This session will provide researchers with a broad overview of the practical and philosophical aspects of mixed methods research. The following areas will be outlined:
- paradigmatic assumptions of post-positivist and constructivist/interpretivist research
- the key philosophical debates surrounding the paradigmatic stance of mixed methods inquiry
- practical issues such as priority and sequence decisions, point of integration, write-up and dissemination
This session would be extremely useful for anyone thinking of using a mixed methods approach for their research, or those looking to develop their understanding of research paradigms more generally.
