Held for 3 days from 12 April 2022 to 14 April 2022, this event aims to introduce various aspects of mixed and multiple research methodology. Inviting competent speakers, this event carries the concept of delivering material in the initial session and practice in the next session.

“Well, before I start the material, I want to invite ladies and gentlemen, as well as the participants here to share their experiences or tell stories about whether they have used two methods in the research they conducted?”, asked Pradytia. There are participants who claim to have done two methods, namely interviews and questionnaires. There are also those who use a questionnaire as the main data collection and data deepening using open data.

“So, in terms of time it was simultaneously. Collection and analysis of qualitative data. Quantitative also collects and analyses data”, explained Avin regarding parallel convergent design. As for the explanatory sequential design, there are things that must be considered regarding the use. Things that need to be considered are quantitative research and problems, knowing important variables and measurement access, and having access to respondents for stage 2. From data collection stage 2, the researcher develops new questions.
Finally, present as the third day speaker in this series of events was Andrian Liem, M.Psi., Ph.D who delivered “The Concept of Data Analysis in Multi Research and Mixed Methods: From Analysis to Synthesis”. Andrian’s trial started at 12.30 WIB and was held online.
Before delivering the material, Andrian invites participants to share ideas about the possibilities that have been or will be faced when conducting research. The idea was expressed through filling out an anonymous google form link
