Mixed-Methods and Evaluation Research: Trends and Issues

Steven I. Miller

School of Education, Loyola University Chicago

Marcel Fredericks

Department of Sociology, Loyola University Chicago

In this article, the authors attempt an initial exploration of the relevancy of the newly emerging field of mixed-methods research for educational evaluation. They give a brief introduction concerning the intent and variety of mixed-methods designs and models. They focus the analysis on some of the general issues and problems of this emerging field, including the lack of clear-cut procedural rules and differing ontological commitments. However, they argue that a particular form of mixed-methods design called quantitative-dominant sequential analysis might prove useful for some educational evaluation and policy studies.

Key Words: evaluation • mixed methods • procedural rules • ontological commitments • logic-of-choice • inference
