Numbers and Words: Combining Quantitative and Qualitative Methods in a Single Large-Scale Evaluation Study.

Rossman, Gretchen B.; Wilson, Bruce L.

Evaluation Review, v9 n5 p627-43 Oct 1985

Three perspectives on combining quantitative and qualitative methods in one evaluation are reviewed: mutually exclusive; separate but equal; and integrated. Ways to corroborate, elaborate, or initiate findings from the other method are illustrated, using a large-scale, three-year evaluation of regional educational service agencies. (Author/GDC)
