AB  - In educational sciences, 90s were the scene of theparadigmatic wars, as the researchers of quantitative or qualitative researchonly defended the ideas of the type of research they used and they constantlycriticized the counter-paradigm. While this struggle is going on, mixed methodresearch has emerged, a pragmatist approach that believes both methods ofresearch are necessary and useful, and that these two methods can be usedtogether when the research problem requires. In the 2000s, numerous studies onmixed method research have led this approach to be accepted as a thirdparadigm. From this history to the present, many studies have been carried outon this topic, from the philosophy of the mixed method to the genres, from themethodological substructure to the stages. Presenting a theoreticalperspective, this study aims to scrutinize mixed method research with a specialemphasis on its philosophical development and models. The weaknesses andstrengths of mixed method as a research paradigm are also touched upon.Finally, its use in educational sciences and future directions regarding thedevelopment of this research method are discussed.
