Implementation Science Research and Special Education

Special Education Research Advances Knowledge in Education

Research in special education has yielded beneficial outcomes for students with disabilities as well as typical achieving students. The authors provide examples of the valuable knowledge special education research has generated, including the elements of response to intervention (e.g., screening and progress monitoring), instructional practices such as systematic instruction and feedback, and i...

Curriculum and methods research in special education

More than 15 years ago, we concluded that the preparation of teachers remains an unstudied problem in education (Sarason, Davidson, and Blatt, 1961). We later concluded that it is unsatisfac­ torily studied for the same reasons that curriculum and methods research is of little consequence, inadequate because for the most part their basic underpinnings are inadequate (Blatt and Garfunkel, 1973);...

Special Issue: State of the Art Reviews in Membrane Science and Research

Advances in Applying Treatment Integrity Research for Dissemination and Implementation Science: Introduction to Special Issue.

This special series focuses upon the ways in which research on treatment integrity, a multidimensional construct including assessment of the content and quality of a psychosocial treatment delivered to a client as well as relational elements, can inform dissemination and implementation science. The five articles for this special series illustrate how treatment integrity concepts and methods can...

Constructivism and Non-Western Science Education Research

In this paper, I argue that science education research and curriculum development efforts in Nonwestern countries can benefit by adopting a constructivist view of science and science learning. The past efforts at transferring curricula from the West, and local development projects that result in curricula only marginally different from Western curricula, stem from an acultural view of science. ...
