TL;DR: A systematic review of research methods and techniques used in qualitative and quantitative education, and some of the approaches taken, found that qualitative research is more effective than quantitative research on a number of fronts.

TL;DR: A series of factor analyses of the ratings for 75 evaluative methodological features reveals a multidimensional structure underlying the evaluations, which appears to become more elaborate as research progresses toward completion.
Abstract: This paper reports the development and application of a method for evaluating the methodology of social science research. In this study, 11 social scientists rated the methodology of 126 federally sponsored, social science research projects. Written documentation from each research project was divided into three packets, representing three stages of the research process: proposal, interim report, and completed research. Each project was independently rated at each of the three stages by two different reviewers, using a comprehensive methodology review instrument created for this purpose. A series of factor analyses of the ratingsfor 75 evaluative methodological features reveals a multidimensional structure underlying the evaluations. This structure appears to become more elaborate as research progresses toward completion. The implications of the structuring of methodological assessments are discussed for research funding procedures, research monitoring, the conduct of research, and the training of social ...

TL;DR: This article examined the contributions of fieldwork to survey research in the study of black anti-Semitism and called for a new style of research where both methods become the common mode of study.
Abstract: This paper directs its attention to a study of interminority hostility by joining two competing methodological traditions — fieldwork and survey research. I examine the following contributions of fieldwork to survey research in the study of black anti-Semitism: (a) selecting a suitable research site and sampling strategy, (b) generating theoretical clues, (c) garnering clues for data collection, and (d) analysis of data. In so doing, I am calling for a new style of research where both methods become the common mode of study.
