Abstract

This talk reviews some basic concepts of methodology with a focus on triangulation as a way of combining different methods and strategies in designing empirical research. Quantitative and qualitative research paradigms will be distinguished with reference to their respective epistemological underpinnings and their implications for the research process. I will then propose a threefold conceptualization of research design, strategic approaches and research methods/techniques as a framework for the discussion of triangulation. Following a look at the origins and the evolution of this concept in the quantitative and qualitative research paradigms, I will first discuss multimethod research and then move on to mixed-methods research and review some of the designs and distinctions proposed by its leading advocates. Against this background, I will present examples of triangulatedempirical studies that are taken from my own experience in research design and MA and PhD research supervision.
