Beyond Qualitative and Quantitative Polarization
Herausgeber: Ercikan, Kadriye; Roth, Wolff-Michael

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Presents an integrated approach to educational inquiry that works toward a continuum instead of a dichotomy of generalizability. This book shows how this continuum might be related to various types of research questions asked and how these questions should determine modes of inquiry.

---

Tackling one of the most critical issues in education research today - how research methods are related to value and meaningfulness - this frontline volume presents an integrated approach to educational inquiry, where the focus is on creating meaningful findings that are not polarized by qualitative versus quantitative methodologies. This approach allows readers to better understand possibilities and shortcomings of different types of research.
