Research Methods Deneme Sınavı Sorusu #982475

Which one of the following is not a possible problem for writing the report for mixed methods research?


Presenting findings of the study in an integrated manner

Balancing between quantitative and qualitative paradigm

Forecasting readers mixed methods research knowledge

Summarizing big quantitative and qualitative data

Being rejected by editors who prefer one research paradigm


Yanıt Açıklaması:

While writing the MMR report, the researchers can come across possible four problems. These problems can be explained as follows:

1. The researchers may not be able to balance between quantitative and qualitative paradigm;

2. The researchers may not be able to forecast the readers’ quantitative, qualitative and MMR knowledge;
3. The researchers may not be able to summarize big quantitative and qualitative data set in accordance with journal format; and

4. MMR studies may be rejected by the editors or referees, who adopt only one research paradigm.

Presenting the findings in an integrated manner is not a problem but a choice that the writer has to make. The process of writing the MMR report has similar stages to mono method research reports where you ground your study on a single research paradigm ( either entirely quantitative or entirely qualitative). The researchers firstly give the problem, purpose, importance, and method of the study. However, when it comes to writing findings, the researchers have two choices: presenting the two sets of findings and interpretations in separate sections or by fully integrating them in the same section. Then they end up the report by adding conclusion, discussion and suggestions.
