Mixed Methods Research
This is a very good resource
Mixed methods research is increasingly important in health and social care research and this book is a useful overview of the synthesis of quantitative and qualitative elements, both for research design and in arriving at conclusions from the data.
An excellent and well written book with easy to understand examples.
Pragmatic philosophy is growing in popularity as the 'what works' approach. This text is really useful for those that are considering mixed methods and the options and alternatives for mixing methods. Sequential mixing is covered with the variations and impact and consequences on research for each. Very useful as part of the defending process of research. Written simply with excellent illustrations/diagrams that are informative and make the text easy and enjoyable to read.
This book is easy to read and clearly written for early year’s researchers and MA students, considering their research projects. I like the clear way in which you can find relevant information within the book. I recommend this to MA students in health and social sciences.
This book is an easy to use and clearly written for early year’s researchers. I also feel this book is a good addition to the recommended reading to undergraduate students trying to understand how research and evidence based practice informs the health and life sciences.
Well written and easy for students to understand
Not written at the appropriate level.
Very informative and easy to read coverage of pragmatice approach to research. Both BSc & MSc students as well as current researchers will find this a valuable addition to their resources for understanding research methods.
