Research Design and Methodology
Design of the study
Mixed-method design - quantitative and qualitative inquiry
Mixed methods research is a research design with philosophical assumptions as
well as methods of inquiry. As a methodology, it involves philosophical
assumptions that guide the direction of the collection and analysis of data and the
mixture of qualitative and quantitative data in a single study or series of studies.
˻ Its central premise is that the use of quantitative and qualitative approaches in

˹ combination provides a better understanding of research problems that either
approach alone. (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2007)
Quantitative inquiry – survey research is used to gather information about
population groups to “learn about their characteristics, opinions, attitudes and
previous experiences” (Leedy & Omrod, 2005, p. 183). This is done by
administering a written questionnaire to a group of respondents, and the
responses to the questions will form the data for the study (Fraenkel & Wallen,
2009).
Qualitative inquiry – Case-Study; Multiple in-depth interview, analysis of artifacts
The Respondents
The respondents of the study will include 100 stratified randomly chosen
MTG trainees from 2000-2010 from all over the Philippines.
The respondents in the qualitative inquiry will be chosen through purposive
sampling.
Instruments
