Design-Based Intervention Mixed Methods

Design-based intervention mixed methods is a research design that embeds both quantitative and qualitative data collection within iterative intervention cycles drawn from design-based research (DBR). The approach systematically tests and refines a practical intervention — typically an educational program, curriculum, or organizational solution — while using qualitative data to explain why and how the intervention works, and quantitative data to assess its measurable impact. Iteration between design, testing, and revision is the hallmark of this approach.
