The purpose of this dataset is for teaching about mixed methods and how to combine qualitative and quantitative approaches when researching children. Dr. Robyn M. Holmes from Monmouth University's Department of Psychology provides this raw material. She extracted it from raw material that included children's original drawings and stories, naturalistic play observations, and standardised language tasks. The participants were 4- to 6-year-old children attending nursery schools in the Northeastern United States. She and her students gathered this material between September 2014 and June 2016. This example focuses on the relationship between children's language skills, creativity, and play. It highlights the value of using a mixed methods approach to better understand a particular topic from multiple perspectives and sources of information. This dataset will be most beneficial and of interest to those interested in using mixed methods that includes working with qualitative and quantitative raw material. The dataset files are accompanied by a Teaching Guide and a Student Guide.
