Point of interface
Exploratory sequential design

• When to use
• To explore a phenomenon and to expand on
qualitative findings
• To test elements of an emergent theory resulting
form the qualitative research
• To generalize qualitative findings to different
samples in order to determine the distribution of a
phenomenon within a chosen population
• Develop and test a new instrument

• When to use
• To give voice to diverse theoretical
perspectives
• To better understand a phenomenon or process
that is changing as a result of being studied.
