Types of mixing Reasons
1. Two types of research question. One fitting a quantitative approach and the
other qualitative.
2. The manner in which the research
questions are developed.
Preplanned (quantitative) versus
participatory/emergent (qualitative).
3. Two types of sampling procedure. Probability versus purposive.
4. Two types of data collection
procedures.
Surveys (quantitative) versus focus groups
(qualitative).
5. Two types of data analysis. Numerical versus textual (or visual).
