Mixed Methods

Creswell (2003) identifies 3 types of mixed methodologies:

Sequential procedures, in which the researcher seeks to elaborate on or expand the findings of one method with another method.

Concurrent procedures, in which the researcher converges quantitative and qualitative data at the same time in order to provide a comprehensive analysis of the research problem.

Traansformative procedures, in which the researcher uses a theoretical lens as an overarching perspective within a design that contains both quantitative and qualitative data.
