Sam Odom: Mixed methods
Tags:Education Profiles Research
Sam Odom gave a very interesting talk today on peer acceptance and rejection among preschool children with disabilities. They used a mixed method approach based on
Caracelli & Greene (1997). Crafting mixed-methods evaluations design. In Caracelli & Greene (Eds.), Advances in mixed-method evaluation: the challenges and benefits of integrating (pp. 19-32). SF: Jossey-Bass.
I haven’t looked at the chapter, but the method looks to me is heavy on the qualitative side. This may reflect my ignorance on qualitative methods, and Sam commented that mixed-methods often fail to satisfy either ends.
This, of course, is among the many things Sam did.
