Synopsis

A practical, how-to guide to designing mixed methods studies.

Combining the latest thinking about mixed methods research designs with practical, step-by-step guidance, the Second Edition of Designing and Conducting Mixed Methods Research now covers six major mixed methods designs. Authors John W Creswell and Vicki L Plano Clark walk readers through the entire research process, from formulating questions to designing, collecting data and interpreting results and include updated examples from published mixed methods studies drawn from the social, behavioural, health and education disciplines.

New to the Third Edition:

• Two new mixed methods designs transformative and multiphase
• New flowcharts that detail the steps involved in conducting each of the six major mixed methods designs
• More detailed coverage of data collection decisions for each of the six major designs
• New topic coverage: the use of joint displays, emerging discussion about validity and the newest thinking about the use of software in the process of mixed methods analysis
• An example of a mixed method dissertation outline
• New and revised activities and exercises conclude each chapter.
