    Abstract

    Blended learning has great potentials to be applied in teacher education to increase the access and quality of teacher education programs. Mixed methods combine quantitative and qualitative methods to collect, analyze, and interpret data. Applying mixed methods to study online learning in teacher education helps to enrich research findings for a more comprehensive understanding and to enhance the study's scientific rigor. To ensure the rigor of mixed methods studies on online learning in teacher education, researchers should justify the selection of mixed methods based on research purpose and questions, integrate quantitative and qualitative methods meaningfully and effectively, and maintain methodological congruence.
