Combined Qualitative and Quantitative Study that Employs two Phases Sequentially

The focus of this two-step sequential hybrid approach is to determine whether there is a relationship between generation (X generation, Y generation, Z generation, etc.) and incidence of bullying in secondary education. This research is due to a significant increase in bullying in news, and more importantly due to recent bullying due to bullying. In the first step, quantitative research questions will focus on statistical analysis between categories of each generation and the incidence of bullying incidents during secondary education.

Use qualitative data to investigate quantitative results. This interpretive sequential design typically includes two stages: (1) the first quantitative measurement phase, and (2) the qualitative data acquisition phase. Here, the qualitative phase is directly established based on the results of the quantitative phase. Thus, quantitative results are explained in more detail by qualitative data. For example, you can use qualitative focus groups to further investigate the results of tool data on costs and better understand how individual personal experiences match the results of tools. This research shows the use of a hybrid method to qualitatively explain how the quantitative mechanism works.

Mixing method Sequential interpretation design starts from the quantitative research phase, then the qualitative research phase. The goal is to test / certify some assumptions in the theoretical framework using quantitative methods, then investigate the site in detail using a qualitative method and explain the quantitative result of the quantitative data It is to provide. Step 2: Design the qualitative sample based on the sampling frame of the quantitative sample. This means selecting individual / family / company (or any unit analysis) from sample framework for qualitative investigation. These choices must provide additional information to help eliminate quantitative analysis ambiguities

The sequential mixing method was used in this study. The design is divided into two stages. In this design, we first collect and analyze quantitative data, then collect and analyze qualitative data (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2007). The overall objective of the design is to characterize the data to help explain or establish the initial quantitative result of the first stage of the study (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2007). The advantage of this design is that its two-step nature makes implementation and reporting easier. By combining quantitative and qualitative methods, we can better understand research problems than using either method alone (De Vos, Strydom, Fouché & Delport, 2011).
