Education.

Paper details

Effective researchers in the field of special education are acutely aware of the challenges inherent in their investigations. Working with children with

exceptionalities brings with it particularly important responsibilities. These responsibilities include careful attention to the treatment of subjects, validity, and

the use of results. Theories must be studied using a robust measurement of appropriate variables and a respective statistical analysis.
To prepare for this Assignment, carefully review the required articles and information in the Rumrill text. Pay particular attention to the types of challenges facing

the field of special education and how they may be addressed with valid measurement, theory, and study.
Assignment Directions
1. Challenges to research practices in special education.
Describe the challenges posed to those who design, implement, and utilize the results of research in the field of special education.
2. The purpose of measurement in special education.
Describe the important role and purpose of measurement in supporting valid research in special education.
3. The role of theory and effective practices.
Indicate the importance of a clearly articulate theory in providing a foundation from which to conduct research and identify effective practices.
4. Identification of variables.
Describe the importance of, and process for, identifying research variables.
5. Statistical methods used in special education.
Indicate the role of specific methods of statistical analysis, and their importance in conducting valid research in special education.
Cite the text, articles, and other current peer reviewed research in support of your position. Be specific, and provide examples. Remember to use APA format in

completing this Assignment.

LTD.
o Chapter 1, “Introduction to Research in Special Education” (pp. 3–17)

Focus on the elements of research that are common across studies in the field of education. Also pay particular attention to characteristics of research that are

unique to special education. Note challenges to the science of special education.
o Chapter 2, “Getting Started in Special Education Research—Variables, Research Questions, and Hypotheses” (pp. 18–37)

Focus on research questions, identification of variables, theory, and sampling. Review sources of research ideas. Consider the various types of sampling procedures and

the variety of variable types.

Education

Paper details:
Coping emotionally with a physical or multiple physical disabilities or other health impairment often presents major barriers for some students. Maintaining a sense of belonging can be difficult for a student who must frequently leave the classroom to participate in a therapeutic session or other health care routine. Sometimes students require the use of assistive equipment and specialized protocols. This may disrupt access to same age/grade peer relationships. As educators we provide and plan for inclusive and equitable opportunities. The degree of disability impact does not equate to non-inclusion. We are obligation to determine the LRE for all learners eligible for special education services. With this week’s readings and the above concepts in mind, in your discussion board post answer the following questions: What role and responsibility does the special education teacher play in creating an inclusive environment in the classroom in the age/grade appropriate general education classroom? Based on your readings and experience, what do you think both special education and general education teachers should do to help same-age typical peers and other school personnel become more knowledgeable of the equitable rights and access to the general education curriculum? Support your statements with evidence from the required studies and your research.
