Course content: 

• Common mixed methods designs will be presented and explored, followed by analysis, approaches to integrating data and discussion of the application of the sessional learning to your own developing study design.
• Content will be presented in sessions which include lecture, interactivity and peer discussion.
• Embedded within the workshop will be applied learning sessions, where participants apply their learning to their own planned or in-progress mixed methods work (where applicable).
• Time to work independently and in groups on delegates’ own Mixed Methods work will be facilitated by the workshop lead.

By the end of the course participants will: 

• Come away from the workshop with a clearer understanding of the purposes and potential of mixed methods research, as well as commonly used mixed methods designs and analysis procedures.
• Be able to consider, plan and design a mixed methods study using the knowledge and skills learned at the workshop.
