Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The purpose of a convergent parallel design (also called a triangulation design) is to obtain different, but complementary, data about the central phenomenon under study. The goal of this design is to converge on the truth about a problem or phenomenon by allowing the limitations of one approach to be offset by the strengths of the other. In this design, qualitative and quantitative data are collected simultaneously, with equal priority (QUAL + QUAN). In an embedded design, one type of data is used in a supportive capacity in a study based primarily on the other data type. Either qualitative or quantitative data can be dominantalthough qual is often supportive of QUAN in embedded designs. Sequencing is often concurrent. Explanatory designs are sequential designs with quantitative data collected in the first phase, followed by qualitative data collected in the second phase. Exploratory designs are also sequential MM designs, but qualitative data are collected first.
