The Mixed Methods Reader
- Vicki L. Plano Clark - University of Cincinnati, OH, USA
- John W. Creswell - Department of Family Medicine, University of Michigan
Another example of good information on an accepted research method that would be a useful addition to any research students 'library'
An excellenent source of up to date literature on mixed methods for PG students. Will use as highly recommended if not not essential of students wishing to embark on a mixed methods research design. Gives a complete overview of views on mixed methods applications with enough examples to make sense of this 'new' methodology.
Is probably a little more detailed about a specific methodology than the broad based course we teach our masters students
Don't want to add another book
course design is more qualitative now.
This book is recommended reading for researchers and students who wish to embark on a mixed methods research design and would like to understand how the mixed methods typologies translate into actual research studies. It is also recommended that this text should be read in conjunction to Cresswell's (2011) Designing and Conducting Mixed Methods Research although the latter updates some of the typologies mentioned in the Mixed Methods reader.
Insightful and informative. Recommended reading reading for my MSW students.
T he reader covers a variety of mixed methods applications.
For my class, I Needed more introductory level explanations of separate methods before turning to combined methods.
