4 This popularity is beca use RESEARCH methodology continues to evolve and develop, and mixed methods is another step forward, utilizing the strengths of both qualitative and quantitative RESEARCH . Also, the problems addressed by social and health science researchersare com- plex, and the use of either quantitative or qualitative approaches by themselves is inadequate to address this complexity. The interdisciplinary nature of RESEARCH , as well, contributes to the formation of RESEARCH teams with individuals witb diverse methodological interests and approaches. Finally,there is more iosight to be gained from the combi- nation of both qualitative and quantitative RESEARCH than either form by useprovidesan expanded understanding of RESEARCH problems.

5 This chapter brings together many of the threads introduced in the earlier chapters: It extends the discussion about the philosophical assumptions of a pragmatic philosophy, the combined use of qualita- tive and quantitative modes of inquiry, and the use of multiple methods introduced in Chapter l. It also extends the discussion about RESEARCH problems that lncorporote the need both ta explore and explain (Chapter 5). It follows a purpose statement and RESEARCH questions focused on understanding a prablem using both ~ualitative and quan- titative methods (Chapters 6 and 7), and it advances the reasons for using multiple forms af data collection and analysis (Chapters 8 and 9). COMPONENTS OF mixed methods PROCEDURES. mixed methods RESEARCH has evolved a set of procedures that proposal devel- opers can use in planning a rnixed methods study.

6 In 2003. the Handbook 01. 203. 204 Designing RESEARCH mixed methods in the Social & Behavior Sciences (Tashakk:ori & Teddl e, 2003). was publ shed, providing the f rst comprehensive overview of this strategy of inquiry. Now several journals emphasize mixed methods RESEARCH . such as the Joumal 01 mixed methods Beseardi; Quality and Quantity. and Field methods . while numerous others activelyencourage this form of inquiry ( [ournal 01 Social RESEARCH Methodology. qualitative Health RESEARCH . Annals 01. Family Medicine). Numerous published RESEARCH studies have incorporated mixed methods RESEARCH in the social and human sciences in diverse fields such as occupational therapy (Lysack & Kreft ng, 1994). interpersonal com- munication (Boneva, Kraut, & Frohl ch, 2001).]

7 AIDS prevention (Ianz et 1996), dementia caregiving (Weitzman & Levkoff. 2000). mental health (Rogers, Day. Randall. & Bentall, 2003). and in m ddle-school science (Houtz, 1995). New books arrive each year solely devoted to mixed methods RESEARCH (Bryman, 2006; Creswell & Plano Clark, 2007; Greene, 2007; Plano Clark &. Creswell, 2008; Tashakk:ori & Teddlie, 1998). A checklist of questions for designing a mixed methods study appears in Table These components call for advancing the nature of mixed methods RESEARCH and the type of strategy being proposed for the study. They also include the need for a visual model of this approach. the specific procedures of data collection and analysis. the researcher's roleo and the structure for presenting the fmal report.

8 Following the discussion of each of these components. an example of a procedures section from a mixed methods study is presented to show how to apply these ideas. THE NATURE OF mixed methods RESEARCH . Because mixed methods RESEARCH is relatively new in the social and human sciences as a distinct RESEARCH approach, it is useful to convey a basic de - nition and description of the approach in a pro pos al. This might include the following: Trace a brief history of its evolution. Several sources identify its inception in psychology and in the multitrait-multimethod matrix of Campbell and Fiske (1959) to interest in converging or triangulating d f- ferent quantitative and qualitative data sources (j ck, 1979) and on to the developmeut of a distinct methodology of inquiry (see Creswell & Plano Clark, 2007; Tashakkori & Teddlie.)

9 1998). Define mixed methods RESEARCH by incorporating the definition in Chapter 1 that focuses on combining both quantitative and qualitative RESEARCH and methods in a RESEARCH study (see a more expanded view of defining mixed methods RESEARCH in [ohnson, Onwuegbuzie. & Turner, 2007). Highlight the reasons why researchers employ a mixed methods DESIGN ( to broaden understanding by incorporating both qualitative mixed methods Procedures 205. ;..i{::;r; : ~\-:/f-:'".:i~{='~ ~}!'! ~"i;'" -::~.;f,\~..l'/."

Does the reader have a sense for the potential use of a mixed methods DESIGN ? Are the criterio identified for choosing a mixed methods strategy? Isthe strategy identified and are its criterio for selection given? Isa visual model presented that illustratesthe RESEARCH strategy? Isthe proper notation used in presenting the visual model? Are procedures of data collection and analysis mentioned as they relate to the model? Are the sampling strategies for both quantitative and qualitative data collection mentioned? Do they relate to the strategy? Are specific data analysis procedures indicated?
