Wright, Jan – Australian Educational Researcher, 2008
In March 2004, Stephen Ball and others presented a symposium at the conference of the British Educational Research Association (BERA) on the necessity of theory in educational research. Like Ball, I have observed that theory, not just social theory, is a difficult space and one that divides researchers (those comfortable with theory and those less…

Yoder, Paul J. – Journal of Early Intervention, 1990
The empirical support for three theoretical approaches to infant intervention is reviewed, including direct intervention via nonsocial means, direct intervention via social means, and indirect infant intervention via social support to the family. For each approach, underlying theoretical assumptions are identified, and for each assumption,…

Charters, W. W., Jr. – 1975
This conceptual expression of "task interdependence," or role coupling, derived from research of elementary teachers in self-contained schools and team teaching schools, recommends that organizational theory provide clear concepts and measures to capture significant variations among schools. Research, measuring the…

Torgesen, Joseph K. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1988
In response to a previous article, the paper discusses the distinction between basic and applied research, two contributions of applied research to theory concerning learning disabilities, and issues in metatheory development. (DB)

Carlson, Steven A. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1988
In response to a previous article, the paper suggests that solutions to current problems in learning disabilities are not directly dependent upon, and may not be affected by, basic research. The necessity of a coordinated theoretical foundation for research and the wisdom and feasibility of a movement to basic research are discussed. (DB)

Reid, Dennis H. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1991
There should not be an intentional reduction of the technological focus in applied behavior analysis research to expand the theoretical focus. The manner in which applied behavior analysis has beneficially affected the field of developmental disabilities services demonstrates how technologically related research plays a necessary role.

Harris, Karen R. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1988
In response to a previous article, the paper notes additional reasons for the deficit in basic research and theory in learning disabilities, stresses the need for more good systematic research using multiple methods, and suggests that a metatheory for learning disabilities is not yet possible or profitable.

Cheng, Pui-wan – Gifted Child Quarterly, 1993
This article looks at the role of metacognition in various current theoretical conceptions of giftedness and reviews studies linking metacognition to giftedness. It is concluded that theoretical and research support exists for the importance of metacognition in giftedness but that major unresolved issues still persist and should be investigated.…

Siegel, Linda S. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1988
In response to a previous article, the paper stresses that, in addition to theory development, the field of learning disabilities needs to resolve definitional issues involving disability specificity, intelligence, measurement concepts, and the continua of abilities. Suggestions for developing operational definitions of both learning disabilities…

Swanson, H. Lee – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1988
This paper provides a rationale for basic research and metatheory development in the field of learning disabilities, outlines the steps and cognitive parameters involved in validating such a metatheory, and discusses integrating the findings of basic research with instructional manipulations and reasons for the poor integration of theory and…

Kavale, Kenneth A. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1988
This paper affirms H. Lee Swanson's views in "Toward a Metatheroy of Learning Disabilities" and elaborates upon the role of basic research in learning disabilities. An alternative perspective on the nature of applied research is described that views applied research as theoretically driven research aimed at practical matters. (JDD)
