“…Many researchers found visual tools such as figures, matrices, joint display, and tables could significantly facilitate data collection, data mixing, and even obtaining of funding (Bustamante, 2019; Corden & Hirst, 2008; Kong et al, 2018). For instance, Robinson et al (2011) composed a matrix to visually manage every data collection.…”

As integration in mixed methods studies is of great interest, we reviewed published articles between 2007 and 2019 in two major journals of mixed methods research to identify the integration challenges mixed methods researchers experienced. This study contributes to mixed methods by summarizing the reported challenges in empirical mixed methods articles based on the concept of integration. We found mixed methods users’ experienced uncertainty during integration due to lack of guidance and confidence. We advocate that researchers should be proactive in expounding methodological challenges that they confronted in practice and report what they did, how they did it, and why they did it in such ways to approach full integration. By doing this, researchers would make valuable contributions to this methodology’s development.

“…The research model was a mixed-methods experimental design because the study used both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. In the mixed-methods experimental design, qualitative data is collected to support experimental study results to understand whether the intervention works and how it works (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2018;Kong, Mohd Yaacob, & Mohd Ariffin, 2018). The nonequivalent groups pretest-posttest design was used to collect the quantitative data for the analysis in the experimental strand (Büyüköztürk, Çakmak, Akgün, Karadeniz, & Demirel, 2014;Fraenkel & Wallen, 2012).…”

This study aims to determine the impact of flipped learning and gamification methods on student achievement in the subject of ethics and security, which is a topic of the fifth grade information technology and software course, compared to the traditional method. Also, it aims to decide the students' opinion of about the flipped learning and gamification methods. The study used a mixed-methods experimental design, included both quantitative and qualitative research designs. The study's quantitative strand focused on the non-equivalent groups pretest-posttest design and the qualitative strand based on the case study design. The study group consisted of 32 fifth-grade students from a secondary school in a city located in western Turkey. There were 16 students in the experimental group and 16 students in the control group. The ethics and security success test, which the researchers developed, was used for collecting quantitative data. The semi-structured interviews with the students in the experimental group were performed for qualitative data. The descriptive statistics and two-way analysis of variance for mixed measures were used to analyze the quantitative data and the content analysis method was used to analyze the qualitative data. According to the study results, the students in the experimental group were more successful than the students in the control group. The students expressed positive opinions about the flipped learning and gamification methods in the interviews.

The Role of Education in the Sustainable Regeneration of Built Heritage: A Case Study of Malta

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Vernacular architecture has great historical, cultural and architectonic value, but also much potential for reducing energy demand. However, the eco-refurbishment of heritage buildings within Mediterranean countries poses particular challenges. The research presented in this paper is part of a wider study aiming to develop an effective framework for the sustainable regeneration of heritage buildings in Malta, using the 17th-century Presidential Palace of San Anton, Attard, as a case study. This paper focuses on the role of education in this field. Through qualitative research, including workshops with stakeholders, a stakeholders focus group and a public questionnaire, the awareness levels, educational background and attitudes of key stakeholders were analysed and assessed, as was the policy framework within which they operate. Interventions were found to be required at all levels. Increased awareness and education, a supportive policy framework, and a shift in the perceptions and attitudes of several key stakeholders were identified as crucial in ensuring that interventions on heritage buildings do not negatively affect their environmental performance, and/or impact their architectural and cultural value. This paper features recommendations outlining a supportive strategy for improving the knowledge base of stakeholders, including students, professionals, the public, policy-makers and operators.
