Making Difficulties: Research and the Construction of SEN

by Len Barton (Editor), Len Barton (Editor), Peter Clough (Editor), Len Barton (Editor)

Synopsis

'The book provides a fascinating and important source for the discussion of ways in which research in special needs education could and should proceed' - Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities 'The writers manage to convey their genuine enthusiasm and their determination that their research should be of practical use' - Management in Education The research stories in Making Difficulties attempt to be critical, self-conscious and change-orientated. They are drawn from a number of practitioner-bases, a variety of cultural and institutional contexts and represent a range of topics and styles of enquiry. Each chapter explores the constructions of SEN at work in the given project, explores the dilemmas and insights involved in the research and - above all - shows something of the engagement of the researcher in the work.
