A brief history. Formative period ; Paradigm debate period ; Procedural developments ; Recent indicators of interest -- Examining preliminary considerations. Consider worldview stances. Different worldviews or paradigms ; Worldviews and mixed methods research. Stance 1. There is one "best" paradigm or worldview that fits mixed methods research ; Stance 2.
