Mixed Methods Research, SenseMaker®, and Complexity: Entangling
#Qualitative and
#Quantitative Inquiry. This blog explores mixed methods
#research, the integration of qualitative and quantitative data and how it supports a more comprehensive understanding of complex phenomena. Drawing on the work of Creswell, Bryman, Teddlie, and Snowden, it outlines rationales such as triangulation, explanation, completeness, and credibility.
#SenseMaker embodies these principles by enabling participants to share stories and self-signify meaning, capturing lived experience while revealing patterns across large datasets. This approach supports decision-making in complex systems by combining tacit and explicit knowledge, ensuring depth, scale, and contextual understanding.
