MIXED METHODS DESIGN IN EVALUATION
Donna M. Mertens, Gallaudet University
In this groundbreaking first volume of SAGE's Evaluation in Practice Series, best-selling author Donna M. Mertens
explores the meaning of mixed methods evaluation, its evolution over the last few decades, and the dominant
philosophical frameworks that are influencing thought and practice in the field today. Four chapters explore evaluation
of the effectiveness of interventions, development of instruments, systematic reviews, and policy evaluations, while
an additional chapter covers mixed methods designs appropriate to specific contexts. Practical in nature, the book
includes definitions of relevant concepts, sample studies that illustrate mixed methods designs, specific steps for each
design, and application exercises.
