| Summary, etc | Using Mixed Methods: Frameworks for an Integrated Methodology presents a practical and innovative approach to conducting research by integrating qualitative and quantitative methods within a single methodological framework. David Plowright argues that research should move beyond the traditional division between qualitative and quantitative paradigms and instead adopt a holistic, pragmatic approach that combines different methods according to the research problem. The book introduces the Frameworks for an Integrated Methodology (FraIM), a structured model that guides researchers through every stage of the research process. The book explains how to formulate research questions, select cases, design integrated sampling strategies, collect data through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and document analysis, and combine different forms of evidence into coherent findings. It also addresses issues of validity, reliability, ethics, data integration, and research reporting, demonstrating how mixed methods research can produce richer and more comprehensive results than relying on a single methodological approach. Written in an accessible style, the book is intended primarily for postgraduate students and advanced undergraduate students in education and the social sciences. It serves as a practical guide for designing, conducting, and writing mixed methods research projects while providing a strong philosophical and methodological foundation for integrated research. |
