摘要
混合方法是在定性和定量方法的论战中产生的。混合方法研究被看作是继定性和定量方法之后的"第三次方法论运动"。混合方法研究作为一种方法论,涉及到指导数据收集和分析的哲学假设,以及在研究过程许多阶段的定性与定量方法的混合。作为一种方法,混合方法研究关注在单个研究或多个研究中收集、分析和混合定性与定量数据。混合方法研究的中心假设是,把定性和定量方法混合起来使用比单一方法能更好地理解和解决研究问题。混合方法研究已成为社会科学研究新的研究取向和发展趋势。本文回顾了混合方法研究形成和发展的过程,剖析了混合方法研究的主要类型,探讨了混合方法研究的未来发展趋向,并思考了混合方法研究对我国社会科学研究的意义与价值。
Mixed methods research has evolved as a result of the debate between the qualitative and quantitative methods. It is called 'the third methodological movement' followed by qualitative and quantitative methods. As a methodology,it involves philosophical assumptions that guide the direction of the collection and analysis to data and the mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods in many stages in the research process. As a method,it focused on collecting,analyzing,and mixing both qualitative and quantitative data in a single study or multiple studies. Its central assumption is that the combined use of qualitative and quantitative methods can provide a better understanding of research issues than a single method. Mixed methods research has become a new research orientation and trend. This paper attempts to review its formation and development,analyzes its main design types,discusses its future development trends,and thinks about its value and significance to the social science studies in China's Mainland.
