`The authors provide a guide which points the reader to sources
that can engage more deeply with the issues raised and, as such, is
a useful resource for anyone wanting to know more about researching
learning difficulties' - British Journal of Special Education 'This
book is highly recommended and endorsed. It celebrates the
diversity of work that is currently undertaken in the field of
learning difficulties with a concern to enable people working
within different spheres of activity to share something of their
work to contribute to the bigger picture. 'As part of an academic,
school or staff development resource library this book will aid,
stimulate and focus researchers at all levels to hone their
selected methods, evaluate results and critically judge qualitative
and quantitative data' - Special Children `This timely book,
written in a highly accessible way... provides a coherent basis for
users as well as practitioners, of research involving children and
young people with learning difficulties' - Ann Lewis, Professor of
Special Education and Educational Psychology, University of
Birmingham. This book is for researchers, teachers and other
professionals working with children and people with learning
difficulties. It 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 how researchers must consider the constraints on
methodology because of the characteristics of the field - and
understand the particular issues of small-scale research and
participatory research - explore new methodologies that are
developing in the field 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. This book
is for researchers, teachers and professionals: - in specialist and
inclusive community and educational settings - following courses of
continuing professional development - doing research (Masters and
Doctorate, Education, Social Sciences, Psychology, Public Policy).
It is relevant to practitioners working with people with learning
difficulties across a range of settings.
