Mixed Methods Study The comparison of the administrative procedures of five traditional and five non-traditional colleges of Education in religious studies. All institutions have to be accredited via a national agency and be part of interactive online courses in conjunction with computer-based technologies. This study will compare the differing forms of administrative procedures and their impact and manifestation on training, instructional support, additional compensation, teaching loads and the beneficial and negative influences

Mixed Methods Benefits and challenges of Qualitative, Quantitative and mixed methods approaches to research Benefits and Challenges of Qualitative, Quantitative and Mixed Methods Approach to Research In any type of research, it is possible to characterize a research's study methodology as qualitative, quantitative, or one that involves the two methods, in which case it becomes a mixed method approach. Moreover, the term research design is popular in research, but it takes varied

Mixed Methods Approaches Although some researchers may believe that only one method of research is valid when studying human behavior, in general it is more useful to view different research approaches as part of the varied 'instruments' in a researcher's toolbox, rather than denigrate one type of research at the expense of other kinds. Whether quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods approaches are selected determines on the nature of the research;

Mixed Method Qualitative, quantitative, mixed methodologies Quantitative, qualitative and mixed methodology research Quantitative methodologies tend to be data-driven in nature. The presumption of the correct 'way of knowing' in quantitative research is positivistic in nature. It is assumed there is an objective, concrete truth that can be learned through empirical observation and the careful construction of an experiment. Quantitative methods of research often use the scientific method or quasi-scientific methods of study

Quantitative research uses survey, and questionnaires to collect data. Through quantitative analysis, a researcher is able to correlate mass data to the research findings. Despite the benefits identified in both quantitative and qualitative research, the paper identifies some shortcomings in both research methods. To address these shortcomings, the paper proposes mixed methods that involve combining both quantitative and qualitative research. References Bryman, A. (1984). The Debate about Quantitative and Qualitative Research:

PTSD Resilience & Treatment In this section, two objectives are addressed: the methodology that has been used in this work is explained and secondly, the reasons for choosing this particular methodology are offered. To aid explanation of the premises, eight headings have been identified as under: Research philosophy; Time horizons and research type; Sample Description; Data Quality issues; and The eight headings will make it easier to understand the logic behind the study itself as
