Research Methods in Counselling Lecture 4

When quantitative and qualitative methods are combined it is called [blank_start]mixed[blank_end] methods

Who wrote the quote about mixed methods from 2007 listed in the lecture notes:

Adding a qualitative component to a quantitative research project to add greater understanding of numerical findings is called adding [blank_start]depth[blank_end]

Adding a quantitative component to a fundamentally qualitative project is called adding [blank_start]breadth[blank_end]

Who said "What distinguishes mixed-method evaluation is thus the intentional or planned use of diverse methods for particular mixed-method purposes using particular mixed-method designs"?

In program evaluation, the [blank_start]evaluand[blank_end] is the object of an evaluation.

Select all of the examples of objects of an evaluation from the list below:

Evaluators make a judgement about the worth of the object of an evaluation

Evaluators make judgements by establishing [blank_start]criteria[blank_end]

Evaluators also make judgements by constructing standards

From the list below, select the processes by which evaluators make judgements (as listed in the lecture notes).

Which of the following is NOT a part of program logic:
