TYPES OF MIXED METHOD RESEARCH DESIGN

Mixed-method studies encompass various designs tailored to address research questions comprehensively. Sequential Explanatory Design initiates with quantitative data collection and analysis, followed by qualitative inquiry to elucidate findings. Conversely, Sequential Exploratory Design begins with qualitative exploration to inform subsequent quantitative data collection. Convergent Design integrates simultaneous collection of qualitative and quantitative data for triangulation. Embedded Design prioritizes one data type while incorporating the other to enrich understanding. Transformative Design seeks societal change through participatory methods, and Multiphase Design involves sequential phases of data collection and analysis to deepen insights over time. Each design offers unique pathways for researchers to merge qualitative and quantitative approaches, enhancing the depth and breadth of understanding within their studies.
