Instructions
Develop a mixed methods research study plan or outline that integrates quantitative and qualitative approaches to address a specific research question or problem. Select a research topic or problem that can benefit from both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis. Ensure that the research question is sufficiently complex to warrant a mixed methods approach.
Instructions:
Select a research topic or problem that can benefit from both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis. Ensure that the research question is sufficiently complex to warrant a mixed methods approach.
Develop a mixed methods research study plan or outline that includes the following components:
Introduction:
1.Provide background information on the research topic or problem.
Clearly state the research question or problem that will guide the study.
Justification for Mixed Methods:
Explain why a mixed methods approach is appropriate for addressing the research question or problem.
Discuss the advantages of using both quantitative and qualitative methods in this context.
Research Design:
Define the specific mixed methods design that will be used (e.g., explanatory sequential, exploratory sequential, convergent, embedded).
Describe how quantitative and qualitative data will be collected and integrated.
Sampling:
Explain the sampling procedures for both quantitative and qualitative components of the study.
Discuss considerations for determining sample size and potential challenges in sample size estimation.
Ethical Considerations:
