Description
Return to your previously chosen research topic-problem identified (in attached documents below) and consider whether a mixed methods approach would be appropriate and why
To complete this Key Concept Exercise:
In approximately 350 words, explain why mixed methods might fit (or not) your research project.
In formulating your Key Concept Exercise, consider the following questions:
What are the strengths and weaknesses of your chosen method?
Critically analyse the reasons why you would proceed (or not) with the adoption of mixed methods
What are the barriers to data integration which you would expect at this stage of the research?
What are the potential limitations and problems associated with adopting a mixed methods approach for a relatively short research project – for example, a dissertation of 9 months’ duration?
