"This is an extremely useful book for its intended audience of researchers and graduate students in the social sciences. It addresses the framework issues of philosophy and politics of research, the methods that one might use, and the applications of different kinds of methodologies. The book is balanced, informative, and clearly written…"
very dated and basic
Recommended for students who intend to use mixed methods research. Its a simple, easy to understand book.
Mixed methodology: combining qualitative and quantitative approaches is divided into three parts which consists of nine chapters and an end of chapter index of useful terms. The text is balanced between presenting and explaining complex theory from quantitative, qualitative and mixed method research and provides a how to guide for the different mixed methods designs for social and behavioural science researchers,’ seeking to use a mixed methods approach to answer their research questions.
An excellent discussion on mixed methods, easy to read with useable.
A good book. I've recomended it to my students as mixed methodology and the philosophies covered in a clear an concise manner.
The concept of mixed methods research is still fairly new to grasp in some quaters, but this book adopts terms that are easily followed and makes the concept very interesting. The discussion on paradigm wars and the current position serve to clarify the necessity for adopting mixed methods approaches.
A practical guide that could be useful for more experienced researchers. In my view not suitable for my students including MA and MBA.
