Visual Displays in Qualitative and Mixed Method Research A Comprehensive Guide

Synopsis

This boundary-spanning textbook explores diverse ways that visual display can advance understanding of complex social phenomenon in applied fields in the social and human sciences. It provides a window into the latest advances in mixed methods research (MMR) by investigating how integrative tables and figures have been creatively adapted in diverse contemporary contexts where qualitative methods are prominent.The book affirms that the usefulness of visual displays is not restricted to reporting; it extends to helping investigators conceptualize a research problem, embed quality in research design during planning, advance multi-dimensional sampling, to extend analysis, and as a tool to highlight integration during reporting. Chapters feature examples that demonstrate how different shapes and textual devices that are available through basic word processing software can help an investigator to think more complexly about the multi-dimensionality or temporality of a construct, process, or phenomenon.Tailored for emerging scholars, this comprehensive resource book will prove useful in seminars and workshops designed to assist students in writing a research proposal. It is it is an invaluable textbook for a new generation of hybrid research methods courses that combine qualitative and mixed methods in the social sciences, education, and healthcare.
