Research on Effective Practice and Curriculum for Students withDisabilities

This course provides the opportunity to consider disability in the context of schools and society with view to engaging with, and critiquing, existing research in the fields of special education and disability studies in education (DSE).We will be mindful of how the disposition and paradigm of researchers influences all aspects of their work including: problems identified, questions asked, methods used, analysis employed, findings or results, interpretations, and: implications. This course focuses on the nature of evidence-based practice involving students with disabilities within specific contexts. The course is designed to provide a foundation for the course work, independent scholarship, and educational research that students will undertake in the process of completing the doctoral degree.
