Student A:
Providing constructive critique on the scope and significance of mixed methods designs
The mixed research design is effective for considering a qualitative and quantitative method.
This method could permit to conduct semi-structure interview with different persons as it
facilitates to have theoretical and statistical data (Johnson, et al., 2007).
Highlighting possible ethical issues and feasibility constraints with the collection of
mixed methods data
Under this, many issues have been confronted by the investigators as it could be associated
with the data access, and subsequently to time, resources, and research skills. The insecurity
of participant information could create ethical issues in the data collection.
Explaining the most important barriers to the integration of qualitative and
quantitative data
There are certain barriers that may face in the integration of both qualitative as well as
quantitative data such as sampling approaches as well as data access and collection, and lack
of researcher’s skills (Small, 2011).
Student B:
Providing constructive critique on the scope and significance of mixed methods designs
The mixed method offers an opportunity to use open-ended and focused group method and
collect the data. It could lead to having the benefits of both qualitative and quantitative
method at the same time that increase the quality of study outcome (Collis & Hussey, 2013).
Highlighting possible ethical issues and feasibility constraints with the collection of
mixed methods data
The mixed method could require higher security of data but a lack of knowledge towards the
data set could create the feasibility issue in the study. In the study, the researcher needed to
