Using Mixed Methods
Frameworks for an Integrated Methodology
- David Plowright - University of Hull, UK
This book shows how to use an integrated methodology that meets the needs of the postgraduate researcher who wants to challenge the traditional paradigmatic view of research.
The author explores:
- The FraIM and its application to social and educational research
- The contexts of research
- Different methods of data collection
- Types of data and their natural integration within the research process
This book is for final year undergraduate and postgraduate students on social science and education courses.
David Plowright is a lecturer in the Centre for Educational Studies at the University of Hull.
I like the way this book is organised and written. I think it will be a real benefit to the students in the autumn as many of them are hoping to adopt a mixed method approach for their thesis. The information is relevant and it is an enjoyable read.
A well written easiliy understood textbook allowing the student to ve able to understand the undeprinning concepts in relation to this third paradigm.
