The Importance Of Research

1) Research (McMillan, 2012, pp. 5)

a. Research is the process in which data in collected and then observed and explained.

b. Research is an important foundation in everyone’s life not just my work. It will be useful to my field because it helps me gain some background knowledge on new techniques that other people have tried and gives me insight on maybe things that aren’t as successful with students who have disabilities which I can then stay away from.

4) Theory (McMillan, 2012, pp. 7)

5) Generalizability (McMillan, 2012, pp. 10)

a. Generalizability is being able to use the information that is collected in one research and seeing if you would be able to apply the findings/results with other groups of
