Which ONE of the following statements about mixed methods research is TRUE?
c) This involves the collection, analysis and integration of both quantitative and qualitative data in
different phases of a study. The data need to be “mixed” in some way so that, they form a more
complete picture of the problem than they do standing alone.
Question 02
Mixed methods research organises the research procedures into specific research designs; and
frames them within theory and philosophy. This requires a high level of methodological expertise to
guide the study through its different stages and ensure the application of the most appropriate
procedures at each point. The following does NOT apply to the values that mixed methods research
applies to research.
b) A QUAL ➝ quan study is usually followed, indicating a qualitatively driven sequential study where
qualitative data collection is followed by quantitative data collection with unequal priority.
Question 03
According to the typology or classification by Creswell and Plano Clark (2018) there are at least
three key types of mixed methods designs. The following does NOT apply to the (i) convergent
design?
b) This is a two-phase mixed methods design. The design starts with the collection and analysis of
quantitative data followed by the collection and analysis of qualitative data. The overall purpose of
this design is that the qualitative data help explain or build upon initial quantitative results from the
study’s first phase.
Question 04
Which ONE of the following statements about evaluation research is INCORRECT?
a) In its purest sense, there is no difference between intervention research and most types of
evaluation research.
Question 05
The manager of a poverty-reduction programme that involves life-skills and mentoring for at-risk
youth in Gauteng has expressed the need for research that will convince potential donors of the
value of the programme. They have performed surveys on alumni of the programme over the past 5
years and the findings indicate that most programme alumni are able to find employment. Finding
employment is a key aim of the programme. However, donors require solid and reputable research
on this matter. See Figure 21.1: Integrated process model for evaluation research in Chapter 21.
Which ONE of the following phases of evaluation is the MOST applicable to this evaluation need?
d) The end phase comprises decisions about the programme’s effectiveness (impact and outcome
evaluation) and efficiency (efficiency assessments).
