Thank you walminskipeas... and pjlu. I appreciate your help. One more question please: Is it necessary when I present the data under each reserach question to have data from the 4 methods (qustionnnaires, interviews, observation, and document review). Actually, I noticed that it's very hard to collect data for each research question from the 4 instruments.
Thanks again,

Dear all seniors in this forum,
If I have four research questions in my reserach and I'm using 4 instruments, do I have to use the 4 instruemnts for each research question i,e when presenting my data under each research question, is it obligatory to have data from each instrument?

Hi Walmiskipeas. I really liked this forum. It's answering some of my confusions. From the language you're using, you seem very knoweldgeable about research. Actually, my decision about using different instruments was meant for triangulation. My advisor is very demanding yet very little helping so I have to make it my way. Please can you answer the other questions that I presented in my previous post. what do you mean by weaving qualitative and quantitave data. can you give me an example. Do you have any reference that would give me samples and examples of presentation of observational and interview data. Do you have a sample of thesis where data was presented under research question so I know how it is done?

Thank you keenbean for your answer.I really appreciate it as I'm in a very confused situation and I need someone professional to help me. Actually my research is about instructional supervision. I did a questionnaire for both teachers and supervisors, I did interviews with both teachers and supervisors and I also did observations and document review. Now in the chapter of presenting the data. I don't know how to start. I am planning to write each research question and under it to present data from questionnaires, data from interviews, data from observations, and data from documents that would answer each research question. Can I do this? But how do I write the data of the observations and interviews? Do you have any resource or document that I can read and would help me in this issue? Also do I have to have data from the 4 instruments to present under each research question. If my first research question is: how is the process of instructional supervision being conducted in one school, then do I have to write how teachers described this process and how teachers described it also and find items i nthe questioniare that would answer this question and present them also. Also do I have to comment and find data in the interviews that crosses data about each item in the questionnaire and present it.
Thank you in advance,

Congrats. Hope everything will be fine. Can u please help me in answering my question that comes under the thread (presenting interview data). I can see that this is an active thread and actually no one replied to my question in my thread. I'd appreciate your help. It is posted on the first page of this forum.

I'm a new user of this forum. I'd appreciate your help please. I'm doing a mixed methods research in a school setting. I'm using questionnaires, interviews, document review and analysis, and observations. Now I'm in the stage of presenting the data. I'm planning to present data under research questions.This is being very hard for me and my questions are the following:
1- should I present the data fo questionnaires first and then other instrument or it doesn't make any difference?
2- How do I present data driven from interviews. Do I write quotes knowing that this is going to be a lot of data? I have many many responses.
Please help me. My professor isn't that helpful
