Hello dear researchers,
I am doing a mixed-methods longitudinal design study in which I have three rounds of data collection. I collect quantitative data in the first phase followed by qualitative data which the latter has nothing to do with the quantitative data and doesn't depend on it to be planned or designed. After that, I have another round for qualitative data only. For the last round, as the first one, I have a quantitative investigation followed by a qualitative one that is not related to the quantitative data!. I've got confused when I read Creswell research designs! is the design I used sequential or concurrent design?
Note: the aim of integrating the two methods is for complementarity and the actual integration of the two methods is at the point of interpretation.
Thanks in advance
