Abstract
Research design is the technical aspect of a study which includes the planning of the research, visualising the data taking into consideration the problems that are associated in using the data in the study. There are three main research approaches, i.e., quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods. Mixed methods research involves combining or integration of quantitative and qualitative research procedures and data in a research study. The article illustrates the three main models of Mixed Methods Design i.e., Explanatory sequential, Exploratory sequential and Convergent mixed methods design. The main focus of the article is on Complex Mixed Methods Designs. Some of the designs are illustrated with figures for better understanding. A table to help investigators choose the appropriate mixed methods design is also provided. The Complex Mixed Methods designs involve more steps and procedures enabling them to fit in complex projects. Mixed methods research can produce a more complete knowledge as it includes both qualitative and quantitative approaches.
