Mixed methods research is an innovative approach that combines both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies in a single study. This approach allows researchers to gain richer insights and a more inclusive understanding of complex research questions by merging numerical data with qualitative narratives. By integrating these two distinct types of research, mixed methods can enhance the validity of research findings and support a more nuanced interpretation of results. This tag encompasses discussions on the principles, methodologies, and applications of mixed methods across various fields, including social sciences, healthcare, and education.
