Mixed Methods Design and Analysis

Description:

This one-day online workshop will introduce participants to mixed methods research and help them structure qualitative and quantitative methods' design, analysis, and integration within a single study.

The course covers: 

• Common mixed methods designs will be presented and explored, followed by analysis, approaches to integrating data and discussion of the application of the sessional learning to your own developing study design.

• Content will be presented in sessions which include lecture, interactivity and peer discussion.

• Embedded within the workshop are applied learning sessions, where participants apply their learning to their own planned or in-progress mixed methods work (where applicable).

• Time to work independently and in groups on delegates’ own Mixed Methods work will be facilitated by the workshop lead.

• Participants will come away from the workshop with a clearer understanding of the purposes and potential of mixed methods research, as well as commonly used mixed methods designs and analysis procedures, focusing on how these approaches can aid the design of participants' own work.

By the end of the course participants will: 

• Participants will come away from the workshop with a clearer understanding of the purposes and potential of mixed methods research, as well as commonly used mixed methods designs and analysis procedures.

• Participants will be able to consider, plan and design a mixed methods study using the knowledge and skills learned at the workshop.  

Course format  
This full-day course will be delivered online on the 22nd of September 2025 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
