Abstract / Description of output
This chapter provides an overview of mixed methods research, and outlines the key philosophical, theoretical and methodological considerations when designing mixed-methods research within education. The chapter begins with an overview of the ‘what, why, when and how of mixed methods research’ to enable researchers to assess whether a mixed methods approach would be suitable for their study, and then provides an in-depth account of the processes involved in designing and conducting mixed methods research in practice, to support researchers’ development of coherent, rigorous mixed methods research.
