The first step is to define or convey the nature of a mixed methods study since it is relatively new in the field social and human sciences. Based on findings, 3-day PD collaboration modules between general education and special education teachers were developed. This final chapter by Creswell deals with designing a procedure for a mixed methods study. Study results can be used to inform leadership regarding PD opportunities to support general education teachers and SNL. Data from the document analysis indicated a gap in plans for improvement specific to inclusive settings. Findings suggest teachers and administration perceive a lack of preparation for implementing inclusion and there is a need for improved collaboration. Inductively coded and themed data were compared and analyzed through HyperRESEARCH computer assisted qualitative data analysis software. (HyperRESEARCH) whose demonstration mode should be sufficient for many student projects.
Schutt (2003 Making Sense of the Social World: Methods of Investigation. A qualitative case study design was applied within a purposeful sample of 5 general education teachers participating in a focus group, 1 administrator respondent for a semi structured interview, and a site improvement document analysis review. Review of:Chambliss, Daniel F and Russell K. Research questions explored the perceptions regarding methodology used to implement inclusion, barriers or facilitators of the implementation process, and how inclusion affects the attitude and self-efficacy of general education teachers when teaching SNL. Using Bandura's theory of self-efficacy as a framework, the purpose of this study was to explore perceptions toward factors for implementing successful inclusion in a high performing school. Special needs learners (SNL) under-perform on state benchmark measurements despite the efforts of general education teachers to implement inclusion effectively.
