• In Event: 61.053 - The Utility of Visualization in Mixed-Methods Research

Abstract

Case-oriented merged analysis is one of the procedures used to conduct mixed methods data analysis. However, there is little current guidance to conduct this analysis within a mixed method case study to achieve the goal of describing and understanding cases. A case on professional development on Web 2.0 technologies for teachers of Spanish is used to exemplify a case-oriented merged analysis in a mixed methods research case study, illustrating a process that integrates selected quantitative outcome results with qualitative text data from multiple sources.
