operationalize mixed method research to answer marriage of both qualitative and
quantitative research challenges.
This workshop trains participants on fundamental strategies of mixed method
research related to planning and execution.
Participants will also learn how to combine potentials of SPSS and NVivo software
for quantitative and qualitative analysis.
