Research in which the researcher uses the qualitative paradigm for one phase and the quantitative paradigm for another phase is known as

Mixed method research uses the qualitative paradigm in one phase and the quantitative paradigm in another.

Action research aims to solve a local problem and is not defined by combining the two paradigms.

Basic research seeks new theory and can use either paradigm, but not both in phases by definition.

Quantitative research is only one of the two paradigms and cannot cover the qualitative phase.

Mixed methods integrate the strengths of both approaches within a single study.

Triangulating qualitative and quantitative findings can enrich and validate the conclusions.
