Abstract

Mixed methods research can be defined as “research in which the investigator collects and analyzes data, integrates the findings, and draws inferences using both quantitative and qualitative approaches” (Tashakkori & Creswell, 2007, p. 4). Recently, scholars have made considerable progress in utilizing mixed methods research in educational settings. The presenters in this symposium will describe and discuss their use of mixed methods research to investigate learning and motivation in social and cultural educational contexts. They will present diverse cutting edge theoretical and methodological perspectives related to learning and motivation, that were developed from the use of mixed methods in educational settings.
