State at least one reason for the use of each major type of mixed method.
What will be an ideal response?
a) Convergent Parallel Design: Aaron Kupchik (2010) provides an excellent example of triangulation in practice in his book, Homeroom Security. His methodology would be classified as a convergent parallel design because both quantitative and qualitative methods were implemented at the same time and the findings were integrated. The research question was primarily interested in how school security measures, particularly the presence of police officers, affect students.
b) Exploratory Sequential Design: Some mixed-methods designs begin with a qualitative method to explore a phenomenon and then proceed with a quantitative method for confirmatory purposes. This is referred to as an exploratory sequential design. This was the design used by Bachman (1992) when studying the social causes of homicide within contemporary American Indian communities
c) Embedded Design: Testa and colleagues (Testa, Livingston, & VanZile-Tamsen, 2011) supplemented their quantitative study of violence against women with a qualitative component because violence against women is “a complex, multifaceted phenomenon, occurring within a social context that is influenced by gender norms, interpersonal relationships, and sexual scripts” and “understanding of these experiences of violence is dependent on the subjective meaning for the woman and cannot easily be reduced to a checklist” (p. 237). This was an embedded—QUAN(qual)—design.
d) Transformative Design: *
e) Multiphase Design: *
