Research in Special Needs Education: Objectivity or Ideology?
Gray, David E.; Denicolo, Pam
British Journal of Special Education, v25 n3 p140-45 Sep 1998
Argues that assumptions of the empirical-analytic paradigm that social-science research is objective may be flawed, and researchers need to be aware of the political and ideological influences in research on special-needs education. An alternative model is offered which challenges the "normalization" approach to teaching students with special needs. (Author/DB)
