The Use of Triangulation Methods in Qualitative Educational Research
Oliver-Hoyo, Maria; Allen, DeeDee
Journal of College Science Teaching, v35 n4 p42-47 Jan-Feb 2006
Triangulation involves the careful reviewing of data collected through different methods in order to achieve a more accurate and valid estimate of qualitative results for a particular construct. This paper describes how we used three qualitative methods of data collection to study attitudes of students toward graphing, hands-on activities, and cooperative grouping techniques using the triangulation method. (Contains 1 figure and 9 tables.)
