Study Notes
Qualitative vs Quantitative Research
- Qualitative Research is prioritized in exploratory studies
- Quantitative research is crucial in explanatory studies
- Qualitative research is often used to provide diverse perspectives
- When analyzing data, qualitative research can provide a deeper understanding of the issue than quantitative research
Mixed Methods Research
- Mixed methods research combines qualitative and quantitative research
- Mixed methods research can be used to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the issue
- Mixed methods research can provide an opportunity to corroborate findings across methods
- Mixed methods research can be used to develop sampling strategies
Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Research
- Researchers should consider ways to integrate qualitative and quantitative data when designing a mixed methods research project
- The research team should include expertise in both qualitative and quantitative research methods
- The research team should consider the relative weight given to qualitative and quantitative data in the study
Issues in Mixed Methods Research
- There may be methodological challenges and limitations associated with conflicting quantitative and qualitative research findings
- Researchers should consider the resources, time, and expertise required to carry out mixed methods research
- Researchers must be transparent about the rationale for using a mixed methods approach
Choosing a Research Methodology
- The researcher must carefully consider the appropriate research methodology for their study
- The decision between qualitative and quantitative research must be based on the research question, theoretical framework, and available resources
- Researchers should be guided by clear criteria to evaluate the quality of their research
