Course description

This two-day webinar is targeted at beginners who consider Mixed Methods approaches for their research or have recently set out to do so. The combination of qualitative and quantitative methods requires careful considerations: What data should I combine and how? How will I be able to integrate my results? Is this the right approach for me?

This online workshop aims at preparing researchers for the exciting and sometimes challenging journey of becoming a master of more than one method. You will learn what Mixed Methods is, what to use it for and what challenges to expect. In this, the two-day workshop will address both: The initial planning and data collecting, as well as the data analysis and integration of results. In this way, we will simulate the various steps of a Mixed Methods research project with interactive exercises on example data ranging from qualitative interviews to standardized surveys.
