Mixed methods research (MMR) is suitable for studying research problems that cannot be adequately investigated through qualitative and quantitative methods alone. Nevertheless, the MMR literature offers a very limited discussion about “research problems.” To address this gap, this paper uses Elliott’s conceptual framework to offer guidance on how to identify and formulate research problems in MMR and understand their nature. This article contributes to the field of MMR by reframing the concept of research problems in this type of research and offering a conceptual and methodological approach to describing and characterizing research problems for investigation in social and cultural contexts.

Structural equation modeling and autoethnography have rarely been integrated in scientific studies. The example employs a convergent intensive longitudinal data collection strategy and an explanatory bidirectional framework for data merging analysis to examine one instructor’s practices of incorporating social-emotional learning (SEL) and mindfulness to reduce burnout. By examining results from the dynamic p-technique (a special case of structural equation modeling) and reflexive journaling resulting in autoethnography, a clearer picture of one faculty member’s lived experience emerged. The study concretely demonstrates how structural equation modeling and autoethnography methods can create an integrated, longitudinal picture of reality.

Integration is a hallmark of mixed methods research and is constantly evolving. Joint displays have emerged as an effective method of integration at the analysis and interpretation level, facilitating visual comparison of quantitative and qualitative findings to present inferences greater than the quantitative and qualitative findings alone. Although literature reviews and concept analyses frequently precede mixed methods investigations, these are not commonly included in the integration process. To advance mixed methods research, we present a novel method of integrating data sources including rigorous literature reviews using joint display, that builds on the concept of creating a sum that is greater than quantitative and qualitative findings alone, with examples from two research studies.

Mixed-methods research (MMR) can serve to bridge fields of study disconnected by differences in content, epistemologies, and methods. Such bridging can benefit fields that are interconnected in practice but generally separated in research, such as educational research with its silos of “general” and “special” education in addition to various topic area foci. We explored the extent to which MMR has bridged education research silos by examining the prevalence of MMR studying a single topic (disability) across three subfields: general education, special education, and disability studies in education. We found differences in the prevalence of MMR between subfields and journals within subfields. We discuss patterns in ways MMR may both reflect silos and be employed to bridge long-standing divides.

The Journal of Mixed Methods Research ( JMMR ) has published several special issues on triangulation (Mertens & Hesse-Biber, 2012), marginalized populations (Sorde-Marti & Mertens, 2014), migration (Bergman, 2018), and the COVID-19 pandemic (Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2021b). The JMMR encourages future special issues that focus on relevant theoretical and methodological topics and advancements in the fi eld of mixed methods research, adding value and contributing to the mixed methods literature (Molina-Azorin & Fetters, 2018). In addition, JMMR has also published virtual special issues as online-only collections of previously published JMMR articles with contributions relative to a chosen theme (Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2020): paradigms (Molina-Azorin & Fetters, 2020), integration (Guetterman et al., 2020), quality (F`abregues et al., 2021), mixed methods research in education (Shannon-Baker, 2022), designs (Poth et al., 2022), and collaborative practices in mixed methods research (Archibald, 2023)

Theory-focused joint displays represent an innovative approach to data and results integration with potential to build understanding of complex constructs, including factors that influence change over time. However, the extant literature offers few examples for doing so, particularly in convergent research designs. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to provide a replicable framework for developing and refining an emergent theoretical model in a convergent research design. Through an illustrative example of a study on preservice teachers’ growth in practice, we detail a seven-step process in which a theoretical model served as the guide and culminating purpose of the research. In addition to this primary contribution, we also explore the role of visuals in joint display analyses to support meta-inference generation.

In the explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, methods-level integration occurs between quantitative and qualitative phases. In typical use of this design, statistical findings alone may inform the qualitative phase. However, in studies that apply a participatory approach in the second phase, this can be a missed opportunity to incorporate participant perspectives. This Research Note presents the integration of quantitative and qualitative survey results from phase one of an explanatory sequential study using a joint display, which is then used to inform the development of qualitative data collection prompts. This strategy contributes to the field of mixed-methods research by detailing the process for undertaking building integration to inform an explanatory sequential study’s second participatory qualitative phase.

The present methodological discussion describes and reflects on the challenges with decisions made at the planning, implementation, and closure phases of a transformative mixed methods research study aimed at exploring the social connectedness of Burmese, Congolese, Iraqi, and Somali resettled refugees and their perceptions of well-being and belongingness. Although the field of mixed methods research calls for advancement in advocacy, participation, and innovation, little research provides clear guidance in this process. Therefore, this article contributes to the field by providing tangible recommendations to direct mixed methods researchers in their work with vulnerable, cross-cultural populations, promoting a transformative approach to scholarship with vulnerable populations that creates innovative research alongside the community, appropriately representing and empowering participant voices.
