An Array of Qualitative Data Analysis Tools: A Call for Data Analysis Triangulation. (2007, background): “Further, by counting words, school psychology researchers are able to leave an audit trail, which are recommended by many qualitative researchers as a method of evaluating legitimation or increasing legitimation, or both (Halpern, 1983; Lincoln & Guba, 1985; Onwuegbuzie & Leech, 2007b).”
Guidelines for Conducting and Reporting Mixed Research in the Field of Counseling and beyond. (2010, background): “Onwuegbuzie and Leech (2007a) identified 24 sampling schemes (5 random sampling schemes and 19 purposive sampling schemes) that can be used to select participants in either the quantitative or qualitative phases of a mixed research study.”
Criteria for Evaluating Qualitative Research (2017, background): “We acknowledge enduring debates about the nature of rigor and the attempts made to develop schemas to characterise alternative approaches to issues such as validity associated with positivist, postpositivist, poststructuralist, and postmodernist research paradigms (Onwuegbuzie & Leech, 2007).”
Soft Skills Needed for the 21st-Century Workforce (2019, background): “Random purposeful sampling involves purposefully determining a group of individuals suitable for the study (Coyne, 1997; Onwuegbuzie & Leech, 2007) as it is not practical to target the entire population (Acharya, Prakash, Saxena, & Nigam, 2013).”
Teacher Support and Adolescents' Subjective Well-Being: A Mixed-Methods Investigation (2009, background): “A multistage purposeful random sampling scheme (cf. Onwuegbuzie & Leech, 2007) allowed the researchers to randomly select participants for the quantitative component and purposefully select participants for the qualitative component.”
An Exemplar for Teaching and Learning Qualitative Research (2012, methodology): “Additionally, because the researcher also served in the role of interviewer, the threat of researcher bias was a plausible concern (Onwuegbuzie & Leech, 2007b).”
Can sample size in qualitative research be determined a priori? (2018, methodology): “8 Van Rijnsoever (2015) uses simulations to determine the minimum number of informants (or, in his words, ‘information sources’) needed to achieve saturation.”
A Typology of Mixed Methods Sampling Designs in Social Science Research (2007, neutral): “…interviews (Morse, 1994) 100-200 units of observation (Morse, 1994) ≥ 3 participants per subgroup (Onwuegbuzie & Leech, 2007c) ≥ 3 participants per subgroup (Onwuegbuzie & Leech, 2007c) 12 participants (Guest, Bunce, & Johnson, 2006) 6-9 participants (Krueger, 2000); 6-10 participants (Langford,…”
Does Sample Size Matter in Qualitative Research?: A Review of Qualitative Interviews in is Research (2013, background): “It is important for researchers to consider how much contact will be required in order to reach saturation” [29].”
Supporting thinking on sample sizes for thematic analyses: a quantitative tool (2015, background): “An earlier review (Onwuegbuzie & Leech, 2007) of a range of recommendations from the literature notes that the authors provide no clues for how they arrived at their estimates.”
Generation Z consumers' expectations of interactions in smart retailing: A future agenda (2017, methodology): “Furthermore, it meets the criteria set by Onwuegbuzie and Leech (2007) who recommend sample sizes of fifteen to twenty, while De Ruyter and Scholl (1998) point out that the most common samples range from 15 to 40 respondents.”
Using personalized learning as an instructional approach to motivate learners in online higher education: Learner self-determination and intrinsic motivation (2020, methodology): “In this study, we followed multiple procedures to achieve internal validity (Onwuegbuzie & Leech, 2007; Polit & Beck, 2010).”
A Mixed Methods Investigation of Mixed Methods Sampling Designs in Social and Health Science Research (2007, methodology): “Using the frameworks of Patton (1990) and Miles and Huberman (1994), Onwuegbuzie and Leech (2007) identified 24 sampling schemes that qualitative and quantitative researchers have available for use.”
