To fill this gap in literature, this convergent mixed methods study explores the effectiveness of using active learning approaches in teaching a mixed methods course. The qualitative data, including 10 individual interviews, 29 students’ reflections, and 26 teaching evaluation surveys, were used to examine students’ learning experience and outcomes. Students’ presentations (N = 29) and final papers (N = 29) were transformed into numbers as the quantitative data. The converged results indicated that students were actively engaged in learning and achieved the expected learning outcomes. This study makes valuable contributions to the mixed methods pedagogical culture by providing details and suggestions on how to use active learning approaches in teaching mixed methods.","PeriodicalId":47844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mixed Methods Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41551780","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}

Like all metaphors, triangulation provides some insights into the phenomena to which it ’ s applied, while ignoring or obscuring other insights (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980, 2003).

The problem is that Glaser, Strauss, and other early grounded theorists focused primarily on qualitative data analysis in their instructional texts. This early branding of GTM as qualitative in nature has led to a growing interest in what is often called Mixed Methods Grounded Theory Methodology (MM-GTM). However, while increasing numbers of researchers claim to have used MM-GTM over the past 10 years, Guetterman et al.’s (2019) meta-analysis of 61 MM-GTM studies find that few “draw upon all or even most of the major features of grounded theory” (p. 188).

This article provides an account of the nitty-gritty of messiness and its consequences during the process of mixed methods research. By applying the ‘craft attitude’ and a socio-ecological framework for mixed methods research to a mixed methods case study, I demonstrate how my embracing of research messiness through the craft attitude exemplifies the interconnectedness of the personal, interpersonal and social contexts. This article contributes to knowledge by proposing a new way to conceptualize mess in mixed methods research through the integration of the craft attitude within the socio-ecological framework for mixed methods research.","PeriodicalId":47844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mixed Methods Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2022-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43511197","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}

In the editorial, Poth et al. (2022) have collected discussions about mixed methods designs in a virtual special issue (VSI) based on selected articles published in JMMR. They included 13 readings, 10 empirical and methodological articles as well as three editorials that were published between 2008 and June, 2022. They conclude three points from analysis of this collection, a trend toward greater engagement with stakeholders in mixed methods research designs, a need for authors to be consistent and comprehensively use their design terminology throughout all sections of papers, and authentic or detailed reporting to facilitate the understanding of readers about the procedures employed. VSIs are prepared by chief or associate editors with purpose of identifying from previously articles published in JMMR perspectives on key contributions of the articles relative to the chosen theme (Fetters &Molina-Azorı́n, 2020). Previous VSIs have addressed timely topics of discussion in the field such as paradigms in mixed methods research (Molina-Azorin & Fetters, 2020), integration in mixed methods research (Guetterman et al., 2020), and quality in mixed methods research (Fàbregues et al., 2021). Additionally, Shannon-Baker (2022) examined publications from the field of education with a focus on designs, integration, and visual displays. VSI editorials are available open access under the collections link on the JMMR homepage. In the first article in this issue, Dion et al. (2022) with affiliations in health sciences have introduced Weight of Evidence as a transformative procedure to contextualize evidence in the understanding of relevant stakeholders.

However, no general consensus has emerged. The legitimation typology developed by Onwuegbuzie and Johnson (2006) is one promising approach that addresses quantitative, qualitative, and MMR elements. The aim of this intrinsic, exploratory case study is to explore the use of the legitimation typology in empirical MMR studies and through interviews with the developers, MMR scholars, and researchers who applied the legitimation typology to an empirical MMR study. We conducted a systematic methodological review using multiple databases and identified 49 empirical MMR studies that addressed the legitimation typology. Using a critical case sampling approach defined by participants’ unique experiences with the legitimation typology, semi-structured interviews were conducted with five authors of empirical MMR studies, a mixed methods researcher who has written about the typology, and one of the authors of the original legitimation typology to expand on ways the legitimation typology is used in practice. Four overarching themes were identified: (a) comprehensive approach to assessing quality, (b) researchers’ interpretation of legitimation types, (c) value of divergent findings, and (d) strategies for applying the legitimation typology. This case study adds to the MMR literature by clarifying the use of emic-etic and conversion legitimations and by proposing a new legitimation type: divergent findings legitimation. Hence, this study elucidates the application of one quality framework (i.e., legitimation) in MMR and provides recommendations to the field to further advance discussions on quality criteria and their implementation in mixed methods research.","PeriodicalId":47844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mixed Methods Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46834174","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}
