A Realist Approach for Qualitative Research
Are cultural and material phenomena equally real? How can one study the relationships between cultural constructions, social behavior and material conditions and draw a valid conclusion from the data? In contrast to interpretive or constructivist positions, realism supports the insights of critical theory in social and educational research regarding the relationships between actors' perspectives and their actual situations, while avoiding the epistemological objectivism associated with positivism and some forms of post- positivist empiricism. This book will explain how readers can use realism to conceptualize and conduct their qualitative study to get results with greater validity.

However, in qualitative research, the activities of collecting and analyzing data, developing and modifying theory, and identifying and addressing validity threats are all going...
Mixed Methods Research Outside the Box
Luminary author Joseph A. Maxwell shows readers how to do unconventional, yet grounded, mixed methods research. Serving as a foundation for realist approaches, Mixed Methods Research Outside the Box will give readers a new way to think about and combine qualitative and quantitative research. This expansive text takes a broad view of mixed methods by presenting an alternative perspective on mixed methods research design, the "interactive" or "systemic" model of design that more closely integrates qualitative and quantitative elements and acknowledges the complementarity of qualitative and quantitative methods. This novel conceptualization extends through research design concepts like validity...
