RCR 704 Mixed Methods

This course covers the assumptions and mental models that inform different approaches to research and the ways in which qualitative and quantitative goals, questions, methods, analysis strategies, and presentation styles can be productively integrated in a mixed methods research approach. Students engage in critical analysis of empirical educational research to better understand the differences between quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods methodologies as well as the philosophical and theoretical foundations for conducting mixed methods research. Students develop their own research proposal and dissertation prospectus in an area of interest utilizing an integration of qualitative and quantitative approaches, methods, and data for a single study.
