Publication Decision

The primary purpose of this study was to investigate characteristics of manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Research in Music Education ( JRME) representing various research methodologies. A database was compiled comprising all manuscripts that received a publication decision from February 2009 through March 2014 ( N = 506). Only submissions that went through the complete review process ( n = 423) were analyzed and included quantitative, qualitative, historical, and mixed methods research. The proportions of the 125 articles accepted for publication during this timeframe by research methodology category included 29.39% of the quantitative submissions and 27.41% of the qualitative submissions. Quantitative research represented 65.95% of submissions and 66.40% of acceptances, and qualitative represented 29.39% of submissions and 27.20% of acceptances. Historical studies and mixed methods studies each accounted for very small proportions of submissions and acceptances. Comparisons of the summative judgments that reviewers provided for the quantitative and qualitative articles when recommending against acceptance also were examined and found to be comparable. Data indicate that publications decisions were not systematically related to research methodology.

Knowledge Theory

Mixed methods research is, generally speaking, an approach to knowledge (theory to practice) that attempts to consider multiple viewpoints, perspectives, positions, and standpoints. As such, before the advent of mixed methods, many studies used multiple methods to achieve the benefits of triangulation without restricting themselves to any paradigmatic membership or methodological category. Today, the primary philosophy of mixed research is that of pragmatism. This chapter will cover the history and the foundation of research methodologies and explain the purpose of research within various methodologies. This chapter will also explain the various terminologies used within research and research design as well as the meaning of these terminologies. This chapter will not cover statistics, however, mixed methods, methodology, research, and paradigm, statistical research methodology will be touched upon.

The complimentary nature of qualitative and quantitative research methods are examined with respect to a study assessing the market's view of a training and development institute in the Middle East. The qualitative portion consisted of focus groups conducted with seven distinct market segments served by the institute. The results proved insightful with respect to uncovering and understanding differences of opinion among the seven groups; however, taken alone, the qualitative research would have been very misleading with respect to the institute's standing in the Middle East.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the direct and indirect effects of destination image on destination loyalty. Indirect effects are measured via tourists’ satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach A reliable conceptual framework was developed through a mixed methods research methodology. A three-pronged approach was used to cross-validate the results from a literature review, expert interviews, and exploratory study. Structural equation modeling was used in conceptual model development and hypotheses testing. Findings Exploratory dimensions of destination image, satisfaction and destination loyalty of Indian cities were revealed from Thai tourists’ perception. The positive indirect effects of destination image on destination loyalty via satisfaction is supported. Research limitations/implications This study is limited to tourists of Thai nationality who visited India’s travel destinations. Future research should include further generalization of the research methodology to specific travel destination. Practical implications This study provides useful information for India’s tourism industry, specifically for the marketing of historical cities as travel destinations. Originality/value By proposing a reliable conceptual model based on a mixed methods research methodology, this study is among the first to explore destination image, satisfaction and destination loyalty in India’s tourism context. The mediating role of satisfaction on destination image and destination loyalty was also recognized as an extension of, and contribution, to the theoretical foundation for the destination image concept.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of relationship marketing factors of sports centers on commitment to relationship and intention to recommend. Design/methodology/approach A statistical survey was conducted for quantitative research, and in-depth interviews, for qualitative research, according to the mixed methods research. Findings The results of the quantitative research show that the relationship marketing factors of bonding, facility, and price positively influence commitment to relationship. Expertise and facility positively influence intention to recommend. Finally, commitment to relationship positively influences intention to recommend. Practical implications Sports centers could build relationships based on polite and hospitable service, and host monthly events for building rapport among members. Instructors’ expertise promotes bonding and serves as the most essential factor for intention to recommend. Sports centers must adequately introduce promotions related to rational consumption and specialized promotion. Centers that are managed too carelessly or frugally will have a highly negative impact on customer relationship and intention to recommend. Originality/value This study aims to empirically analyze customer needs by comparing the results of in-depth interviews with customers based on the results of quantitative studies through mixed methods research. It determines the relationships between the aforementioned variables, providing practical implications through analysis of the customers’ subjective consciousness by focusing on sports facilities in order to secure competitive advantage, and thus, overcome financial difficulties.

ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Pembelajaran laboratorium adalah bagian penting dari proses pendidikan yang kompleks untuk mempersiapkan kemampuan mahasiswa dalam melakukan ketrampilan saat menghadapi ujian skills laboratorium. Masalah dalam pembelajaran laboratorium yaitu mahasiswa tidak melakukan redemonstrasi karena kurang motivasi dan meremehkan, kurang keberanian mahasiswa untuk mencoba, merasa sudah tahu, anggapan keterampilan yang dipelajari kurang menantang, waktu yang terbatas, serta keterbatasan alat praktek. Kondisi tersebut dapat memengaruhi kemampuan skill mahasiswa saat ujian ketrampilan laboratorium yang nantinya akan memengaruhi psikologis mahasiswa. Tujuan penelitian: untuk mengetahui bagaimana hubungan ketersediaan sarana sebagai penunjang ketrampilan mahasiswa dengan kecemasan menghadapi ujian skills laboratorium. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian gabungan model sekuensial eksplanatori, yang melibatkan mahasiswa, dosen dan laboran. Data dianalisis dengan uji statistik Kruskal Wallis, dilanjutkan dengan analisis kualitatif secara manual dengan pengkategorian makna final kemudian disimpulkan dari kedua analisis tersebut. Hasil: Hasil penelitian secara kuantitatif dengan uji statistik Kruskal Wallis didapatkan hubungan yang tidak signifikan pada ketrampilan mahasiswa dengan kecemasan mahasiswa program studi (prodi) Diploma III Keperawatan dalam menghadapi ujian skills laboratorium. Hasil uji kualitatif didapatkan empat tema yaitu ketersediaan alat, efektifitas dalam praktek, kecukupan sumber dan metode untuk menurunkan kecemasan. Diskusi: meskipun keberadaan sarana atau alat sebagai sumber belajar dan keefektifan mahasiswa saat praktikum dipandang kurang mendukung ketrampilannya, tetapi mahasiswa mampu mengendalikan kecemasan yang mereka alami. Simpulan: kecemasan mahasiswa berada pada tingkat ringan, tidak terdapat hubungan antara ketersediaan sarana untuk ketrampilan mahasiswa dengan kecemasan dalam menghadapi ujian skills laboratorium.Kata kunci: cemas, mahasiswa keperawatan, ujian skills laboratorium, sarana laboratoriumRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AVAILABILITY OF FACILITIES FOR STUDENT SKILLS WITH ANXIETY IN FACING LABORATORY SKILLS EXAMINATION: A MIXED METHODS STUDYABSTRACTBackground: Laboratory skills is an important part of a complex educational process order to ability of students in performing skills when facing a laboratory skills examination. A problem in laboratory learning is that students do not perform re-demonstration because they lack motivation and underestimate, are afraid to try, think they already know, think that skills are less challenging, have limited time, and equipment is limited. These conditions may affect the ability of student’s skills during the laboratory skills examination which will later affect their psychology. Objective: To identify the relationship between the availability of facilities to support student skills with anxiety in facing the laboratory skills examination. Methods: This research employed a mixed methods research of explanatory sequential models, involving students, lecturers and laboratory staff. Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis statistical test, followed by using qualitative analysis manually by categorizing the final significance and concluded from both analyses. Results: The quantitative research results by using the Kruskal-Wallis statistical test indicated that there was no significant relationship of the student skills on the anxiety in students of Diploma Nursing program in facing the laboratory skills examination. The qualitative test results indicatedfour themes, namely availability of equipment, effectiveness in practice, and adequacy of resources and methods to decrease the anxiety. Discussion: Although the availability of facilities or equipment as a source of learning and effectiveness of students during practicum is considered not supporting their skills, students are able to control their anxiety. Conclusion: Students has mild anxiety; there is no significant relationship between the availability offacilities for student skills with anxiety in facing laboratory skills examination.Keywords: anxiety, nursing students, laboratory skills examination, facilities of laboratory

Sampling is a critical, often overlooked aspect of the research process. The importance of sampling extends to the ability to draw accurate inferences, and it is an integral part of qualitative guidelines across research methods. Sampling considerations are important in quantitative and qualitative research when considering a target population and when drawing a sample that will either allow us to generalize (i.e., quantitatively) or go into sufficient depth (i.e., qualitatively). While quantitative research is generally concerned with probability-based approaches, qualitative research typically uses nonprobability purposeful sampling approaches. Scholars generally focus on two major sampling topics: sampling strategies and sample sizes. Or simply, researchers should think about who to include and how many; both of these concerns are key. Mixed methods studies have both qualitative and quantitative sampling considerations. However, mixed methods studies also have unique considerations based on the relationship of quantitative and qualitative research within the study.

Much like a jigsaw puzzle box top guides one in how to connect the pieces, an individual's research paradigm operates as a conscious or subconscious influence in conducting a research project. This chapter starts by making the argument for the critical role of research paradigms before moving into a thorough investigation of the paradigmatic origins of the qualitative-quantitative “debate.” While mixed-methods research is often seen as the mediator in the dispute, the authors then articulate four broad ways in which mixed methods research addresses the paradigm divide at the heart of qualitative and quantitative research. The result is paradigmatically complex, but offers researchers flexibility as they seek to address their research question.

Much like a jigsaw puzzle box top guides one in how to connect the pieces, a research paradigm operates as a conscious or subconscious influence in conducting a research project. The promise—and challenge—of mixed methods research is that it involves the use of two box tops, and this chapter discusses the subsequent implications on the researcher. The first effect is through the need to balance the paradigmatic distinctives, requiring the researcher to identify one of four broad ways to address the paradigm divide at the heart of qualitative and quantitative research. The second effect is through the need to balance the validation distinctives. Making research credible is an essential component of any study, and the issues magnify given the stark differences between qualitative and quantitative validity orientations. Both implications reveal the level of sophistication required for the researcher when conducting a mixed methods project.
