I am having a hard time with my dissertation pre-proposal (super long story, but I have no help). If I use the Mixed Method, will my research design will be both phenomenological and descriptive (qualitative design and quantitative design)? I am beyond stressed; my brain is malfunctioning.
You're most correct Cynthia Ann Brown that would be the classic definition of Mixed Methods research design. Typically it'd be:
QUAL > QUAN
QUAN > QUAL
QUAL > quan
quan > QUAL
* The above denote two cycles / phases / waves of typical Mixed Methods studies.
Thank you so much. I have been under so much stress lately, and I am no longer receiving help from my professor. I needed to make sure I wasn't going crazy and going down the wrong path.
If you want to read more about mixed methods, I found this book to be very helpful: https://www.oxfordhandbooks.com/view/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199933624.001.0001/oxfordhb-9780199933624
