EDRE 7700 - Introduction to Mixed Methods Research in Education
This course provides an introduction of mixed methods research in social and educational sciences to graduate students who are already familiar with quantitative and qualitative research and students who may conduct mixed methods theses/dissertations. Mixed methods research is more than simply collecting both quantitative and qualitative data, and instead, it integrates quantitative and qualitative methods from the research-planning phase to the implementation phase. This course focuses on major characteristics of mixed methods and three basic designs, i.e., convergent parallel design, explanatory sequential design, and exploratory sequential design. It offers individuals a foundation for conducting mixed methods research.
