This invited editorial article is based on my experience shared at the 2021 MMIRA Asia Regional / 7th JSMMR Annual Conference. The inaugural Asia Open Forum (AOF) was initiated by the Japan Society for Mixed Methods Research (JSMMR) and the Mixed Methods International Research Association (MMIRA) in 2019 at Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, Japan. The 2021 AOF was the 3rd panel which I have been honored and privileged to be a part of since it was established. The focus of the 2021 AOF was on “Mixed Methods Research Knowledge and Skills Acquired While Abroad.” The purpose was to capture the journey of panel speakers’ mixed methods learning outside of Asia and discuss the impact on their research career of their scholarly activities while abroad. I shared my mixed method research (MMR) learning in the U.S. and how I brought and shared what I leaned back to Taiwan. This article briefly discussed the following areas: (1) my background and my MMR dissertation, (2) my career path and the innovative Taiwan study abroad program, (3) my academic training abroad and continued professional development in mixed methods research, (4) my teaching of mixed methods research doctoral course, (5) my MMIRA and JSMMR encounters, and (6) my promotion of MMR in Taiwan, Asia, and abroad.

This paper is about my story of learning and exploring mixed methods in abroad. So, the purpose of this paper is to provide readers with a catalyst and a guide necessary to participate in the journey of mixed methods. My story is mainly composed of two parts, that is, one is my doctoral program period at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the other is my senior visiting scholar program period at University of Michigan. Finally, this paper emphasizes that we should endeavor to find out diverse paths how we can reach to the potential of mixed methods in practice.

Despite growing popularity in mixed methods research, many who are new to the field are unfamiliar with fundamental concepts and particularly about key aspects relative to integration in the paradigm and methodological dimensions. The mixed methods research integration trilogy was advanced as an approach for considering integration of the philosophical or paradigm, methodological, and methods dimensions of mixed methods research projects. In the mixed methods context, the paradigm dimension refers to a worldview held by scholars that comprises distinct assumptions and beliefs about matters such as what is considered reality (ontology), the basis of knowledge (epistemology), and research values (axiology). Methodology refers to the logic of inquiry grounded in its history of use. The methods dimension reflects the specific strategies, techniques, and procedures researchers use to conduct the study. An example illustrates how these different but interrelated dimensions are integrated in rigorous mixed methods studies. A template can be utilized to facilitate thinking and planning about these dimensions, and for representing to others these critical elements in projects. The integration trilogy provides a conceptual structure for considering the interconnectivity of the paradigm, methodological, and methods levels and can be used by mixed methods researchers in their own projects, and by teacher of mixed methods researchers with their learners. Greater attention to these levels of mixed methods research should enhance the rigor and transparency of the integrity of mixed methods studies.
