What is the definition of mixed-methods analysis? How to use it to measure young people’s school engagement and perceptions of support?

You are most welcome.

Thank you for everything you have done.

Mixed-methods analysis combines quantitative and qualitative research approaches to provide a comprehensive understanding of a research question. This methodology allows researchers to gather numerical data alongside contextual insights, enriching the analysis.

To measure young people's school engagement and perceptions of support using mixed methods, researchers can:

Surveys: Collect quantitative data on school engagement levels and perceived support from teachers and peers.

Interviews or focus groups: Gather qualitative insights into personal experiences and feelings about school engagement and support.

Data integration: Analyze and triangulate findings from both data types to draw more nuanced conclusions about the factors influencing school engagement and support perceptions.
