During the last lecture we have an interesting presentation about mixed methods in a longitudinal research by Johanna Wyn, she introduces to us the study “The making og a generation; The children of 1970s in Australia”, and I felt particularly attract to one of the things highlighted during the presentation.

An education that seeks the deeper understanding and the developed of skills and dispositions for thinking, should prepare students to overcome the future and achieve their goals
