Key Components of the Three Research Paradigms

Mixed Methods

Generalizable findings

In-depth context

Qualitative

Quantitative

Theory testing

Qualitative

1. Epistemology: Interpretivist- Researchers state epistemological stance 2. Uses qualitative data and open-ended questions. 3. Methods include observations, interviews, historical analysis, images, video, audio 4. Analysis is coding and thematic analysis 5. Emphasizes credibility of data 6. Provides detailed and contextualized data insights and transferability 7. Descriptive, explanatory, inductive, interaction, motivation, process

Quantitative

1. Epistemology: Positivists and post-positivists 2. Uses quantitative data and closed-ended questions. 3. Methods include the use of surveys, Likert scales, experiments 4. Analysis requires the use of statistical applications 5. Emphasizes validity of data 6. Provides generalizability (external validity) 7. Comparative, deductive, associational, causal, predictive

Mixed Methods

1. Epistemology: Pragmatists 2. Uses a mix of both qualitative and quantitative data 3. Methods include embedded, convergent parallel, and sequential design 4. Analysis may require the use of statistical applications 5. Emphasizes inference quality with two aspects: design quality and interpretative rigor 6. Provides inference transferability 7. Validation and triangulation convergence questions, contextual questions, deductive and inductive
