Research Design: Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed Methods Approaches

I recently purchased "Research Design: Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed Methods Approaches" by John Creswell and found it to be an invaluable resource for my graduate studies in research methods. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the various research designs and methods used in the social sciences, and it does an excellent job of explaining the strengths and limitations of each approach. Creswell's writing is clear and engaging, and he provides practical examples and tips throughout the book to help readers understand and apply the concepts. I also appreciated the inclusion of case studies and real-world examples, which brought the theories to life and helped me better understand how to apply the concepts in my own research. Overall, I would highly recommend "Research Design: Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed Methods Approaches" to anyone studying or interested in research methods in the social sciences. It's an essential resource for anyone looking to develop a strong foundation in research design.

This book is The research bible.I bought mine used, advertised as good condition, and it was a great bargain.Keeping it for life. I wonder if there's an ebook version, hmm...- Philo

I have read a lot of research design books and this is one of the very best. Yes it is a bit expensive, but worth every penny. For me and my students it is a concise essential reference - a "must have" resource for students who wish to write a thesis. The first chapter on the selection of research approach and philosophy is very helpful. From that point on, Creswell takes you step by step through the process of writing a thesis or paper.

An excellent book with clearly laid out research content. This book can help you to easily determine which research approach you should take based upon your philosophical perspectives.

Tres bon livre, bien expliqué et c un bon livre de départ pour aborder les principales recherches. Je recommande vivement
