Advancing Educational Research with Emerging Technology

Understanding Research in Early Education
by
In this newly revised edition of Understanding Research in Early Education, Margaret Clark demonstrates the continuing relevance of research in the homes of young children and in preschool units. Through rigorous yet understandable language, the text stresses the importance of research, acknowledging how easy it can be, amidst the change and flood of documents on early education and care, to overlook the insights to be gained from past research. The author draws on her own studies, and those of others, to illustrate how to avoid common pitfalls, ask the right questions to inform students' research projects, and critically apply findings in the classroom or nursery. The book is one of the few texts for students to bring research alive, analysing key research to consider its limitations and the extent to which results are relevant to policy and practice.
Disability Studies and the Inclusive Classroom

Beyond accommodation for special education, the aim is an inclusive education system at all levels of learning to include persons with disabilities in the regular classroom. In Inclusive Education, Floyd Morris and his contributors, having both practical and theoretical knowledge, shine the spotlight on the Caribbean and make the case for a broader consideration and approach to education generally.
