Incorporating Qualitative Evidence in Systematic Reviews: Strategies and Challenges Mixed methods in evaluation have the potential to enhance the credibility of evaluation and the outcomes of evaluation. This issue explores advances in understanding mixed methods in philosophical, theoretical, and methodological terms and presents specific illustrations of the application of these concepts in evaluation practice. Leading thinkers in the mixed methods evaluation community provide frameworks and strategies that are associated with improving the probability of reaching the goals of enhanced credibility for evaluations, the evidence they produce, and the actions taken as a resNew directions for evaluation ;no. 138.EvaluationMethodologyMixed methods researchEvaluationMethodology.Mixed methods research.001.4Mertens Donna M1490112Hesse-Biber Sharlene Nagy1490113MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779765403321Mixed methods and credibility of evidence in evaluation3711267UNINA04214nam 2200553 450 991078665860332120230803203523.01-118-90830-91-118-90829-5(CKB)3710000000167927(EBL)1729074(MiAaPQ)EBC1729074(Au-PeEL)EBL1729074(CaPaEBR)ebr11196963(OCoLC)883570091(EXLCZ)99371000000016792720160817h20142014 uy 0engur|n|---|||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierEssentials of radiation heat transfer /C.

All concepts are reinforced by carefully chosen and fully worked examples, and exercise problems are provided at the end of every chapter. In a significant departure from other books on this subject, this book completely dispenses with the network method to solve problems of radiation heat transfer in surfaces.
