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.
Provides an excellent tool for students preparing to conduct their research
This book will be an important addition to our course litterature in scientific research.
This text is a very helpful one for any student planning to use mixed methods methodology
This text presents the strengths of MM approaches and is unusual in doing this. It is clear and easily read by students.
The school ended up not giving me the research course to teach
Mixed method frameworks- adopted reading supporting student progress in this complex area of research- excellent for first time mixed method researchers
Provides an excellent tool for students preparing to conduct their research
Very useful for dissertation students who are contemplating mixed measures. Have recommended this for use within CYP, Health and Education.
In my view this is a very well structured book that provides students, who are not familiar with mixed methods, with useful guidelines regarding the process of undertaking such research. I have already introduced it to those of my postgraduate students who are planning to do a study using mixed methods and will continue to do so next semester.
This very clear & structured approach to research methods will be a useful addition to early career researchers and students undertaking dissertations.
