Reviews for Mixed Methods Applications in Action Research: From Methods to Community Action
"This author has created what I believe to be a very important body of knowledge and has absolutely moved the topic in a manner that reflects current ways of thinking about research in the 21st century. The research applications presented in the textbook chapters help to make mixed method action research doable in areas that may not be reflected in previous thinking or past instructional methods for teaching research methodology."
Juanita A. Johnson, Union Institute & University "The scope of the material covered is terrific and the examples are very useful… I believe that it would be of great use to anyone who is considering this type of design."
Laura J. Meyer, University of Denver "Hones in on the complexities, particularities, and needs of practitioner researchers doing action research…Clearly explains integration for each mixed method type in a way I have not seen before. Figures and boxes [are] once again very valuable, organized, and clear for practitioner-researchers."
Debby Zambo, Arizona State University
