W11BQ If mixed method research combines strengths from qualitative and quantitative methods, wouldn't researchers put in the extra work surrounding this method, so that heir study may be stronger then it's separate parts. #mixedmethod #9496edresearch

W11BL Mixed method research allows researchers to combine two distinct research methods (qualitative and quantitative) to help create a stronger study. #mixedmethod #9496edresearch

W9/10BQ If researchers can claim to use one design type but really end up using another, why should we ever believe the methodology a study is purporting to use? #9496edresearch #qualresearch

W9/10BL The research design that you, as a researcher, choose is important because it shapes your decisions during your study. #9496edresearch #qualresearch

W5BQ What does it mean when a research article fails in one or more of the five key elements? Does simply show poor construction on the part of the researcher or bring into question the article as a whole? #9496edresearch #research_question

[Dylan MacDonell @MacdonellDylan]

W5BL: Proper research questions fulfill the five elements model (topic, research problem, justification, deficiency, audience), which intern allows the reader to become engaged with the article/research. #9496edresearch #research_question

W3/4BQ With both qualitative and quantitative research lacking in specific areas, and combined being the more appropriate answer, why don't most researchers choose the combined method? #9496edresearch #quantqual

[Dylan MacDonell @MacdonellDylan]

W3/4BL Reading the research is not enough, being able to evaluate its quality then judge both the strengths and shortcomings is paramount. #9496edresearch #quantqual
