“…MMMR triangulation is a valuable tool for confronting the value perspectives of different groups and for uncovering subjugated knowledge (Hesse-Biber, 2012). Interested readers are referred to the very extensive literature on the application of MMMR to the analysis of gender inequality (Bamberger 2013;Bamberger, Segone, et al, 2016;Bowman & Sweetman, 2014;Brisolara, Seigart, & SenGupta, 2014;Brown, 2000;Monitoring, evaluation & learning, 2014;Hay, 2014;Hesse-Biber, 2012;Hesse-Biber & Griffin, 2015;Mertens & Hesse-Biber, 2012;Mulder & Amariles, 2014).…”

Independent Evaluation Consultant, OR, USAAlthough the term multi-method research has been around at least since the publication of Brewer and Hunter's (1989) Multimethod Research: A Synthesis of Styles, as yet, there is no consensus on how multi-method research should be defined and what is the distinction between multi-method and mixed methods (MM) approaches (see, however, the International Journal of Multiple Research Approaches website; it offers related operational definitions of these terms). Although multi-method approaches are widely applied by researchers in many disciplines, more attention has been focused on MM research, which has become increasingly popular over the past 20 years (sometimes referred to as the Third Research Paradigm) as evidenced by the publication of the Journal of Mixed Methods Research, three handbooks (i.e., Sage [with two editions] and Oxford University Press), and many books. One proposed way to distinguish between multi-method research and MM is that, whereas multi-method research usually involves the mixing, combining, or integration of techniques, approaches, concepts, language, and philosophies within a research tradition, in contrast, MM research usually involves the integration of techniques, approaches, and so forth across research traditions. Furthermore, MM usually involves a focus on integrating quantitative (QUANT) and qualitative (QUAL) methods. However, these distinctions are probably too limiting. Many evaluations involve combining both QUANT and QUAL approaches within a particular discipline (e.g., using sample surveys to develop a typology for selecting follow-up case studies or focus groups), whereas, on the other hand, multiple methods are frequently used in cross-disciplinary studies (Bevan, 2009).An important dimension that has received less attention concerns the need to understand the different ways that QUANT methods are used in different social science disciplines. For example, the econometric methods that are widely used in both macro-and microeconomics involve quite different assumptions than those underlying QUANT methods used in sociology, demography, ethnography, or public-sector research. For example, ABSTRACTThe purpose of this article is to review potential opportunities for the application of Multi and Mixed Methods Research (MMMR) in the evaluation of international development programs. MMMR is used to cover the mixing, combining, and integration of techniques, approaches, concepts, language, and philosophies within a particular social science discipline; and the mixing, combining, and integration across different social science disciplines. In this article, multimethod and mixed methods research approaches are not distinguished. Rather than focusing in depth on 1 or 2 potential applications, the article discusses 6 areas of development evaluation (i.e., integrating new information technologies, strengthening experimental and quasiexperimental designs, evaluating complexity and equity, evaluating gender equality and women's empowerment, and ide...

“…Les chercheuses et les chercheurs des sciences humaines et sociales ont intuitivement eu recours à l'analyse commune de données qualitatives et quantitatives depuis le début du XX e siècle (Pelto 2015;Hesse-Biber 2015). Ce n'est toutefois qu'à la fin des années 80 qu'une communauté d ' (2012) soulignent l'utilisation de types de devis de recherche qui sont spécifiques de la RMM, ce qui la distingue de la recherche monométhode (c'est-à-dire quantitative ou qualitative) 2 .…”

“…À l'heure actuelle, plusieurs chercheuses considèrent qu'il est primordial de se recentrer sur la neutralité des méthodes, celles-ci ne représentant en fait que des outils pour servir les projets scientifique et politique de la recherche féministe (Hesse-Biber et Griffin 2015;McCall 2005;Crasnow 2015). Les enjeux politiques des paradigmes féministes, soit essentiellement le changement social en vue de l'égalité des sexes/genres, sont fondamentaux et constituent le scellant des éléments ontologiques, épistémologiques et méthodologiques des investigations.…”

“…Bref, le choix des outils méthodologiques semble se faire, selon les observations actuelles, en fonction des valeurs émancipatoires du projet politique féministe et de son paradigme philosophique (Hesse-Biber et Griffin 2015).…”

“…Certaines personnes répondent par l'affirmative (Creswell et Plano Clark 2011). Toutefois, plusieurs autres ont récemment soulevé avec beaucoup de pertinence la tendance du discours dominant 5 de la RMM à faire la promotion du paradigme pragmatique comme étant « le » partenaire philosophique idéal de l'emploi des méthodes mixtes (Denzin 2010;Howe 2004;Hesse-Biber 2015;Mertens 2010a). En ce sens, l'idéalisation du pragmatisme poserait un certain nombre de problèmes, dont la marginalisation des approches plus interprétativistes et critiques, telles qu'elles sont adoptées par une grande part des chercheuses féministes.…”
