TLDR
This article examined the perceived value of mixed methods research for graduate students and found that graduate students view mixed methods passages as having rigorous methods, a newer history, and providing a deeper meaning of the phenomenon.Abstract:
The purpose of this explanatory mixed methods study was to examine the perceived value of mixed methods research for graduate students. The quantitative phase was an experiment examining the effect of a passage’s methodology on students’ perceived value. Results indicated students scored the mixed methods passage as more valuable than those who scored the quantitative or qualitative passage. The qualitative phase involved focus groups to better understand students’ perceptions of the perceived value of mixed methods. Findings suggested graduate students view mixed methods passages as having rigorous methods, a newer history, and providing a deeper meaning of the phenomenon. This study adds to the literature base by revealing what value graduate students assign to quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research.read more

What are mixed methods
TL;DR: Mixed methods combine the counterfactual analysis from a RCT with factual analysis using quantitative and qualitative data to analyze the causal chain this paper, where the factual analysis will address such issues as the quality of implementation, targeting, barriers to participation or adoption by intended beneficiaries.

The Journal of Mixed Methods Research Starts a New Decade: The Mixed Methods Research Integration Trilogy and Its Dimensions:
TL;DR: The Journal of Mixed Methods Research as mentioned in this paper contains three methodological/theoretical discussions, three empirical papers, and two media reviews, including the realist survey, which is designed to expand the reach of the realistic interview to revise and refine generally accepted theories and at the same time enhance the generalizability of its outcomes through the use of quantitative survey data.

Two Methodological Approaches to the Integration of Mixed Methods and Case Study Designs: A Systematic Review:
TL;DR: This work identifies and characterize “mixed methods–case study designs” as mixed methods studies with a nested case study and “case study–m mixed methods designs’ as case studies with nested mixed methods.

A Strategy to Identify Critical Appraisal Criteria for Primary Mixed-Method Studies
Joanna E. M. Sale,Kevin Brazil +1 more
TL;DR: Criteria for critically appraising quantitative and qualitative studies in the health literature were generated from a review of the literature and recommend that these criteria be applied to a sample of mixed-method studies which are judged to be exemplary.

An exploration of the epistemological intricacies of using qualitative data to develop a quantitative measure of user views of health care.
Joanne Coyle,Brian Williams +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that researchers could be assisted in their attempts to develop conceptually sound quantitative measures by extending the concept of reflexivity (used in qualitative research) to the quantitative components of mixed method studies.
Views on the combination of quantitative and qualitative research approaches
TL;DR: In this article, the authors address the possibility of combining quantitative and qualitative research approaches and identify the paradigms underlying these approaches, and conclude that a combination of the two approaches builds on the strengths of both.

Survey of Attitudes Toward Statistics: Factor Structure Invariance by Gender and by Administration Time
TL;DR: This article used the Survey of Attitudes Toward Statistics (SATS) both at the beginning and at the end of the semester to assess changes in mean attitudes across introductory statistics courses, the attitude instruments used should be invariant by administration time.

Toward Holism: The Significance of Methodological Pluralism
Janice M. Morse,Seung Eun Chung +1 more
TL;DR: The authors argue that used alone, qualitative methods are not holistic, but actively provide segmented perspective on a research problem, and they illustrate this concern using three types of data: qualitative data, quantitative data, and experimental data.
