This state-of-the-art Handbook emphasises flexibility over fixed methodological approaches, showing how mixed methods are ideal for capturing education’s nuanced and diverse realities. Chapters evaluate the theoretical foundations of mixed methods research in education, and investigate real-life examples, from early childhood education interventions in Rio de Janeiro to AI-powered gender analysis in UK kindergarten books. The Handbook illustrates how research in education is purpose-driven, how methodology and objectives shape each other, and how the mixing of methods can occur at any stage in the research process. Providing thorough, actionable guidance on mixed method research design, the contributors illustrate various methods and advantages of planning, conducting, and reporting mixed methods research in education.
An indispensable guide for students and academics in education, the Handbook of Mixed Methods Research in Education is also important for professionals in leadership and administration across educational institutions.
