EXAMPLE : USING MIXED METHOD: BOTH QUALITATIVE & QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH QuickStop Convenience Stores Background Once upon a time there was a successful line of convenience stores. We’ll call this group of stores "QuickStop". At some point a staff-member realised that QuickStop seemed to be patronised by many more men than women. This was passed along to the management team and they asked the store tellers to informally keep track of the proportions of men to women who came into their stores.

advantages and disadvantages of qualitative research and briefly quantitative research. This essay will initially present the advantages and disadvantages of qualitative research and briefly quantitative research. It will then go on to critique a qualitative research article yet due to the word count only several factors of this will be critiqued and the article is by Wills ’ et al (2005). Later it will consider the use of the research paper within the clinical practice area; and discuss whether

Testing for Cation and Anions OBJECTIVE: • Determine the presence of a cation or anion by a chemical reaction • Determine the cation and anion in an unknown solution All salt solutions have both positive (Cations) and negative (Anions) ions dissolved in it. In this experiment you will observe chemical reactions to determine the presence of specific anions and cations. Compare your observations with the reactions of the known solutions and the unknown solution to determine the ions present

involves using a nichrome wire loop to introduce a sample into a quiet blue Bunsen flame. Many cations show characteristic colours. The nichrome wire is easily contaminated and was cleaned by dipping it into concentrated hydrochloric acid and heating vigorously with a roaring Bunsen flame. The wire is clean when it gives no colour with the flame. Result of flame testing cations: |Cation Tested |Colour of Flame

Dealing with Data: Using NVivo in the Qualitative Data Analysis Process The decision to use computer software programs for qualitative data analysis is essentially up to the person analyzing the data. There are positives and negatives when using these software programs to analyze data. A researcher in London wanted to find out if using the software package NVivo would be helpful in her data analysis process. The purpose of the study was to consider the difficulties surrounding interrogation
