Educational Research: Theory and Practice, v31 n3 p18-35 2020
This descriptive study identified types of articles published, and research designs used, in 37 peer-reviewed special education journals. A total of 4,854 articles published from 2012 through 2017 were examined to determine types of articles and research methods informing policy and practice during the 6-year period and contributing to identification of future research needs. Similar numbers of qualitative designs, single case research designs, and other quantitative designs were implemented with IDEA-eligible individuals identified as deafblind (DB). Fewer than half of these studies identified were intervention studies. Knowing types of articles and research informing the field is needed to understand the evidence underlying our practices and policies. Increased numbers of high-quality intervention studies be conducted to inform the field.
