Synopsis
The authors recognize that there are tensions, especially the difficulty of validating research on small varied populations in a wide range of schools, community, and other settings. The book will help readers to critically evaluate the implications of research reports for their own practice and will enable them to:
- Access research in learning difficulties, drawing on other disciplines
- Understand different types of research methodology and their strengths and limitations
- Examine the constraints on methodology because of the characteristics of the field
- Understand the particular issues of small-scale research and participatory research
- Explore new methodologies that are developing in the field
