EMBEDDED MIXED METHODS

nests one or more forms of data (quantitative or qualitative or both) within a
larger design (e.g., a narrative study, an ethnography, an experiment).
 02

TRANSFORMATIVE MIXED METHODS

incorporate
elements of the convergent, explanatory sequential, or exploratory sequential approaches within a
social justice framework to help a marginalized group.
 03

MULTIPHASE MIXED METHODS

researchers conduct several mixed methods projects, sometimes including mixed
methods convergent or sequential approaches, sometimes including only quantitative or qualitative
studies in a longitudinal study with a focus on a common objective for the multiple projects.
