MM4 - Assembling Mixed Methods involving surveys and interviews - By assembling we mean putting together different components of a mixed methods study, including how qual(itative) and quant(itative) components combine, how data collected is "mixed" across qual and quant component,s and how results are combined. Other workshops detail data collection particular qual and quant methods. This workshop presents several Mixed Methods designs suitable for mixing survey and interview data. Typically design involves a consideration of: purpose (e.g., exploratory or explanatory), timing (e.g., concurrent or sequential), emphasis (e.g., qual or quant driven) and mixing (e.g., triangulating results). Other aspects particularly relevant to surveys & interviews are: timing of phases (e.g., surveys before interviews or vice-versa) and integration (e.g., survey outcomes inform the interview questions and sample).
We present several examples of Mixed Methods studies in different fields including the Social and Natural Sciences, Health, and Education. We show that assembling a Mixed Methods study may be pre-specified, or may be developed in an iterative fashion.
Format: This is a Question and Answer session only. On registration you will be sent a link to view the recorded session, which we assume you will watch prior to participation in this Q&A. You can check your basic understanding by doing the quick quiz, which will be sent to you approximately 1 week prior to the session.
Intended audience: Advanced Beginners, who are interested in a variety of ways that surveys and interviews can be assembled in a single MM project. It provides a basis for more complex methods (MM6 Integrative) as well as providing concrete examples of the general principles of designing (MM2 Design) or writing-up (MM7 Writing).
