"The authors have successfully integrated a technical and well rounded discussion of the evolution of mixed methods research balanced with practical application examples of using mixed methods for the pragmatic researcher."
This book provides essential knowledge on mixed methods research and is useful for undergraduate and postgraduate study.
Very accessible text which clearly lays out the approach in a critical manner.
This is an excellent book for teaching postgraduate students about the different types of mixed method approaches, along with a critique of their use in behavioural sciences.
The book does cover elements of research for Bsc (Hons) students completing a dissertation and needing to understand research however the terminology is complicated particularly for the level required. The book may be of better use for those who have already been involved with research in parts.
A very interesting approach for mixed methods.
Provides the needed foundation of Mixed Methods Research.
The book well deserves the title foundations. The authors' use of exemplar works and typical study examples emphasizes the important aspects of mixed methods (MM) research. By doing so, they keep novices from misinterpreting MM, while deepening more experienced users' understanding.
An excellent read for all researchers whether engaging in mixed methods or not. I particularly like section one.
Too advanced for the level of student - level 5
