The second edition, published in , included the articles in the first edition and a set of new articles that were responsive to the field and its development in the previous decade.
The introduction to this edition described the evolution as follows: In the near-decade since the first edition of this book was published, the landscape of educational research methods has changed materially. Although quantitative approaches to disciplined inquiry in education are still employed quite frequently, the publication of research that is totally devoid of quantitative summarization and analysis is now quite common.
Nonetheless, the distinctions among research methods that were identified for the original tape series are, for the most part, still relevant and useful today, and most are present in this second edition pp. In the second edition, two new chapters were added along with one new section. A chapter by Lee Shulman , on the nature of disciplined inquiry in education, was added to the first section.
The volume, therefore, served as a basis for introducing a range of perspectives to a broader audience in order to expand the repertoires of, and resources available to, AERA members.
What is complementary about complementary methods: Issues and Challenges In this, the third edition, we take up the goal of introducing a range of perspectives to AERA members. In the decade since the publication of the second edition, the landscape of educational research methods continues to undergo extraordinary change. A panoply of new quantitative approaches for addressing complex educational phenomena has been developed e. These approaches parallel progress in new theoretical and philosophical traditions that represent different ways of knowing e.
Today, it is virtually impossible for any one approach to be used to address the complex issues being explored through research in education. Further, no longer is it a question of alternative research traditions the concern of Jaeger in but of which approaches are appropriate to the questions under study and which can be productively combined within a program of research. The principles guiding the process of bringing different theoretical perspectives and research approaches together, however, are not well developed.
In framing this forum around these issues, leaders of these major research organizations, each with interests and areas of research in education, suggested that the issue of bringing different traditions together is not solely the task of the individual researcher or research team. It is a problem for the fields that engage in research in and on education. Today, there are no commonly agreed to guidelines for use of multiple methodologies in particular projects, although some disciplines e.
What is evident, however, is that the challenge facing those seeking to use different theoretical, not merely alternative methods, is to identify which can be productively brought together--for what purpose s , in what ways, and on what scale--to explore which phenomena. In this edition of CMRE, these issues are raised in a number of chapters, including one specifically addressing the design of mixed methods by M.
However, when the chapters focusing on programs of research are examined, the issue of different approaches becomes more visible, when the phenomenon under study becomes the focus, not the method itself. Even in these chapters, however, the methods are most often used to address different questions and less frequently used in complementary ways.
This observation suggests that the answer to what constitutes complementarity among methods or what relationships need to exist for methods to be defined as complementary, rather than merely mixed, is an area that needs careful discussion and debate.
This issue is not a problem for education alone. Across disciplines, issues of complementarity have been explored for varying lengths of time. What became evident in our exploration of these concepts across disciplines is that central to most definitions is the concept of relationships between two or more phenomena. These debates focus on both the complementarity of phenomena understudy and methods used to study them, supporting the argument that theory-method relationships are critical to understanding and defining what is complementary about complementary methods.
In the first two editions, as suggested previously, complementary methods referred primarily to alternative methods. As education researchers, we need to explore which of the complex phenomena that we are examining or assessing is complementary, and if they are related, what the nature of that relationship is.
The chapters in this volume provide historical and conceptual information about what each method is designed to explore, the nature of the phenomena involved, and the questions each can address. As such, they lay the foundation for exploring which approaches might be productively brought together to study a common phenomenon, and which might be juxtaposed to make visible similarities, differences and complementarities between phenomena.
Further, they provide a basis for understanding the level of scale for which the method was designed, and how one level of scale sheds light on particular aspects of the phenomena, while masking others. The inclusion of chapters on Philosophic Issues in Educational Research Bredo , Epistemology and Educational Research Kelly , and The Ethics of Educational Research Strike lays a foundation for the discussion and debates about what it means to claim that two methods are complementary, and how we can understand and study complementary phenomena within complex educational phenomena.
These chapters identify ways in which such dialogues can be undertaken and the theoretical issues that need to be addressed in order to shape new and dynamic understandings of the purposes, goals, approaches, claims, and outcomes of research into the complex educational processes facing students and their teachers, school systems, families and communities in the 21st Century.
Programs of Research-Part III examines how research programs connected to eight specific lines of inquiry have evolved over time. These chapters examine phenomena such as classroom interaction; language research; issues of race, culture, and difference; policy analysis; program evaluation; student learning; and teacher education. Complementary Methods-As the title suggests, a central mission of this book is to explore the compatibility of different research methods.
