    Mixed method research involves using both qualitative and quantitative research designs to conduct a study (Sheperis, Young, & Daniel, 2010). Mixed method research allows researchers to use both qualitative and quantitative data to verify findings. There are many different mixed method designs which can be used. This paper deconstructs a course article "Latino Definitions of Success: A Cultural Model of Intercultural Competence," (Torres, 2009). The paper describes the kind of mixed design used, the theoretical lens underlying the study, the data analysis procedures used and finally the rationale for using this design in the study.…

    Mixed methods design have be used to collect and analyze data through combining both quantitative and qualitative methods (Leedy & Ormrod, 2010). The use of quantitative and mixed method will not be suitable for this study because this study will use a small sample instead of a large-scale sample, which is used in quantitative designs. Therefore, a narrative, case study design will be used to show and describe the presented problem using the participants’ words. Based on the environment and participating sample size from a small rural school district, a quantitative design will not be used because quantitative methods involve one hundred or more samples (Leedy & Ormrod, 2010). Unlike quantitative methods, qualitative inquiry can be used to provide several…

    There are two major approaches to research inquiry that of quantitative, dealing with experiments & surveys & qualitative, which is concerned with words rather than numbers involves more narrative, observational or case studies. A mixed method approach can also be used, and is becoming more acceptable 3; where qualitative data such as observations & interviews can be combined with traditional surveys McLeod suggests that each research cycle consists of six stages 4; which incorporate questionfinding; planning; data-gathering; data analysis; writing and dissemination. Each cycle leading a researcher to form more questions to expand their learning. Questions or themes to be investigated through research need to be finely tuned. Each researcher comes with certain assumptions, philosophy and theoretical perspective which need to be challenged and critically assessed. Research is not done in a vacuum, and can be viewed as a complex form of collective learning 5, so it is important to become familiar with other work done on the same subject, and link ones topic to issues, theories and methods already identified as important. A review of literature is an informative way to learn about ones chosen topic, assess gaps in knowledge and help…

    The first of these designs is “mixed-method design” this design unique in comparison to other designs as it concentrates more on the idea of how a researcher question is approached rather than the methodology that is employed. The mixed-method design is a process that attempts to understand the idea of the real world in context as it pertains to both multiple perspectives as well as cultural effects. The predominate focus of mixed-method design is the high degree of concentration of qualitative research as it draws parallels to quantitative constructs this in turns gives the mixed-method design a holistic approach utilizing multiple processes in both data collection as well as the attempting to combine the strengths of both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. The draw back to mixed-method design is quantitative research and design is interested in ascertaining only one answer posed by a research question and the experimentation process that is required to obtain this answer, whereas qualitative is essentially the opposite of quantitative where the delineation is focus of gathering multiple answers. Another drawback to mixed-method design is…

    Researchers have controversies and arguments about the validity of various research designs and approaches. Qualitative studies may have strong internal validity, but questionable external validity (Burns, Grove, & Gray, 2011). A single approach to measuring a concept may be inadequate to justify a claim that it is a valid measure of a theoretical concept. Qualitative data use open ended questions, Quantitative data use instrument based questions. Mixed methods design may use both open and closed questions. Qualitative data has few samples. Quantitative data uses instruments, inferential statistics. Qualitative data uses software usually for analyzing data. Mixed method designs may use both software and inferential statistics to analyze data. Mixed methods approaches offer investigators to utilize the strengths of both qualitative and quantitative research designs (Burns, Grove, & Gray, 2011).…
