Designing and Conducting Mixed Methods Research de John W. Creswell

Designing and Conducting Mixed Methods Research

Autor John W. Creswell, Vicki L. Plano Clark
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 sep 2017

Remarcăm în această a treia ediție a lucrării Designing and Conducting Mixed Methods Research o rafinare necesară a metodologiei, autorii John W. Creswell și Vicki L. Plano Clark concentrându-se acum pe trei designuri de bază care servesc drept fundație pentru orice demers de cercetare mixtă. Capitolul 4 reprezintă o noutate majoră, extinzând aplicabilitatea acestor modele fundamentale către zone complexe precum studiile de caz, designurile de justiție socială participativă și evaluările de program. Structura cărții urmărește riguros parcursul unui cercetător, de la fundamentele filozofice și istorice din capitolul 2, până la tehnici sofisticate de integrare a datelor. Suntem de părere că progresia logică a conținutului, susținută de exemple actualizate din științele sociale și medicale, facilitează o înțelegere profundă a modului în care teoria se traduce în practică. Notăm cu interes efortul autorilor de a simplifica decizia metodologică prin reducerea tipologiilor la trei modele esențiale, oferind în același timp strategii pentru a face studiile mai „state-of-the-art”. Această abordare este comparabilă cu cea din Foundations of Mixed Methods Research de Abbas Tashakkori în ceea ce privește rigurozitatea academică, dar lucrarea de față se distinge prin accentul pus pe pașii procedurali și pe noul tabel sinoptic final care unifică întregul proces. În contextul operei lui John W. Creswell, acest volum completează perfect textul său clasic Research Design - International Student Edition. Dacă lucrarea menționată anterior oferă o privire de ansamblu asupra celor trei abordări de cercetare (calitativă, cantitativă și mixtă), Designing and Conducting Mixed Methods Research aprofundează specificul metodologiei mixte, fiind instrumentul ideal pentru cei care au depășit etapa de inițiere și au nevoie de un ghid de implementare detaliat.

Descriere scurtă

Combining the latest thinking in the field with practical, step-by-step guidance, the Third Edition of John W. Creswell and Vicki L. Plano Clark’s Designing and Conducting Mixed Methods Research now covers seven mixed methods designs with accompanying journal articles illustrating each design. The authors walk readers through the entire research process, and present updated examples from published mixed methods studies drawn from multiple disciplines. In addition, this new edition includes information about the dynamic and evolving nature of the field of mixed methods research, four additional methodological approaches, and coverage of new directions in mixed methods.

Recenzii

"The go-to text for mixed methods research.”

“Creswell and Plano Clark have captured recent changes within mixed methods research, and these are reflected in this dynamic, salient book!”

“An excellent guide for the design and conduct of mixed methods research!”

“Readers of the book will understand the expanding breadth of multiple methods, the value of complex methods for sophisticated analysis of problems, and how to use and evaluate mixed methods in research.”

“This updated edition provides thoughtful consideration to how the field of mixed methods research has changed, including how the authors' own definitions and typologies have refined. It also provides a discussion of a diverse array of empirical studies from prominent and emerging mixed methods scholars, highlighting the strength and potential of this field for social and behavioral sciences.”

“Creswell and Plano Clark do excellent work in showing the evolution of mixed-methods research. One of the highlights of this edition is the addition of scaffolds that guide writing sections of a mixed-methods study.”

“Narrowing down the research methods to three primary types and then providing application methods and basic step-by-step instructions, along with great resources in the appendix and outside contributions, makes this a must have book in any academic study leading to research development.”
