Abstracts

EN

In this paper I strive for overcoming the burden of the incompatibility thesis between qualitative and quantitative research a I call for a third generation in mixed method design, theory, and research. I will, first, outline the presumed differences between QL and QN methods; second, review briefly how mixed methods researchers have attempted to deal with these differences; third, critically assess and subsequently reject the tenability of these differences; and, fourth, propose steps toward a third generation of mixed methods literature and practices. Ultimately, I will argue that contemporary mixed methods design, research, and theory currently lack a good grounding and that an alternative grounding will not only improve the justification for mixed methods research, but it will also broaden its scope and improve its practice.
