(Pre-registration required)

Fully Integrated Mixed Methods Research

Lecturer(s): Dr. Elizabeth G. Creamer（School of Education, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University）

Expected level of participants: Entry・Beginners ・Intermediate・Advanced

Style: Exercise-based (typical workshop)・ Lecture・Participatory・Consultation (participants can bring their own projects/issues)

Language: English

Maximum number: 45

Aims/Learning objective: By the close of the workshop participants will have a better idea of the many possible ways there are to integrate qualitative and quantitative approaches. Additional learning outcomes include the ability to

1．Distinguish between multi-methods and mixed methods.

2．Identify major rationales for integrating qualitative and quantitative approaches.

3．Distinguish between a basic and advanced mixed methods design.

4．Envision formative and summative ways to use a joint display.

5．Appreciate the potential contribution of discontinuities between qualitative findings and quantitative results.

6．Identify several different ways to quantify qualitative data, including through scale coding and coding an image.

7．Identify several different ways to qualify quantitative results.

8．Consider several different ways to highlight integration during reporting. 

Summary of the contents:

The workshop includes several hands-on activities involving coding and quantification.

Messages for the participants:

Participants will find it helpful to get an introduction to a fully integrated approach by reading:

A Primer About Mixed Methods Approaches for Research in an Educational Context" available at https://www.ijlter.org/index.php/ijlter/article/view/700

POST-02: Post-Conference Workshops 2

Monday Sep.16, 14:00-17:00(Rm.387)

(Pre-registration required)

Designing Mixed Methods Research Under Complex Conditions

Lecturer(s): Cheryl Poth (University of Alberta)

Expected level of participants: Entry・Beginners・Intermediate・Advanced

Style: Exercise-based (typical workshop)・ Lecture・Participatory・Consultation (participants can bring their own projects/issues)

Language: English

Maximum number: 20

Aims/Learning objective: We will consider three key questions (also serve as learning objectives):

1.    What distinguishes mixed methods research under conditions of complexity

2.    How can researchers avoid common dilemmas when designing mixed methods studies under

complex conditions?

3.    What recent understandings of adaptive practices can be incorporated into a complexity- sensitive approach to designing mixed methods research?

Summary of the contents:

Are you interested in designing mixed methods research under complex conditions but are unsure of where to start? If so then this workshop is for you! Mixed methods research requires specialized skills that bridge and extend existing qualitative and quantitative research skills and complex conditions require rethinking some of our traditional practices. Following an introduction of the adaptive practices comprising a complexity-sensitive approach, opportunities for individual reflections, small working group activities, and large group discussions will be embedded and encouraged.

Messages for the participants:

Either of the following are recommended as pre-workshop readings (Please note the first is open-access to all at: http://ijmra.org/inaugural-special-issue/ ):

POST-03: Post-Conference Workshops 3

Monday Sep.16, 14:00-17:00(Rm.388)

(Pre-registration required) 

Using joint displays for designing, analyzing and presenting mixed methods research

Lecturer(s): Michael D. Fetters (University of Michigan)

Expected level of participants: Entry・Beginners ・Intermediate・Advanced

Style: Brief lecture - participatory with consultations on participants’ own projects.  

Language: English with Japanese language support

Maximum number: 30.

Aims/Learning objective: Participants who desire to work on their own projects should have access to their original data. Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be able to:

1．Describe three types of joint displays for mixed methods project planning, analysis, and presentation of findings.

2．Apply the introduced fundamentals of mixed methods joint display development by completing worksheets for each type of joint display, and for those with their own projects, using their own projects as the basis for their worksheets.

3．Develop draft mixed methods joint displays suitable for use in actual research planning, analysis and presentation of mixed methods findings.

Summary of the contents:

Participants who do not have their own project will use a designated mixed methods project for the workshop.

Messages for the participants:

POST-05: Post-Conference Workshops 5

 Monday Sep.16, 14:00-17:00(Rm.378)

(Pre-registration required) 

Advice for Faculty: Mentoring Students Conducting Mixed Methods Research

 

Lecturer(s):

• John W. Creswell, PhD (University of Michigan)
• Mariko Hirose, PhD (Kwansei Gakuin University)

Expected level of participants: Entry・ Beginners・Intermediate・Advanced 

Style: Exercise-based (typical workshop), Lecture, Exercise-Based, and Participatory

Consultation (participants can bring their own projects/issues): YES, some experience in mentoring students in mixed methods would be ideal.

Language: English with Japanese language support

Maximum number: 40

Aims/Learning objective: The intended participants are faculty in universities/colleges and doctorate students who want to or are presenting mentoring students on mixed methods projects. 

Learning objective: When the workshop finishes, the faculty who are mentoring students will: 

1．Understand the basic characteristics of mixed methods research (data mining, integration, designs)

2. Consider their own self-development as a mentor for students conducting mixed methods research, and have a number of strategies they can use to effectively mentor students.     

Summary of the contents:

Topics to be addressed will consist of suggestions for working with students on mixed methods projects.  These topics will include:  advice for the self-development of the faculty member as a mixed methods methodologist (understanding the core concepts of insight, integration, and designs, workshops available for training), essential books to read); and faculty mentoring strategies (the student skills needed, models and templates of good mixed methods research, and the importance of a personal student investment by working on a project).  A worksheet will be provided that enables the participant to write down their approaches and share them with the entire group.

Messages for the participants:

We hope that you will share our experiences with us, experiences that have both been positive and encouraging as well as challenging.

Brief biography:John W. Creswell, PhD, who has mentored hundreds of graduate students in mixed methods in the social and health sciences during his 45-year career at two major universities in the US. It will also be co-presented by Mariko Hirose, PhD, faculty at Kwansei Gakuin University.
