  1. Group GG AsmahKarim 11M8140 Jenny Tan Feng Ling 11M8134 NorulFaizahHjAwgJahri 11M8136 RasidahHjMohamad 11M8139 Tan Soon Leong 11M8073 EE-5101-F Issues with Mixed Methods Research

  2. Content Issues: • Integration of paradigm • Purpose • Method of data collection • Data Analysis • Validity/Legitimation • Practicality • Reporting • Audience Research Articles

  3. Integration of Paradigm Creswell, 1994

  4. Purpose • Often the purpose is not made clear. • Purpose necessitating mixed methods: • Corroboration • Complimentarity • Development • Expansion • Initiation (Bazeley, 2002)

  5. Method - Sampling

  6. Method - Triangulation • Initial conception • To conduct parallel studies using different methods to achieve the same purpose. • To provide corroborating evidence for the conclusion drawn. • Technique of validation • Used loosely as a synonym

  7. Data Analysis – Quantitizing data • Meaning becomes fixed and single-dimensional. • Counts and proportions assume a level of scaling. • Potential disjucture between 0 and 1 in a continuous scale.

  8. Data Analysis – Quantitizing data • Data from qualitative coding will be nominal or ordinal rather than interval • Distribution may be unknown and normality cannot be assumed. • Ignores the meaning of missing data/outliers.

  9. Validity / Legitimation • Sample integration legitimation • Making statistical generalization • Meta-inference quality • Population transferability

  10. Practicality • Time and costly • Knowledge of the multiple methods • Their assumptions • Analysis procedures • Tools • Ability to understand and interpret results • Disciplinary training • methodological prejudice

  11. Reporting • Like writing qualitative research • Unlikely to follow traditional format • How best to present ideas and evidence? • The degree to which quantitative and qualitative components can or should be integrated. • A report which is disjointed and potentially repetitive. • Better to progressively unveil relevant evidence towards concluding, than to organize on the basis of method used.

  12. Audience • Readers may be unfamiliar with either method. • The extent to which the consumers value the meta-inferences.
