Hybrid Quantitative Questionnaire with Open-Ended Questions for Rapid Analysis and Qualitative Research Publication: A Conceptual Paper
Abstract
In the process of addressing the challenge of meeting the criteria for completing the exploration of the Problem Statement and submitting a Research Paper for quantitative students to obtain their degree, one approach that can be adopted is the integration of a hybrid quantitative questionnaire alongside open-ended inquiries. Following the completion of the Pilot-Test, analyzing the open-ended question using Thematic Analysis, not only enhances the depth of understanding but also accelerates the overall research timeline, thereby facilitating the creation of more effective and comprehensive strategies for addressing complex societal issues, discovering Problem Statement, rapid analysis, and rapid qualitative research publication. It is the aspiration of the author that this particular methodology will serve as a source of motivation for aspiring Doctorate and PhD candidates in meeting the requirements for their academic advancement and successful graduation.
