Creswell (2010) has helped popularize a simple notational system for distinguishing different ways of mixing quantitative and qualitative methods. This system distinguishes the priority given to one method over the other and the sequence in which they are used in a research project. Give two examples of this system.
What will be an ideal response?
QUAL + QUAN: equal importance of the two approaches and their concurrent use. QUAL à quan: sequenced use, with qualitative methods given priority. QUAN(qual): qualitative methods embedded within a primarily quantitative project.
