<br/><br/> "Foundations of Mixed Methods Research: Integrating Quantitative and Qualitative Approaches in the Social and Behavioral Sciences is a unique, interdisciplinary text written by two leaders in the field. Charles Teddlie and Abbas Tashakkori present an all-inclusive approach to mixed methods research, integrating the quantitative and qualitative approaches. They begin by introducing readers to the historical, philosophical, and other fundamental aspects of mixed methodology. They then cover the methods and strategies. From generating questions and selecting samples through conducting analyses and making inferences, the authors help readers conceptualize the dynamic interplay among research questions, research designs, sampling procedures, data collection techniques, data analyses, and inference processes.  Features: Covers the basics of the qualitative and quantitative approaches before detailing mixed methods research for readers; Identifies directions for future developments, including conceptual/philosophical foundations, research design, quality audits, and mentorship of emerging scholars; Presents summaries of actual research projects in a cross-disciplinary manner, providing readers with models to follow in their own inquiry; Provides a glossary of more than 250 terms associated with mixed methods research; Includes research questions and exercises to help students prepare for exams."
