Tom O'Donoghue; Tom Farrelly – Irish Educational Studies, 2024
This paper is a critical exposition on three major issues related to 'interpretive research conducted by researchers who claim they engaged in mixed methods' research. First, to provide context, we demonstrate that the term 'mixed' is inappropriate for the research practices usually adopted by its exponents. Secondly, we argue, expositions in…

Truscott, Stephen D.; Truscott, Diane M.; Washington, Michelle L.; McLendon, Katherine E. – Journal of Educational and Psychological Consultation, 2022
The central purpose of school-based consultation is making psychological and educational knowledge accessible to teachers, parents, systems, and communities so that it becomes standard practice. Current research methods based on limited scientific paradigms have not adequately addressed that purpose. Applied research based on engineering is a…

Alavi, Mousa; Archibald, Mandy; McMaster, Rose; Lopez, Violeta; Cleary, Michelle – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2018
When a theoretical framework (and its components) is not clearly linked to research methods, researchers risk designing flawed studies, wherein the stated research question is inconsistent with the research design. Explicitly identifying one's theoretical orientation can provide an orderly schematic for linking observations from separate…

Fox, Nick J.; Alldred, Pam – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2018
We assess the potential for mixing social research methods, based upon a materialist and micropolitical analysis of the research-assemblage and of what individual research techniques and methods do in practice. Applying a DeleuzoGuattarian toolkit of assemblages, affects and capacities, we document what happens when research methods and techniques…

Janette K. Klingner; Alison G. Boardman – Grantee Submission, 2011
At least some of the challenges faced in special education, such as the disproportionate representation of culturally and linguistically diverse students, the gap between research and practice, and inequitable educational opportunities, can be explained in part by a research gap, or, in other words, a failure to conduct the different types of…

Bauer, Korinna; Fischer, Frank – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2007
The question of how the realms of research and practice might successfully relate to one another is a persisting one, and especially so in education. The article takes a fresh look at this issue by using the terminology of collaboration scripts to reflect upon various forms of this relationship. Under this perspective, several approaches towards…

Baudouin, Robert; Bezanson, Lynne; Borgen, Bill; Goyer, Liette; Hiebert, Bryan; Lalande, Vivian; Magnusson, Kris; Michaud, Guylaine; Renald, Celine; Turcotte, Michel – Canadian Journal of Counselling, 2007
The findings from recent Canadian research indicate that while agency managers and front-line workers agree that evaluation is important, they seldom evaluate their work with clients. With the current emphasis on evidence-based practice and outcome-focused intervention, it is important to be able to demonstrate the value of career services in a…

Smith, Patricia L.; Wedman, John F. – Performance Improvement Quarterly, 1988
The read-think-aloud method is a viable alternative to traditional one-to-one trials as an approach to formative evaluation. This procedure provides valuable information about the learner's cognitive processing while reading instructional text. The authors describe the method and offer suggestions for its use. (Author/CH)

This article illustrates (a) 2 recent innovations in the changing criterion research design, (b) how these innovations apply to research and practice in special education, and (c) how clinical needs influence design features of the changing criterion design. The first innovation, the range-bound changing criterion, is a very simple variation of…

Coghlan, David; Pedler, Mike – Action Learning: Research and Practice, 2006
In qualification programmes based on action learning, there has hitherto been little articulation of what is particular to research dissertations undertaken in an action learning mode. This article addresses the questions of what such a dissertation entails and how it can be undertaken, supervised and examined. It discusses some of the foundations…
