Mixed-Method Approach Operational Paradoxes in Social Science Research: Views From the Authors
Abstract
This study sought to investigate common operational grounding for applying the mixed-method approach in social science research. This qualitative study used an open-ended questionnaire to collect data from various senior professionals or researchers, specifically those with a PhD qualification, to gather information about their understanding or views relating to the application of the mixed-method approach. Purposive sampling was used to select participants from different journal issues publishing library and information science-related research works, nationally and across the globe. The study discovered that various researchers in social science research have different views and use different approaches when implementing the mixed-method approach. The study recommended a common approach to implementing mixed-method research by means of a framework as a guideline on what constitutes the mixed-method approach and how to implement the approach.
