This workshop provides participants with practical instruction on the topics of integrating qualitative and quantitative data, and the essential principles behind designing fundable mixed methods research. Specific topics include crafting mixed methods objectives and research questions, choosing appropriate sampling strategies, and selecting the most effective data collection methods (qualitative and quantitative). A significant amount of time is spent demonstrating the nuts and bolts of integrating qualitative and quantitative datasets, including diagramming points of interface. Although this workshop is primarily embedded in an applied context, the instructor will present some of the more common typologies and nomenclature used in the field. Course structure includes lecture, interactive discussion, and hands-on exercises.
This interactive online workshop will focus on semi-structured interviewing, a data collection method used in qualitative research. Topics covered will include basics of semi-structured interviews, development of interview questions and probes, interviewing skills, and considerations for conducting virtual interviews. Participants will have the opportunity to practice developing interview questions and using interviewing skills.
This event may be recorded. Materials such as slides or handouts will be shared with documented attendees only.
