Pragmatist research design is a mixed research approach that combines both qualitative and quantitative methods in order to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the research problem. It seeks to determine what works in practical terms by using multiple methods to gather data and analyzing it in order to arrive at meaningful conclusions. Pragmatist research design is particularly useful in complex situations where a single method may not offer a complete answer or where one method must be supplemented by another to achieve a fuller understanding of the issue at hand. It is a flexible approach that allows researchers to tailor their methods appropriately to the research question and context.
