Araştırma soruları, araştırmanın yöntemini, desenini ve uygulanacak analizleri belirlediği için bilimsel bir çalışmaya yön veren
temel unsurlardan biridir. Bu nedenle araştırma soruları ve araştırma paradigmasının paralel olması beklenir. Nicel ve nitel
yöntemlerde araştırma sorusu hazırlama konusunda karşılaşılan sorunlar her iki yöntemi birlikte kullanmayı gerektiren karma
yöntemlerde daha belirgin hale gelmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı sosyal bilimler araştırmalarında geçerlik ve güvenirlik
sağlamak amacıyla tercih edilen karma yöntem araştırmasının araştırma sorularının temellerini sunmaktır. Literatür taraması
yöntemi ile hazırlanan çalışmada, derinlemesine bir inceleme yoluyla karma yöntem araştırma sorularının temel özellikleri
ortaya çıkarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu noktada çalışma, karma yöntem araştırma sorularının ana bileşenlerini tanımlanmış,
örnekler sunulmuş ve karma yöntem araştırmasının nasıl yürütüleceği açıklanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın, gelecekteki araştırma
uygulamalarında daha ileri düzey yaklaşımların etkin kullanılması için karma yöntem araştırma sorularının rolünü ortaya
koyarak rehberlik etmesi beklenmektedir.

OMPREHENDING THE CONCEPT OF MIXED METHODS RESEARCH QUESTIONS

Öz

Research questions are one of the basic elements that guide a scientific study as they determine the method, design, and
analyses to be applied. Therefore, research questions and research paradigm are expected to be parallel. The problems
encountered in preparing research questions in quantitative and qualitative methods become more apparent in mixed
methods that require using both methods together. The aim of this study is to present the basics of the research questions
of mixed method research, which is preferred to ensure validity and reliability in social sciences research. In the study, which
was prepared with the literature review method, it was tried to reveal the basic features of mixed method research questions
through an in-depth examination. At this point, the study defines the main components of mixed method research questions,
presents examples, and explains how to conduct mixed method research. It is expected that this study will provide guidance
for the effective use of more advanced approaches in future research applications by revealing the role of mixed methods
research questions.
