Mixed Methods Research by Professor Donna M. Mertens provides a brief history of the emergence of mixed methods research and offers numerous examples to illustrate its application in different disciplines and geographic areas.
Mixed methods approaches offer researchers an exciting opportunity to explore new combinations of methods in diverse contexts. The design possibilities are endless and can be incorporated into many different approaches.
The book presents case studies to illustrate different philosophical lenses for mixed methods design, including post-positivism, constructivism, pragmatism, transformative, Indigenous, and dialectical pluralism.
Featuring interviews with researchers about their experiences and practices, the book discusses a variety of topics, including innovative research design, use of technology and big data, preparation of mixed methods researchers, and how this research can contribute to a more just and equitable future.
