Advancing Mixed Methods Special Education Research
Sat, April 9, 8:15 to 10:15am, Marriott Marquis, Floor: Level Two, Marquis Salon 3Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
Although mixed methods research (MMR) has been used within special education, a review of the literature indicates that MMR is underutilized in the field. This represents a substantial gap since intervention work in special education often requires a deep understand of context. For example, there is often a need to conduct research with small numbers of students with disabilities where knowing the context increases the ability to generalize the findings to particular practitioner settings. In general, inquiry into such areas as policy development, professional training, assessment, and evaluation can benefit from MMR. This symposium will include six presentations covering different facets of applying MMR designs to special education inquiry. Papers range from MMR question development to presenting applied examples.
