Advanced Mixed-Methods Reasoning and Analysis

Course Description

Students taking this research course build upon knowledge and skills acquired in RSCH 8200 Quantitative Reasoning and Analysis and RSCH 8300 - Qualitative Reasoning and Analysis. Students acquire more specialized knowledge and skills for designing mixed-methods research at the doctoral level. Students gain an understanding of the types of mixed-methods designs and how to select the most appropriate approach for the research question. Students emphasize integrating quantitative and qualitative elements into true mixed-methods studies, practicing data analysis, and integrating qualitative and quantitative data within a research write-up. Reliability and validity in mixed-methods approaches will be highlighted. Students will apply and synthesize their knowledge and skills by developing a true mixedmethods research plan that appropriately incorporates qualitative and quantitative elements.
