Design-based Multilevel Mixed Methods

Design-based multilevel mixed methods combines the iterative, context-sensitive logic of design-based research (DBR) with the analytical power of multilevel data structures and the explanatory depth of mixed methods research. It is used predominantly in educational and organizational research where participants are nested within settings (e.g., students within classrooms within schools) and where a designed intervention must be tested, refined, and understood at multiple organizational levels simultaneously.
