Qualitative research is a measurement and result expression of "lived experience" (example: participant interviews and their responses to interview questions). These are characterized by "themes" (example: participants expressed confidence would be a theme) 

Mixed method research combines these two approaches. This offers a richer description of numbers (qualitative), and provides data to participant feelings (qualitative). ]]> 2022-12-20 18:52:25 UTC https://padlet.com/alysonsweimar/od13nyoja7v2slie/wish/2426079415 alysonsweimar https://padlet.com/alysonsweimar/od13nyoja7v2slie/wish/2426081869 Based on the results of the QI -
