The Mixed Methods Reader

"It premieres the most adept researchers in the field who have bravely and soundly followed mixed methodology approaches." -- Heather T. Zeng
"Excellent book for students gaining a masters or doctorial degree." -- Gineida Morales-Guasch, Ed.D.
This book is recommended reading for researchers and students who wish to embark on a mixed methods research design and would like to understand how the mixed methods typologies translate into actual research studies. It is also recommended that this text should be read in conjunction to Cresswell′s (2011) Designing and Conducting Mixed Methods Research although the latter updates some of the typologies mentioned in the Mixed Methods reader. -- Dr Alecia Samuels * drupal *
One of the must read mixed methods books available. I especially like how the authors reference key readings in the content sections. Especially the chapters on pragmatism, triangulation, purposes, design also the entire PART II are must read. I find chapter 9 a little bit weak as it can be further supported by readings such as Onwuegbuzie, A. J., & Teddlie, C. (2003). A framework for analyzing data in mixed methods research. In A. Tashakkori & C. Teddlie (Eds.), Handbook of mixed methods in social and behavioral research (pp. 351–383). Thousand Oaks, CA: sage.

This is a great book on mixed methods. I wished I had it earlier! I like the methodological selections that address research design types and I am sure any students attempting to use mixed methods would find this a helpful guide.
Definitely a text for any PhD students with an interest in mixed methods. -- Dr Khim Horton * drupal *
Not as detailed as Creswell/Plano Clark book but will use perhaps in future classes. -- Dr Lisa Carvallo * drupal *
