Synopsis :

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 and behavioral sciences, health, and education. New to This Edition. Two new mixed methods designs - transformative and multiphase - are now covered. New flowcharts detail the steps involved in conducting each of the six major mixed methods designs. The authors provide more detailed coverage of data collection decisions for each of the six major designs. New topic coverage includes : - the use of joint displays, - emerging discussion about validity, - the newest thinking about the use of software in the process of mixed methods analysis. An example of a mixed methods dissertation outline is now included in the set of guidelines for reporting mixed methods research in a proposal, dissertation, or journal article. New and revised activities and exercises conclude each chapter. Intended Audience. This text is intended for use in Intermediate/Advanced Research Methods, Mixed Methods, Research Design, and Social Research Methods courses across the social and behavioral sciences.
