“…The result of the study shows that there is an increasing trend of utilizing MMR in the research of employability. Importantly, Creamer and Reeping [41] mentioned that MMR is not a new research approach, and there is an increasing trend in its application in empirical research. This became distinct in the field of employability research as well.…”

Studies on employability using a mixed methods (MM) design have been published in relevant journals in recent years, paving the way for a meaningful engagement with these published articles so that researchers can create milestone documents dedicated to exploring employability. This study explored the trend of utilizing mixed methods research (MMR) in the literature and the resultant methodological insights in 34 MMR articles on employability, which were selected from the 744 articles published during 2010–2019 in five major journals. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) technique was followed for systematic review, and analysis was conducted. The analysis reveals an increasing trend by using an MMR approach in employability studies. The robust analysis of a body of qualitative and quantitative data with personal reflection from deeper understanding supported the outcomes of most of these studies. However, informed engagement of both qualitative and quantitative strands and additional efforts in integration and data merging can contribute meaningfully to the examination of the employability notion. In conclusion, MMR adds rigor to the discourse of employability, serving as a guide to ensure the connection between education and employment. It also offers insights into reforming higher education.

“…Donaldson et al (2015) found that 78% of 1336 published articles between 1999-2013 used quantitative methodology, and only 10% used mixed methods. This review also contributes to the growing literature of reviews of mixed methods research within psychology (e.g., Creamer & Reeping, 2020;Hanson et al, 2005;Plano Clark, 2010;Ponterotto et al, 2013).…”

“…Another challenge in conducting a review of mixed methods in positive psychology is the absence of mixed methods terminology in published articles in psychology. Creamer and Reeping (2020) assert that psychology has combined quantitative and qualitative methodologies for years; authors simply may not use identifying terms highlighting the mixed methods features in these articles due to continued concerns for paradigm incompatibility in psychology research.…”

A call for diverse research approaches in positive psychology by the International Positive Psychology Association (2015) and the Journal of Positive Psychology(2017) challenged psychology researchers to consider methodology outside traditional quantitative methods. The purpose of this methodological review was to examine the use of mixed methods approaches in empirical studies in positive psychology. The review identified 56 positive psychology articles published between 2010 and 2019 that used a mixed methods approach. To our knowledge, this is the first review of mixed methods methodology in the field of positive psychology. The small number of published articles in that period indicate mixed methods is either not currently a widely used methodology in the field or it is being used without identifying terminology. Those studies using mixed methods often used positive psychology to inform an intervention in the quantitative strand and gathered interviews within the qualitative strand. Opportunities for growth for positive psychology researchers include interpreting data in mixed methods style and strengthening the identification of key features of the approach in the text.

“…Hybrid methodologies have grown exponentially in recent years. Many terms are used: integrative research, mixed model (Johnson and Onwuegbuzie 2004), triangulation (Morse 1991), combined approach (Depraz and Desmidt 2019), multimethod (Greene 2015), articulating heterogeneous data (Adé et al 2020), mixed methods research, mixed methods, (Anadón 2019;Camerino, Castañer, and Anguera 2014;Creamer and Reeping 2020;Creswell and Plano Clark 2018;Hesse-Biber and Johnson 2015;Pluye et al 2018;Schweizer, del Rio Carral, and Santiago-Delefosse 2020).…”

Introduction:In recent years, hybrid methodologies have undergone considerable development. For sport pedagogy research, this mixed methods design is helpful because it moves beyond paradigm wars or conflicts between qualitative and quantitative research.However, mixed research in physical education remains rare, whereas the literature is much richer in the sports field.Purpose: This paper gives a synthesis of the use of hybrid methods in sport pedagogy research both in a literature review and in this special issue entitled "Mixed methods in intervention sciences in PSE: a heuristic enrichment or a weakening of frameworks?".Methods: For the literature review, we used the EBSCO database using SPORTDiscus. The keywords selected were "physical education" and "pedagogy" crossed with "multimethod" or "mixed methods" or 'multilevel analysis' or "multisource" or "multimodal" or "combined analysis". In total, 23 articles were found, and we retained 11 articles corresponding to the selection criteria. We added the six articles of this special issue. Thus, 17 articles were analyzed by identifying: the object of study, the type of data collected, the articulation of approaches, the articulation of methods, the articulation of data and the function of the MMR used. Findings:The results of this literature review show that the term "mixed methods" covers the largest number of studies. The articles selected are recent with most studies from 2018 onwards. The 17 articles selected present different objects of study (mainly focusing on student perspectives, intervention programs and physical activity). The articulation of approaches shows that theoretical frameworks are often based on a contextualized approach, mainly in the classroom. Most of the studies presented in this review do not work on the congruence of the theoretical frameworks (most often, the articulation is not specified). However, it is different in the special issue with precision about paradigm emphasis.Articulation of methods is mostly convergent, implementing both quantitative and qualitative methods in a single phase. The quantitative data analyzed are audio and/or visual recording, measure of physical activity (accelerometry), measures of performance or motor skills and surveys. The qualitative data are mainly from interviews (mostly semi-structured interviews in the literature review, and self-confrontation interviews in the special issue). Articulation of data priority is often given to qualitative data. The function of the mixed methods is mainly complementarity. Discussion and conclusion:This section highlights the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities of MMR, questioning its supremacy as a third research paradigm. The conclusion indicates the limitations of this literature review and offers perspectives for future research, advising making the articulation more explicit especially in theoretical concerns.
