The example employs a convergent intensive longitudinal data collection strategy and an explanatory bidirectional framework for data merging analysis to examine one instructor’s practices of incorporating social-emotional learning (SEL) and mindfulness to reduce burnout. By examining results from the dynamic p-technique (a special case of structural equation modeling) and reflexive journaling resulting in autoethnography, a clearer picture of one faculty member’s lived experience emerged. The study concretely demonstrates how structural equation modeling and autoethnography methods can create an integrated, longitudinal picture of reality.","PeriodicalId":47844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mixed Methods Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46967280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To advance mixed methods research, we present a novel method of integrating data sources including rigorous literature reviews using joint display, that builds on the concept of creating a sum that is greater than quantitative and qualitative findings alone, with examples from two research studies.","PeriodicalId":47844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mixed Methods Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46403422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such bridging can benefit fields that are interconnected in practice but generally separated in research, such as educational research with its silos of “general” and “special” education in addition to various topic area foci. We explored the extent to which MMR has bridged education research silos by examining the prevalence of MMR studying a single topic (disability) across three subfields: general education, special education, and disability studies in education. We found differences in the prevalence of MMR between subfields and journals within subfields. We discuss patterns in ways MMR may both reflect silos and be employed to bridge long-standing divides.","PeriodicalId":47844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mixed Methods Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49446117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the extant literature offers few examples for doing so, particularly in convergent research designs. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to provide a replicable framework for developing and refining an emergent theoretical model in a convergent research design. Through an illustrative example of a study on preservice teachers’ growth in practice, we detail a seven-step process in which a theoretical model served as the guide and culminating purpose of the research. In addition to this primary contribution, we also explore the role of visuals in joint display analyses to support meta-inference generation.","PeriodicalId":47844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mixed Methods Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42518794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
