result are very
support or contradict each other.
 Quantitative Data
Collection and Analysis

Compare or relate Interpretation

Qualitative Data
Collection and Analysis
 Explanotary Sequential Design

• The researchers use the Quantitative method to

make a research study
• Then , they use the Qualitative method’s data to
prove or elaborate the Quantitative data.
• QUAN Data -> prove by QUAL data -> Mixes Method

Analysis
 Explotary Sequential Design

• The researchers use the Qualitative method to make

a research study
• Then , they use the Quantitative method’s data to
prove or elaborate the Quantitative data.
• QUAL Data -> prove by QUAN data -> Mixes Method

Quantitative Data
Builds to Collection and
Analysis
 Embedded Design

• To collect data quantitative and qualitative

simulataneously or sequentially but need to have
one supportive data to form of perfect data.
• As an example, researcher who make quantitative
experiment will collect qualitative data first to
examine how the participants experienced the
intervention.

( before, during, or after )
 The Transformative Design

• To use one of the four design .

• This frameworks provides an orienting lens for the
mixed method design.
• It involve overall purpose of the study.

Analysis
 The Multiphase Design

• Researchers or a team of researchers examine a

problem or topic through a series of phase or
separate studies.
• The strength of this design lies in the use of multiple
projects to best understand and program objectives

 Provide A Rationale Design

• Justification or rationale for the use of both Quan

and Qual data.
• Example :
• Collecting Quan data in a second phase is important
to test the the Qualitative exploration of the first
phase .
 Include Quantitative And Qualitative
Data

• Should clearly indicate that you are collecting both

Quan and Qual data
• Method of research that consist of 2 method is
typically associated with either numeric or text data
 Consider Priority

• Priority for the collection of quantitative and

qualitative data .
• Researchers places more emphasis on one type of
data than on other data types of data in the research
and the written report.
• Three options you can use :
1. Qualitative and Quantitative are of equal weight
2. Quantitative data > weight than Qualitative data
3. Qualitative data > weight that Quantitave data
 Consider Sequence

• Researchers advance the sequences of data

collection using concurent or sequential approaches
or another combination.

Several option that can be used is collect :

1. Quan and Qual at the same time
2. Quan -> Qual
3. Qual -> Quan
 Diagram The Procedures

• A visualization to indicates the process of the data

collection
• It consist of the labelling that indicates the
sequences of the activity.
• By Using this method of visualization , the researches
could see the sequence of using multiple data which
is Quantitative and Qualitative data.
 Potential Ethical Issues

Quantitative Qualitative

Obtaining permissions Conveying the purpose

Protecting anonymity of Avoiding deceptive practices

respondents
Not disrupting sites Respecting vulnereble
populations
Communicating the purpose Respecting indigenous cultures

Masking the identities of

participants

1. Acceptability
2. Demand
3. Implementation
4. Practicality
5. Adaptation
6. Intergration
 Step 2 : Identify A Rationale For A
Mixed Methods Study

WHY?

Qualitative Quantitative
Data Data
 Step 3 : Identify The Data Collection
Strategy And Type Of Design

• Planning procedures
- Priority to Quantitative and Qualitative data
- Data collection in Sequence Or
Concurrently
- Specific forms
- Quantitative data ( Attendance records )
- Qualitative data ( Pictures )
 Step 4 : Develop Qualitative, Quantitative
And Mixed Methods Research Question

• Identify questions prior to a study or may

emerge during the study
• Create tentative questions
- Exploratory questions
- Analytic-variables questions
- Quantitative questions ( relationship among
independent and dependent )
- Qualitative questions ( open ended and
nondirectional in nature and seek to describe the
phenomena
 Step 5 : Collect Qualitative And
Quantitative Data

• Rigorous quantitative procedures

• Persuasive qualitative procedures

• Sequence collect data will depends on the type of

design
- Statistical programs
- Text analysis programs
 Step 6 : Analyze Data Separately Or
Concurrently

• Analyze quantitative data separately from qualitative

data
- Explanatory design
- Exploratory design

• Integrate the data analysis

- Convergent design
 Step 7 : Write The Report As One- Or
Two Phase Study

• The report is written in two phases

- Specify the problem and the literature
- Data collection, analysis, interpretation
- One- quantitative, One-qualitative

• The report integrates the quantitative and qualitative

phases of the study in each section
 Specific Aspect In High-quality Mixed
Methods Study
• The best approach to answer the research questions
is adequate as an approach
• Incorporates both qualitative nor quantitative data
collection and analysis
• Explicitly combines or mixes the two dataset
• Provides a diagram of the procedures to clarify the
timing, priority, and mixing within the study
• Signals to the reader that the study is using mixed
methods
