Mixed Methods 1 - Introducing Mixed Methods Foundations
This workshop helps researchers investigate the meanings and underlying "ologies' of Mixed Methods research, which adopts both qual(itative) and quant(itative) methods. In addition to methodology, when designing research, social scientists refer to ontology (what is being researched), axiology (the values influencing research), and epistemology (the approach and way that evidence is used).
