商品簡介
Bergman (methodology and political sociology, U. of Basel, Switzerland) presents a collection of 11 articles exploring the advantages, the fuzziness, and problems of mixed methods designs, research, and researchers. Topics addressed include the paradigmatic view of qualitative and quantitative methods, and how it has both helped and hindered the development of mixed methods design; troubles with triangulation; analytic density, postmodernism, and applied multiple method research; personal, professional, and project issues in mixed methods research; issues of concurrent and sequential mixed methods designs; an integrative framework for addressing quality issues; the consequences of mixing different data collection methods; an analytical framework combining detailed case studies with network or dimensional analysis; and tools for exploring multi-perspective knowledge construction.
