Social network analysis (SNA) is becoming a prevalent method in education research and practice. But criticism has been voiced against the heavy reliance on quantification within SNA. Recent work suggests combining quantitative and qualitative approaches in SNA—mixed methods social network analysis (MMSNA)—as a remedy. MMSNA is helpful for addressing research questions related to the formal or structural side of relationships and networks, but it also attends to more qualitative questions such as the meaning of interactions or the variability of social relationships. In this chapter, we describe how researchers have applied and presented MMSNA in publications from the perspective of general mixed methods research. Based on a systematic review, we summarize the different applications within the field of education and learning research, point to potential shortcomings of the methods and its presentation, and develop an agenda to support researchers in conducting future MMSNA research.

将定量和定性网络方法联系起来：教育研究中混合方法社会网络分析的回顾

社交网络分析 (SNA) 正在成为教育研究和实践中的流行方法。但有人对 SNA 内部对量化的严重依赖提出了批评。最近的工作建议在 SNA 中结合定量和定性方法——混合方法社交网络分析 (MMSNA)——作为一种补救措施。MMSNA 有助于解决与关系和网络的形式或结构方面相关的研究问题，但它也关注更多定性问题，例如互动的意义或社会关系的可变性。在本章中，我们从一般混合方法研究的角度描述了研究人员如何在出版物中应用和展示 MMSNA。在系统回顾的基础上，我们总结了教育和学习研究领域的不同应用，
