Quality Indicators for Mixed-Methods Research in Special Education

Mixed-methods research (MMR) holds promise for investigating several empirical questions within special education, capitalizing on the strengths of quantitative and qualitative traditions. We present an overview of MMR in special education and quality indicators for conducting and reporting such studies. We look to the future for how MMR may advance our understanding of crucial issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Finally, we discuss special considerations for MMR and the open science movement.
