La investigación en educación estudia fenómenos sociales complejos y dinámicos que deben ser analizados de manera global. El enfoque integrador de la metodología mixta (MM) permite fusionar las perspectivas CUAL y CUAN durante el proceso de investigación. La flexibilidad, la naturaleza del fenómeno o la densidad analítica son aspectos imprescindibles para la integración. Se pretende analizar la integración en MM para incrementar la calidad y la validez de las investigaciones educativas. Se ha realizado una revisión sistemática de la literatura de los últimos diez años siguiendo el protocolo PRISMA analizandose un total de 22 documentos. Los hallazgos muestran que la eficacia de la MM radica en el grado de integración contemplando la igualdad metodológica. Para ello es necesario contemplar la integración en las perspectivas teóricas, la justificación, el diseño, los objetivos, los métodos, el análisis de datos, la transferencia y la organización del equipo de investigación. Sin embargo, existen retos para integrar eficazmente. El debate perteneciente a la rigidez de lo CUAL y lo CUAN, la integración efectiva de la MM, la calidad de la investigación o los criterios de evaluación de corrientes separatistas pueden eclipsar la naturaleza de la integración. El auge de la MM ha contribuido a entender el dinamismo de fenómenos educativos. La integración efectiva es el mayor potencial de la MM, pero, al mismo tiempo, es un reto para los equipos de investigación. Por ello, se requieren bases consolidadas para que la comunidad científica desarrolle prácticas bajo principios de calidad, validez y eficacia en la investigación.

Society recognizes the need to progress towards equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of political and economic decision-making for women and requires that companies work to reach that goal. Nevertheless, leadership education should begin in the educational stages. This research presents a collaborative model of leadership education for high-potential female undergraduate students carried out at the university level between 2017 and 2020, with 75 students. To be successful at improving student leadership skills, self-esteem, self-confidence, and personal inner transformation, this women’s leadership development program was based on four lines of innovation: (a) attracting external stakeholders to develop training jointly; (b) making an open program with multidisciplinary students in social sciences and STEM subjects tailored to the professional environment; (c) measuring the learning with all the participants: trainers, directors, managers, program staff and students, using a 360-degree evaluation; and (d) designing an ongoing research process to incorporate improvements from multiple stakeholder perspectives. A multi-source program assessment was used. The results not only show a positive impact on the students’ acquisition of leadership skills but also, on the increase in self-confidence and ambition. The study provides a pioneering model for women’s leadership education that could be used in other similar programs.

“…How could mixed methods help elucidate and find solutions for the psychological stress of the outbreak (Watkins et al, 2017)? How could new or existing theory inform design, analysis, or interpretation of mixed methods data (Evans et al, 2011; Kallemeyn et al, 2019)? How could mixed methods social network analysis (Fielding & Cisneros-Puebla, 2009; Yousefi Nooraie et al, 2020), mixed methods GPS (Christensen et al, 2011), or mixed methods GIS (Bhuyan & Zhang, 2019; Jones, 2017) be used to understand and curb the epidemic?…”

Given the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for mixed methods research across virtually all disciplines and at all levels of social institutions has never been clearer. Moreover, the complexity of the research triggered by the current pandemic just over a century after the last pandemic of this magnitude in 1918, the ''Spanish Flu'' (Trilla et al., 2008), is precipitating unprecedented and creative research approaches for responding to the crisis. Similarly, researchers of all disciplines need the latest research approaches to investigate the implications of this world catastrophe. In this face of adversity lies opportunities for all walks of researchers to leverage the power of mixed methods research. 1 The world's researchers need new applications of existing methodologies and the creation of novel research methodologies to address a host of challenges in the healing sciences, education, business, health policy, political science, and the arts, humanities, and social sciences more broadly. Researchers who have developed novel methodologies in their investigation of other catastrophic social changes may have particular insights that are applicable now. The purpose of the Special Issue on COVID-19 and Novel Mixed Methods Methodology in Catastrophic Social Changes (abbreviated as ''Special Issue'' in the following) is to disseminate rapidly for use the novel applications and innovative mixed methods methodologies that could inform or have been triggered by the pandemic. Problems and Research Questions Associated With the COVID-19 Outbreak The outbreak from COVID-19, or specifically the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus type, from an epidemiological perspective alone commands the application of mixed methods research. As the outbreak was beginning to emerge in China and then across the globe, epidemiologists were calling attention to the problems of inadequate numerical data and of the limited research tools
