Education  Assignment 2: Course Project Component— Research Topic

Assignment 2: Course Project Component— Research TopicThe Course Project: Assessment of Student Learning: Utilizing Single-Subject Design Assignment will provide you with an opportunity to create a research design using one of the most common approaches to research in special education—single-subject. Single-subject research is a particular area of expertise for researchers in the field of special education. You will develop a single-subject research design appropriate for the field of special education, which will include A-B-A-B, multiple baselines, and modified single-subject designs.Note: You will not perform or conduct research for the Course Project: Assessment of Student Learning: Utilizing Single-Subject Design Assignment. Your task is to design, not conduct, a single-subject study.To prepare:· Review the module Learning Resources, in particular, the O’Neill, et. al. (2011) text and note the topics that are studied and the examples explored.· Review the Course Project: Assessment of Student Learning: Utilizing Single-Subject Design Assignment instructions and rubric in Module for details on this assignment. Think about the special education topic around which you would like to design a single-subject study.Note: Your topic must be a single-subject design. Specifically review Chapters 1, 3, and 4 in the O’Neill, et al. (2011) text for guidance and examples.A less than 1 page draft research topic** Research topic should be on Special Education**Please use learning resources as well as outside resourcesLearning ResourcesO’Neill, R.

Educational Sciences: Theory & Practice, 12(1), 345–351.Retrieved from the Walden Library databases.Focus on the multiple-probe design. Note the approach to single-subject research. Pay specific attention to the interpretation to findings.Aykut, C. (2012).

Educational Sciences: Theory & Practice, 12(1), 366–373.Retrieved from the Walden Library databases.Focus on the adapted alternating treatment design. Note that two prompt procedures were evaluated in this study. Consider how this differs from an A-B design.Jimenez, B. A., Browder, D. M., Spooner, F., & Diabiase, W. (2012). Inclusive inquiry science using peer-mediated embedded instruction for students with moderate intellectual disability.
