Quantitative
Surveys
Structured interviews
Trustworthiness or authenticity. Qualitative validity comes from standards based on researchers, participants, and reviewers.
List the three basic mixed-methods designs and give a short description for each one.
Convergent
Exploratory sequential
Explanatory sequential
What is the effect of your sample size on quantitative results? Provide an example.
The size of a sample influences the precision of our estimates and the power of the study to draw conclusions.
Mention the sampling approaches discussed in Qualitative research.
• Probability sampling: Not possible for many inquiries/studies
• Purposive sampling: Sampling to maximize range in order to capture “infrequent types”
• Convenience or snowball sampling
When is useful to transform qualitative data into quantitative or vice-versa in mixed-methods research?
More common in mixed methods research is to transform qualitative data into numeric counts (quantitative data) than vice versa.
Describe three characteristics of a "good survey question"
Consistent Meaning
Avoid inadequate wording
The "Don't Know" option
Avoid multiple questions (double-barred)
Standardized expectations for response type
Mention the types of qualitative research that you remember. Explain one.
Narrative
Ethnographic
Phenomenological
Grounded theory
Symbolic interaction
Case study
Participatory action research
When can occur the integration of data in Mixed Methods research? Explain.
This can occur at a single point or multiple points: design, methods, interpretation, and reporting.
What are the differences when representing qualitative and quantitative data?
In quantitative data analysis, researchers represent the results of the analysis in statements, tables, and figures. Statements of quantitative results generally identify the results and summarize the statistical evidence for those results.
In qualitative data analysis, representing the results may involve a discussion of the evidence for the themes or categories, the presentation of figures that depict the physical setting of the study, or diagrams presenting frameworks, models, or theories.
