| Abstract
|
:
|
"In Composing Research, Cindy Johanek offers a new perspective on the ideological conflict between qualitative and quantitative research approaches, and the theories of knowledge that inform them. With a paradigm that is sensitive to the context of one's research questions, she argues, scholars can develop less dichotomous forms that invoke the strengths of both research traditions. For example, context-oriented approaches can lift the narrative from beneath the numbers in an experimental study, or bring the useful clarity of numbers to an ethnographic study."--Jacket
