- Summary:
- "This is a concise introduction to mixed methods research that is ideal for readers wanting an overview of the methods, or for use as a supplementary text in a general research methods course, or as a companion to a short course. The book serves as an entry point, conveying the mixed research approach in a nutshell and serving as a conduit to other more comprehensive treatments. Rather than outlining every possible rationale, design, procedure, or evaluation method, this volume highlights a handful of key "moments" in the research process where mixed methods research is possible and potentially transformative: the development of research questions, sampling, the design of data collection instruments, and the analysis and interpretation of data. Throughout the book, the authors keep their focus on these four key moments with examples of how researchers have harnessed a mix of methods to produce rich evidence regarding important social processes. The book demonstrates how quantitative data (the focus of the QASS series) can be used in integration with qualitative data to advance a line of research"-- Provided by publisher.
