“…The present study employed a mixed method as it used both quantitative and qualitative content analysis techniques. "At its basic elements, mixed methods research involves collecting both quantitative and qualitative data (in response to quantitative and qualitative research questions), the merging, linking, or combining of the two sources of data, and then conducting research as a single study or a longitudinal project with multiple phases [26]." It is found essential to include the factors of asking questions such as; deriving questions from drama activities, deriving questions from stories, asking similarities and differences through puzzles and mind games, curiosity-raising questions, asking odd and interesting questions, asking questions from life stories, asking questions attaching importance to ideas and opinions Asking questions attaching importance to ideas and opinions.…”

In the present study, some of the pre-service teachers' criticisms against their exams were investigated. Moreover, as an alternative, to what extent philosophical, romantic and mythic questions could be used was also looked at. The study group consists of 117 pre-service teachers from the classroom teacher education. In the study, it was investigated what criticisms directed to exams by the pre-service teachers are the most important ones. Moreover, a form consisting of 20 items was administered to the study group to test mythic, romantic and philosophical understanding. The aim of this form is to elicit the pre-service teachers' opinions about the questions testing mythic, romantic and philosophical understanding. The present study employed a mixed method as it used both quantitative and qualitative content analysis techniques. Incorporation of romantic, mythic and philosophical questions into both exams and teaching process may serve the function of trying "unusual" questions. In addition, use of such questions may have contributions to the consideration of affective components as well as cognitive components of teaching.

“…Scholars have pointed out that mixed methods research comes close to ethnography but is, nevertheless, separate from it (Brannen 2005, Cresswell andGarrett 2008). Initially, it was difficult for me to distinguish between these two methodologies, and it is therefore appropriate to mention ethnography as a method briefly here.…”

I thank you for your comments, based on which I have tried to improve on this dissertation summary. I also wish to thank The Finnish Association of Translators and Interpreters (Suomen kääntäjien ja tulkkien liitto SKTL ry), Translation Industry Professionals (Käännösalan asiantuntijat KAJ ry) and Akava Special Branches (Akavan Erityisalat ry) for supporting this work by providing me travel grants to various conferences both in Finland and abroad. Participating in such conferences has allowed me to build networks with translators and their researchers, which in turn greatly furthered this work. My dear colleagues Kathleen Moore and Roger Luke in Tampere and Stuart von Wolff in Joensuu, as well as my daughter Josephine Abdallah-Miraglia in Florida-thank you so much for being my language consultants and article proofreaders. Stuart, thanks for reading and correcting the dissertation summary and providing me with useful ideas to improve on it. I also thank Laura Sobon for translating into English my Finnishlanguage article 'Tekstittämisen laatu-mitä se oikein on?'. And my dearest friend and the sister that I never had, Kaarina Kada, deserves my warmest gratitude. Throughout these past seven years, and even long before that, she has been the surrogate mother of my youngest son Michael and the untiring minder of our dog when I was away at conferences or trying to write at the weekend. Truly, a friend in need is a friend indeed. And finally, I want to thank my family. I thank my 84-year-old mother, Liisa Perjola, and my late father, Georg Perjola, for supporting my early scholarly endeavours. I only wish my father could have been here to share this day with us. But my fondest possible thanks are reserved for my three children and my son-in-law William. Thank you, Johnny, for taking care of the house and your little brother while I, for the past three years, have been an absent mother for weeks on end while working in Joensuu and more recently in Vaasa. And Michael-thanks for putting up with a mother, who was all-too-often preoccupied with her books and papers and whose thoughts were sometimes a million miles away. Josephine and William, thanks for being there for us. Even if separated physically by an ocean, you are always in our hearts and within Skype's reach. Josephine, Johnny and Michael, without your love, nothing else matters. This work is dedicated to the three of you.

“…We recommend a mixed-methods convergence model for data collection, management, and analysis of this formative evaluation. This approach utilizes quantitative and qualitative methods to capture data concurrently (Creswell & Garrett, 2008). Both streams are prioritized equally, and are kept independent in terms of data collection but merged during analysis and interpretation.…”
