The Practical Utility of Mixed Methods: An Empirical Study Journal of Mixed Methods Research (IF 5.746) Pub Date : 2022-02-27 Peter Dahler-Larsen
While methodologists often assert that a mixed methods approach has greater practical utility than a monomethod approach used in a similar setting, empirical data have been lacking. To examine this assertion, we studied the practical utility of workplace assessments in 1801 public organizations in Denmark, of which 540 chose mixed methods. We measure utility in terms of action taken as well as perceived

Using Mixed Methods to Explore Variations in Impact Within RCTs: The Case of Project COMPASS Journal of Mixed Methods Research (IF 5.746) Pub Date : 2021-08-03 Julie A. Edmunds, Dora Gicheva, Beth Thrift, Marie Hull
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in education are common as the design allows for an unbiased estimate of the overall impact of a program. As more RCTs are completed, researchers are also noting that an overall average impact may mask substantial variation across sites or groups of individuals. Mixed methods can provide insight and help in unpacking some of the reasons for these variations in impact

Mixed Methods Research and Quantum Theory: Q Methodology as an Exemplar for Complementarity Journal of Mixed Methods Research (IF 5.746) Pub Date : 2021-05-31 Susan Ramlo
In 1989, Jennifer Greene and colleagues introduced the idea of complementarity in mixed methods research (MMR) without referencing the parallels within physics. Complementarity in physics represents the idea that two contrasted theories are necessary to explain a set of phenomena, such as the wave–particle duality. Few MMR studies provide clear examples of complementarity, and some have questioned
