question 70

Essay

A researcher does a mixed methods study on teacher burnout. She initially does a survey of teachers across several districts. The survey includes information on the school's location and demographics, as well as questions about the amount of time teachers spend on different activities (classroom time, planning time, bus duty, after school activities, grading, and support networks-from school or family). After the survey, she visits a sample of teachers who indicated on the survey that they were thinking of leaving the profession. She decides to do multiple case studies of these teachers. She observes the teachers for two days and interviews the teachers. Describe the processes that you would use to do a mixed data analysis of these data.
