Integrating Quantitative and Qualitative Methods in Research systematically outlines specific strategies to guide the student in designing and conducting empirical research. As with any undertaking that is based on skill development, the more you use the skill the more adept you become with the skill. The quality and usefulness of all research is only as good as the skills of the researcher and the clarity of the research study. This book is written primarily for graduate level producers of education and social science research. It is also appropriate for students who are proposing and conducting a research project as a culminating undergraduate requirement, and individuals and groups conducting research on topics independent of an informed means of assuming the role of researcher and embarking on a research study. It is written with the encouragement of learners who participated or will participate in research. | Integrating Quantitative and Qualitative Methods in Research by George R.
