Limitations
According to the criteria determined at the beginning of the study, 27 mixed research articles were examined. In addition, the 37-item rubric, which was originally prepared to examine all parts of an article, was divided into two due to difficulties in reporting, publishing, and intelligibility.
The study was limited to only the abstract and introduction parts. Although it is thought that the basic philosophy is mentioned in the introduction part in scientific studies, the philosophy on which the study is based can be mentioned in other parts of the research. For example, in the introduction to A22, the conceptual framework is not reported as taking into account the characteristics of pragmatism. The same study, in the method part, mentioned the characteristics of pragmatism. Therefore, it would be a wrong or incomplete practice to decide whether to reflect the characteristics of pragmatism by looking only at the abstract and introduction part of the study.
