Logika Abduksi, Mixed Method Research, Pragmatisme

Abstrak

Penelitian Mixed Methods Research (MMR) menghadapi tantangan dalam mengintegrasikan temuan kuantitatif dan kualitatif, terutama ketika kedua jenis data menghasilkan interpretasi yang saling bertentangan. Meskipun logika abduksi banyak dibahas dalam penelitian kualitatif, perannya sebagai penalaran sistematis dalam menjembatani ketegangan data dan paradigma dalam MMR masih terbatas dikaji. Artikel ini bertujuan menganalisis peran logika abduksi dalam empat model utama MMR, yaitu convergent, sequential, embedded, dan transformative. Melalui pendekatan conceptual review, kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa abduksi berfungsi sebagai mekanisme tafsir konflik data simultan pada model convergent, sebagai penghubung reinterpretasi antar fase pada model sequential, sebagai pemicu kritik terhadap dominasi data utama pada model embedded, serta sebagai lompatan interpretatif untuk membuka ruang emansipasi pada model transformative. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa abduksi memperluas makna hasil penelitian dan memperkuat integrasi metodologis yang reflektif dan kontekstual, khususnya dalam penelitian pendidikan dan kebijakan sosial.
