These are: qualitative methods research, quantitative methods research and mixed methods research. Each method has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, this article focuses only on a mixed research methodology. So, what is mixed methods research? According to There are two main reasons why this mixed methods research is chosen to answer the research question, including minimizing the gap between missing data and the quantitative or qualitative method and generating better results of the research question by relation to a method. The reason for choosing mixed research methods is that multi-method research can minimize the gap between missing data and qualitative and quantitative methods approaches. As McLaughlin (1991) explains in his article, in most cases, researchers use a qualitative research approach to discover certain findings after conducting quantitative research. Some researchers deploy a quantitative method after conducting qualitative research, before filling in gaps in data analysis (McLaughlin, 1991, pp. 303-304). Johnson and Onwuegbuzie (2007) (as cited in Connelly (2009)) state that the mixed methods approach allows researchers to answer more complex research questions because they use both methods for survey research (Connelly, 2009,
