Series: Bloomsbury Research Methods

In this book, Mertens provides a brief history of the emergence of mixed methods research and 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 in 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. The book features interviews with researchers about their experiences and practices. They discuss 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.

Reviews for Mixed Methods Research: Research Methods

This book introduces multiple lenses to examine a social phenomenon using mixed methods with case study examples. Reflecting issues and ethical values of the 21st century, the book emphasizes cultural sensitivity and inclusiveness in the research process. The author's clear writing makes it easy for non-native English readers to understand. * Hisako Kakai, Professor of International Communication, Aoyama Gakuin University, Japan * By taking the intriguing route of introducing readers to options in research design through the lens of paradigmatic assumptions, Mertens renders accessible this often-daunting component of mixed methods research. Numerous case studies with a social justice orientation, where the focus is on the place and construction of stakeholder–community–interdisciplinary relationships, illustrate these options. * Pat Bazeley, Adjunct Professor, Western Sydney University, Australia *
