C226 Task 2 and C226 Task 1

Research Design and Analysis (C226)

Research Purpose and Research Questions
The purpose of this study was to look at the observations from ten first year teachers who had been “trained to provide evidence-based practices, including integrated services and supports,” but took jobs in self-contained special education classrooms for students with moderate to severe disabilities. These jobs were in elementary and middle-school classrooms. (Gee & Gerdin, 2018) The research question of the study was, “What are the experiences of 10
first-year teachers who graduated from a teacher preparation program emphasizing evidencebased, inclusive practices, but took jobs in separate, special education classrooms designated for students with moderate/severe and/or multiple disabilities?” (Gee & Gerdin, 2018) In the qualitative study, the researchers wanted to know the experiences of the teachers who were prepared in an inclusion based teaching program but ended up taking jobs in self-contained special education classrooms.
