Written by Michael D. Fetters, one of the leading scholars in the
field and co-editor of the Journal of Mixed Methods Research, The
Mixed Methods Research Workbook: Activities for Designing,
Implementing, and Publishing Projects is the perfect tool for
doctoral students and researchers who want support throughout their
research project, as well as a practical way to apply the knowledge
they’ve learned. With The Mixed Methods Research Workbook, you’ll
be ready to tackle your mixed methods research project with
confidence. Each chapter follows a familiar framework, starting with
learning objectives for each piece of the mixed methods process.
Readers have ample space in this text to write notes, fill out
activities, and begin their process of actively designing and writing
up a mixed methods study. This easy-to follow process gives readers an
immediate structure to their projects. Exemplar boxes provide a
starting framework, with the text encouraging deeper reflection on
mixed methods challenges and opportunities. Stories from the field
illuminate struggles and suggestions with the benefit of hindsight.
Checklists at the end of each chapter help readers stay organized and
key resources provide up-to-date lists of material for further study.
From start to finish, readers can follow along with this text as they
work on their projects. The text begins by assisting readers in
identifying topics and conducting literature reviews in the context of
mixed methods, zeroing in to address mixed-methods-specific challenges
like integration, leveraging advantages of both qualitative and
quantitative methods, and incorporating theory and personal
backgrounds. Identifying data sources helps readers organize their
data collection. Two chapters on research designs structure the data
collection process with procedural diagrams. A unique chapter on mixed
methods sampling offers application through basic and advanced
designs. The book illustrates integrating and implementing mixed
methods designs with practical advice for each of stage of the
process. Ethics in a mixed methods context readies readers for the
research protocol stage. Several chapters fully explicate the data
analysis process, including developing a joint display, a
state-of-the-art procedure for analysis and presentation of findings.
Closing out the process, the text tackles quality and evaluation in
mixed methods studies, preparing your study for publication, and
writing up your article.
