“…Within leisure studies, McSweeney and Faust (2019) describe becoming more adaptive and reflective through methodological bricolage. The word bricolage refers to a person ''who makes use of the tools available to complete a task'' (Kincheloe et al, 2011, p. 168).…”

“…Bricoleurs can be interpretive, narrative, theoretical, political, and methodological (Denzin, 2012;Denzin & Lincoln, 2008). McSweeney and Faust (2019) and Pratt et al (2020) focus on methodological bricolage. It is ''an approach to research that seeks to be open to multiple perspectives, ways of knowing, power relations, and strives to adopt an interdisciplinary framework'' (McSweeney & Faust, 2019, p. 343).…”

“…Novel contexts and situations call for innovative methodologies. Nontraditional research methods create work that is responsive to changing contexts or research gaps (McSweeney & Faust, 2019). Mixed methods have been employed to examine visitor learning at zoos (Bueddefeld & Van Winkle, 2017, 2018; Roe & McConney, 2014), investigate perceptions of sustainability (Santiago-Brown et al, 2015), and develop understandings about human–wildlife conflicts (Alexander & Draper, 2019; Wilson & Rose, 2019).…”

“…Researchers must seize this moment to use and create novel mixed methods methodologies for addressing the current crisis and to inform future cataclysmic and catastrophic social changes as well. (p. 285) This article addresses the call for innovative and novel mixed methods research (Azzari & Baker, 2020;Dodds & Hess, 2020;Gretzel et al, 2020;Fell et al, 2020;Fetters & Molina-Azorin, 2020;Mars & Ball, 2016;McSweeney & Faust, 2019;Pauwels, 2010) through a discussion of how the pandemic required our research team to reevaluate and continuously adapt data collection plans of visitor learning and proenvironmental behavior change in a Canadian National Park between June and September 2020. This continual process of adaptation resulted in both novel and innovative approaches in mixed methods research.…”

“…This continual process of adaptation resulted in both novel and innovative approaches in mixed methods research. Innovative mixed methods research is a growing area of interest (Mayoh et al, 2012; Wheeldon, 2010), and specific to our interdisciplinary field, leisure scholars have increasingly advocated for methodological innovation (Johnson, 2014; Mars & Ball, 2016; McSweeney & Faust, 2019; Pauwels, 2010).…”

This article explores innovative and novel research methods and adaptive approaches during the COVID-19 pandemic to examine visitor learning and proenvironmental behavior. We present a mixed methods study that used a methodological bricolage approach to field-based data collection. The pandemic limited our ability to carry out the original study design. Quickly pivoting, the study was adapted to an explanatory sequential design with a survey, an interpretive video, naturalistic observations, personal meaning maps, interviews and a new method: comprehension assessments. This resulted in data collection that maintained trustworthiness and rigor, while remaining flexible to changing protocols. This article contributes to the field of mixed methods research by demonstrating the application of methodological bricolage in visitor research during catastrophic social change.
