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 rigour which is brought to bear on mixed methods as an approach but also appreciated the flexibility and recognition of real world applications which are essential for professional learners.
Extremely clear and readable guide. Brings rigour to the mixed-methods approach but with the necessary flexibility for professional learning.
Address all relevant issues. Language used at a level that students would find easy to follow and understand as fot most students English is not their mother tongue.
The MBA course is esentially a course with built-in integrative perspective, so this text was very appropriate.
A valuable addition to our reading lists.
This book provides a novel yet pragmatic approach to mixed methods and will be of great value to researchers embarking on mixed methods. It is more suitable for postgraduate studies than undergraduate and the former are more likely to find the FRaIM a useful tool for their projects.
Well-written book.Concise and well-presented
I recommended adoption to the course monitor, but they did not adopt. I recommend this text to my students though. Thank you.
