introduction to fully integrated mixed methods research
1 online resource (xxviii, 268 pages) : illustrations
KEY FEATURES: Exemplary published studies illustrate concepts in mixed methods so readers have a better sense of how principles can be applied in real research situations. A unique section addresses assessing the quality of mixed methods research and the challenge of reporting to help students evaluate the quality of their own studies as well as published studies. Engaging and creative use of the architectural arch as a metaphor for mixed methods research provides a vehicle that communicates the principle that the integration of approaches is essential to the purpose of a project. Chapter-ending questions for classroom activities are linked across chapters, allowing instructors to envision a series of interlinked assignments leading to a final project.
