ABSTRACT
The recent move towards inclusive education has radically influenced the way educational research is conducted. Students need to become aware of the critical legal and ethical responsibilities that arise from investigation in this new and expanding area.
Written from the standpoint of inclusive education, rather than 'special education', this carefully edited collection of readings from a wide variety of sources, will develop the student's ability to:
* identify and respond to ethical dilemmas that occur within their particular research methodologies and settings.
* respond appropriately to the myriad of complex legal issues that are pertinent to their own work
The contributions to this book draw upon examples of inclusive practices from around the world. Students taking postgraduate courses or diplomas in Inclusive education will find this an invaluable read.
