Mixed methods research plays an important role in understanding and supporting the implementation of inclusive education policies and practices around the world. The aim of this scoping review was to assess the rigour of 66 mixed methods research texts in inclusive education by applying Harrison, Reilly, and Creswell’s (2020 Harrison, R. L., T. M. Reilly, and J. W. Creswell. 2020. “Methodological Rigor in Mixed Methods: An Application in Manageme…
Operationalizing and Expanding the Rigorous Mixed Methods Framework for Systematic Reviews
Rigor evaluation in mixed methods research is a growing need. Linking rigor to Hong and Pluye’s (2019) concepts of methodological and reporting quality, the purpose of this article is to operationalize and expand Harrison et al.’s (2020) Rigorous Mixed Methods Framework. Drawing from a systematic methodological review of 66 inclusive education studies, we (a) operationalize each element of the original framework, and (b) present arguments for two…

Crossover analyses, in which methods typically used with one data type are applied to a different data type, can deepen integration. Using an example from the field of education, this article demonstrates the iterative application of multiple correspond…
