A Generalized Linear Model for Cooperative Learning: Semantic Representations With an Exploratory Sequential Design

• In Event: Mixed Methods Research SIG Virtual Paper Session

Abstract

This study explored a mixed methods research design by analysis of a set of interview data. Saldana’s model was utilized to complete the opening coding and thematic coding. Three themes were recognized to support the cooperative learning models: Knowing by Undergone Events and Contexts, Implementation and Action, and Opinions and Perceptions, which consisted of a Cooperative Learning Model (CLM). The frequencies of the terms and phrases consisted of the evidence variables. A generalized linear model (GeLM) was utilized to examine the relationship between the three themes and the CLM. The GeLM analysis reported the relationships between the CeLM and three themes. This was a new practice to integrate Saldana’s qualitative data analysis and GeLM into one mixed methods design.
