About the Book
Design a proposal with qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research in the human and social sciences with various approaches.
The fourth edition of this well-accepted textbook provides a unique comparison of the three approaches to research inquiry in the human and social sciences: qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods. It begins with of philosophical assumptions for all three approaches—a review of the literature, an assessment of the use of theory in research approaches, and reflections about the importance of writing and ethics in scholarly inquiry.
