Throughout the process, the researcher predominantly exploited the quantitative data collection methods and extensively benefited from the qualitative methods in order to obtain additional information to the primary data. Although the two types of data emerge from quantitative and qualitative tools in the mixed research design, these datasets may not fully address each research question without the other (Creswell, 0000). With this in mind, 000 the researcher combined the advantages of each type of research approach, specifically, the ability of quantitative data to generalize the results, and the power of qualitative data to provide richness of supplementing, explaining, and reinterpreting the participants’ thoughts, beliefs, attitudes and cognitive and affective state as well as the context and setting. The motive behind the integration was to combine close-ended ones in the survey with open-ended questions in the interview, as well as to involve transforming qualitative themes into numbers and comparing them with quantitative results in an interpretative manner (Creswell, 0000). Thus, the data from these different designs supported each other, increased the level of validity and hence provided deeper insights into the question at hand.
