The relationship between literacy and mathematics is poorly understood. Existing theoretical frameworks, such as disciplinary literacy and mathematical discourse, do not carefully account for the uniqueness and ubiquity of symbolic mathematics in curriculum. Symbolic mathematics, the writing system of mathematics, is so unique that its symbols and...
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 par...

Mixed methods research that combines qualitative and quantitative approaches is an emergent method that is achieving increasing acceptance and use across disciplines. Despite the importance of funding to the adoption of a new research approach, there is no clear understanding of U.S. funding agencies’ support for mixed methods. This study examines...
A central issue for mixed methods research is for researchers to effectively integrate (or mix) the quantitative and qualitative data in their studies. Despite extensive methodological discussions about integration, researchers using mixed methods approaches struggle with translating these discussions into practice and often make inadequate use of...
This study provides unique perspectives of family leisure activities by developing a grounded-theory model of influences on family fun based on qualitative data from 368 low-income rural women with young children from fourteen states. Mothers were asked an open-ended question about what their families do for fun, allowing them to define family fun....
Women continue to be underrepresented in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). One factor contributing to this underrepresentation is the graduate school experience. Graduate programs in STEM fields are constructed around assumptions that ignore the reality of women's lives; however, emerging opportunities may lead...
Recently several authors have criticized mixed methods research because it relegates qualitative research to secondary or auxiliary status, it expresses this status through experimental trials that privilege quantitative research, and it fails to employ critical, interpretive approaches to qualitative research. This paper is a response to this posi...

... Studies that describe intervention development typically adopt qualitative methods [19,20]. Integrating quantitative and qualitative data can assist with developing comprehensive and nuanced understandings of feasibility [21]. The intervention delivered in this study was developed following the French et al. model [22]. ...
... Semi-structured interviews were conducted with first-to-third teachers from Belgium, China, and Italy to explore TSR's cultural conceptualization and manifestation in teaching practices. The semi-structured interview serves as a valuable narrative method designed to evaluate teachers' implicit mental representations of dyadic TSR (Koenen et al., 2019;Kennedy et al., 2022). By leveraging narrative data, this study can illuminate the unconscious cognitive processes at play among teachers (Maier et al., 2004) and provide a deeper understanding of how TSR is manifested and imbued with cultural significance. ...
... This strategy involves training community members, who may themselves be vaccine recipients, to address specific concerns in priority populations (e.g., adolescents). Previous work indicated that racially marginalized groups may prefer community/religious leaders or friends/family over health professionals as a source of health information about COVID-19 and other vaccines [6,7]. These community vaccine ambassadors serve as an intermediary between health systems and the larger community and address local barriers to vaccination [8]. ...
... Pour atteindre les objectifs de recherche, une stratégie de triangulation a été suivi (Caillaud & Flick, 2016). Cette stratégie vise à renforcer la validité des données recueillies par la mise en perspective de résultats convergents ou au contraire, dissonants (Plano Clark et al., 2020). Dans cette étude, trois outils méthodologiques ont été utilisés pour appréhender les RS des élèves : questionnaires, focus groups et ateliers participatifs. ...
... Following methodological guidance for the design of longitudinal mixed methods studies [34], and the primacy of the quantitative data in our concurrent nested design, we first considered the sampling requirements for the quantitative aim, targeting the involvement of 20 youth in both the RILS and non-RILS groups. We then considered the sample size for the qualitative aim, which pertained to RILS youth only (non-RILS youth were not interviewed). ...
... For example, several studies with Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino parents reported that these immigrant parents find it challenging to raise children in a context with limited ethnic resources. They also expressed the difficulty to maintain their cultural way of parenting and children's attachment to the heritage culture (Endo, 2013;Garcia & de Guzman, 2017;Wang et al., 2021). It is worth investigating how immigrant parent view and address these contextual challenges. ...
... Other documents were found from 110 sources not presented, mostly with one or two papers for each source. ProQuest was the database providing the most documents related to sociopetal and sociofugal spaces, counting 45 papers, which is in line with other research reporting that ProQuest was the largest source of articles for review papers due to its international scope, comprehensive nature, and wide accessibility (Toraman et al., 2020;Mamikutty et al., 2021). ...
... 24 The combined use of cannabis and tobacco in blunt form is a major factor in the high prevalence of cigar use among adolescents, 25 especially among African American youth. [26][27][28] Blunts are particularly attractive to adolescents and emerging adults who use cannabis as the cigars used for blunts are inexpensive and widely available, specific brands have shell perforations and other design elements making them ideal for blunt rolling, blunts are also often used publicly by celebrities, and blunt smoking is often seen as a social activity. [29][30][31][32][33][34] As the cannabis industry has expanded, new products similar in design and function to ecigarettes have become broadly available and use among this population is increasing. ...
... As indicated by Toraman and Plano Clark (2020 ), mixed method research is the collection and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data within one single study or a series of studies. The underlying assumption is that the combination of quantitative and qualitative data will yield a better understanding of the investigated problem ( Creswell & Plano Clark, 2009, Froehlich, 2020a. ...
... Nevertheless, an in-depth discussion about the nature of generalization in mixed methods research (MMR), the generalization of MMR findings, and strategies for achieving generalization in MMR have received limited attention. Since there has been a great expansion in the usage of MMR across clinical, educational, and health sciences and the findings of MMR conducted within these disciplines must be translated into practice and policymaking (Fiorini et al., 2016;Guetterman et al., 2019;Younas et al., 2019), there is a need to explore and discuss the idea of generalization in MMR more comprehensively. ...
