Description
Combining the latest thinking about mixed methods research designs with practical, step-by-step guidance, the Fourth Edition of Designing and Conducting Mixed Methods Research now covers seven mixed methods designs in depth, with accompanying journal articles in the back of the book illustrating the three core mixed methods designs. Authors John W. Creswell and Vicki L. Plano Clark walk readers through the entire research process, from formulating research questions to sampling and collecting data, analyzing and integrating data, and drawing metainferences from the integrated results. This edition provides enhanced discussion of integration, joint displays, and metainferences and includes updated examples from published mixed methods studies drawn from the social, behavioral, health, and education disciplines.
