Mixed Methods Research

Autor Vicki L. Plano Clark, Nataliya V. Ivankova
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 oct 2015

Observăm în Mixed Methods Research o abordare sistematică și inovatoare, semnată de Vicki L. Plano Clark și Nataliya V. Ivankova. Ambele autoare sunt figuri centrale în domeniu, Vicki L. Plano Clark fiind recunoscută pentru rolul său de editor la Journal of Mixed Methods Research și pentru expertiza sa în designul cercetării calitative. Această lucrare fundamentează practica pe un cadru socio-ecologic unic, oferind o claritate conceptuală necesară într-un domeniu aflat în plină expansiune.

Remarcăm că volumul este structurat riguros în două părți. Prima parte definește esența și necesitatea unui ghid de navigare în domeniu, introducând procesul de cercetare prin metode mixte, în timp ce a doua parte se concentrează pe aplicabilitatea metodologică. Comparabil cu Mixing Methods in Social Research de Ralph P. Hall în rigurozitate, volumul de față este actualizat pentru complexitatea peisajului academic contemporan, oferind o perspectivă teoretică ce depășește simpla recunoaștere a pragmatismului ca lentilă filosofică unică.

În contextul operei sale, această carte reprezintă o evoluție firească de la The Mixed Methods Reader. Dacă lucrarea anterioară era o antologie a celor mai buni cercetători, Mixed Methods Research sintetizează aceste perspective într-un model coerent de lucru. Față de Designing and Conducting Mixed Methods Research, unde accentul cădea pe pașii procedurali, aici Vicki L. Plano Clark pune sub lupă interacțiunea dintre contextul social și alegerile metodologice, oferind instrumente critice pentru studenți și cercetători deopotrivă.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte cercetătorilor care doresc să depășească aplicarea mecanică a metodelor de cercetare. Cititorul câștigă un cadru socio-ecologic robust care ajută la justificarea deciziilor metodologice complexe. Este o resursă esențială pentru doctoranzii în sociologie și științe sociale care au nevoie de o bază teoretică solidă pentru a integra datele calitative și cantitative într-un mod unitar și coerent.


Despre autor

Vicki L. Plano Clark este profesor asociat de cercetare la Departamentul de Psihologie Educațională din cadrul University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Deține funcția de co-director al Office of Qualitative and Mixed Methods Research și este editorul fondator al Journal of Mixed Methods Research publicat de Sage Publications. Specializarea sa vizează designul cercetării prin metode mixte și problemele procedurale care apar în implementarea acestora în diverse discipline academice. Expertiza sa vastă este reflectată în numeroasele publicații de referință care au modelat standardele actuale în metodologia cercetării sociale.


Descriere scurtă

This book addresses basic questions including: What is the mixed methods research process? How is mixed methods research defined? Why is it used? What designs are available? How does mixed methods research intersect with other research approaches? What is mixed methods research quality? How is mixed methods shaped by personal, interpersonal, and social contexts? By focusing on the topics, perspectives, and debates occurring in the field of mixed methods research, the book helps students, scholars, and researchers identify, understand, and participate in these conversations to inform their own research practice.

Recenzii

“[This text] provides an excellent starting point to engage in the field (and key debates) concerning mixed methods as practice and theory.”
“I love the perspective that this book takes. It embraces a broad view of the landscape of mixed methods research (MMR) and provides the reader with a ‘one-stop shop’ for operationalizing MMR. I believe it can serve as a ‘field guide’ to the broad and often confusing world of MMR.”
“I appreciate seeing that the author(s) provided up-to-date and the most cutting-edge references on mixed methods for the reader to seek out, as needed.”
“I loved the tables and textboxes. They were full of so much information and very useful to reflect on as one reads the narrative.” 
"It is kind of refreshing to see this new theoretical perspective for MMR that goes beyond the acknowledgement that MMR fills a void in the field of methodology as following or being viewed only from the philosophical lens of pragmatism…Their content…represents yet another viable theoretical perspective beyond pragmatism"
