Foundations of Mixed Methods Research: Integrating Quantitative and Qualitative Approaches in the Social and Behavioral Sciences

by Charles B. Teddlie

Foundations of Mixed Methods Research is the first comprehensive textbook on using mixed methods in the social sciences, written by two leading names in the field. Mixed methodology (combining quantitative and qualitative approaches) has become an increasingly popular way of both researching and teaching methodology across the social sciences, and students across these fields are expected to be proficient in both quantitative and qualitative techniques. This text begins with an introduction to and overview of the development of mixed methodology, and then takes students through all aspects of working with mixed methods from research design and data collection through to analysis and conclusions.

Ok so for a book I was assigned, I very much enjoyed this. The authors wrote simply enough, provided quality examples, and I actually looked forward to the reading assignments (because I felt like I understood what was being said rather than having to wade through jargon). If you are stuck reading about Mixed Methods Research, I do hope your prof selects this for you.
