COLLECTING DATA IN MIXED METHODS RESEARCH

110 CHAPTER6 COLLECTING DATAIN MIXED METHODSRESEARCHR esearchers collect data in a MIXED METHODS study to address theresearch questions or hypotheses. The data collection procedureneeds to fit the type of MIXED METHODS design in the study. Thisrequires using procedures drawn from concurrent forms of data collection,in which both the quantitative and qualitative data are collected concurrently,or from the sequential forms of data collection, in which one type of data iscollected and analyzed prior to a second data collection. Issues develop dur-ing both of these approaches that the investigator must address. However,before discussing the MIXED METHODS data collection procedures, we willbegin with a review of the basic elements of both quantitative and qualitativedata collection within a process approach to chapter will address The procedures for quantitative and qualitative data collection in aresearch study MIXED METHODS data collection procedures for the MIXED meth-ods designs based on concurrent and sequential forms of datacollection06-Creswell (Designing) 5/16/2006 8:59 PM Page 110 PROCEDURES IN QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE data COLLECTIONWhen researchers think about data collection, they often turn to the specifictypes of data collection and the procedures for COLLECTING that data .
