What is Triangulation

1.

The process by which the area under investigation is looked at from different perspectives. These can include two or more methods, sample groups or investigators. It is used to ensure that the understanding of an area is as complete as possible or to confirm interpretation through the comparison of different data sources.

2.

The use of multiple methods, theories, data and/or researchers in the research process. Learn more in: On the Way to Researching Universities: The Case of Higher Education in Turkey

3.

Is a qualitative research strategy to test validity through the convergence of information from different sources. It refers to the use of multiple methods or data sources in qualitative research to develop a comprehensive understanding of phenomena.
