The Mixed Methods Research Workbook: 58 Templates for Mixed Methods Design, Integration, and Dissertation-Ready Joint Displays
You know your study needs both numbers and narratives. But nobody told you how to actually integrate them.
Every mixed methods textbook explains what a convergent design is. None of them gives you the blank template that forces you to plan your integration before you collect data, build a joint display that makes your integration visible, or produce the legitimation evidence your committee will ask for.
That gap - between understanding mixed methods in theory and executing one in practice - is where dissertations stall, committees lose confidence, and students lose months.
This workbook closes that gap. Permanently.
The Mixed Methods Research Workbook is the first fill-in, template-driven system that walks you from design selection through integration planning, joint display construction, and a complete dissertation write-up - producing every document your committee will evaluate as you work through the templates.
What's inside:
58 fill-in templates covering every stage from paradigm positioning through defence preparation - each with a fully worked example AND a blank version for your study
A complete worked example - the Riverdale Community Health Telehealth Study - maintained across all 12 chapters as a convergent design, then reconfigured as exploratory sequential, embedded, multiphase, and transformative variants so you can see how each design handles the same research problem
Design selection tools - a Decision Tree, a Design Comparison Matrix, a "Is This Really Mixed Methods?" Self-Audit, and a Justification Statement Builder that produces a committee-ready rationale
Integration planning templates - a Strategy Selector, a Checkpoint Timeline, and strand planners with integration points built into every field - not bolted on after data collection
10 pre-formatted joint display types - Statistics-by-Themes, Case-by-Case, Pillar Integration, Sequential Building, Contradiction & Discordance, Data Transformation, and 4 more - each with a worked Riverdale example and a blank shell ready for your data
A 9-type legitimation checklist built on Onwuegbuzie & Johnson's framework - the mixed methods-specific quality criteria your committee expects but most students don't know exist
Separate quality checklists for your quantitative strand (validity), qualitative strand (trustworthiness), AND the integration itself (legitimation) - because mixed methods quality operates at three levels, not one
Notation and procedural diagram builders using Morse's QUAL/QUAN notation system - producing publication-ready visual diagrams for your methodology chapter
A complete proposal chapter outline with Riverdale content pre-populated - showing you exactly what a methodology chapter, findings chapter, and discussion chapter look like in a mixed methods dissertation
A 20-question defence preparation tool with model responses - the questions mixed methods committee members actually ask, with specific, substantive answers drawn from the Riverdale study
Who this workbook is for:
- Doctoral students designing a convergent, explanatory sequential, exploratory sequential, embedded, multiphase, or transformative study - Master's students conducting mixed methods research for the first time - Researchers who have collected both qualitative and quantitative data but don't know how to integrate them - Faculty looking for a structured teaching resource for mixed methods courses - Students whose committees have asked "Where is your integration?" or "What are your meta-inferences?"
