Special Education Critique and Limitations Cited by...

Critique and Limitations Cited by Researchers The studies reviewed were qualitative in nature, therefore they are considered subjective. Berry (2008) made a statement regarding author bias noting the inherent weakness of qualitative analysis. The author sought to counter this weakness by quantifying test units through the use of computer software programs. Both Cook et al. (2007) and Gojkovic (2007) suggest future validation of the rating scale should involve observation of student-teacher interactions. They also suggest rewording the prompts in order to yield greater variance in the teacher ratings. Further research opportunities are also used to determine the reasons for teacher ratings of indifference toward included students†¦show more content†¦In one study, Carter et al. (2009) noted that the teachers they interviewed and observed were trained to use a specific model for collaborative teaching. Since all teachers were trained in this model, and required to implement it in their classrooms, teachers showed a bias toward the model in place. This skewed information towards the use of one particular method of teaching special education students. Critique and Limitations Noted by Group Members One important limitation of the research reviewed was location; it was also found that small sample size is also a hindrance on accuracy of research. Because many authors (Smith Smith, 2000; Carter et al.,2009; Burke Sutherland, 2004) only used teachers and students in one area or one school, the sample of participants was also very limited. Teachers who have worked with other teachers for several years can influence each other’s views, so it would seem logical that teachers in common areas had common views. Short and Martin (2005) performed research in one high school in a rural area of the United States. Their findings were limited to the teachers in that particular school; findings showed many of the general education teachers had shared negative views on including special education students in a general education class. Similar findings were also noted inShow MoreRelatedFixed Time Reinforcement For Challenging Behaviors1854 Words   |  8 Pages Fixed-Time Reinforcement for Challenging Behaviors Article Critique Beth H.

Often, consumers mistakenly believe that if a research report was accepted for publication then the study must be sound. Unfortunately, this is not necessarily the case. Indeed most research will have limitations and weaknesses and, for this reason, no single study can provide unchallengeable answers to research questions (Polit and Hungler, 1997).

Tannenbaum was among the early labeling theorists. His main concept was the dramatization of evil. He argued that the process of tagging, defining, identifying, segregating, describing, and emphasizing any individual out for special treatment becomes a way of stimulating, suggesting, and evoking the very traits that are complained of. A person becomes the thing they are described as being.
