| Whakarāpopototanga: | In this podcast, Dr. Elizabeth Creamer, Professor Emerita of Educational Research at Virginia Tech and Co-Editor in Chief of Methods in Psychology with the Mixed Methods Section, discusses the research in her book Advancing Grounded Theory with Mixed Methods (2021).First, Dr. Creamer reveals her pragmatic nature, which led her to pursue mixed research methodology. She explains that funding for qualitative research methods is lacking and that researchers often feel that they should conceal or understate qualitative approaches to avoid criticism, particularly in quantitatively dominant disciplines.Dr. Creamer explains that using grounded theory with mixed methods is useful in incorporating theoretical frameworks, which is a standard of quality to develop and test theories. Occasionally, grounded theory can be used to help explain some perplexing findings in quantitative research that may otherwise go unsolved. She adds that grounded theorists have long been open to the idea that data can come from a wide and unlimited variety of sources, such as observations, interviews and documents; these data are then equated with mixed methods. However, grounded theory is often criticized for small and homogeneous sample sizes and the tendency to use the procedure, rather than to develop the theory. This prompts Dr. Creamer to discuss the potential pitfalls of various methodological approaches.Dr. Creamer also reveals that while writing her book, she became so interested in the use of visuals to advance analysis that she has begun work on another book on this subject area.The discussion ends with the advice that researchers should avoid deciding that qualitative and quantitative methods are entirely different and that there is a need to use either one or the other. Today, with 'the realities and complexities of the research that are going on now, no one can afford to specialize in just one thing', so researchers should not limit themselves in this way.This podcast series is brought to you by a collaborative partnership between SAGE Publishing and QSR International: https://www.qsrinternational.com. |
