By applying the advantage of both quantitative and qualitative methods, mixed methods help build theories and solve real-life problems. However, it also has some challenges, such as being complex, time-consuming, and requiring more resources. Overall, mixed methods research is an important and flexible strategy balance between different ways of studying problems in today’s academics’ work.
