The triangular design requires a large amount of effort and expertise due to collection of data simultaneously and that equal emphasis is often placed on each data type (Creswell, 2007). Despite its disadvantages, the triangular design was still carefully chosen due to its efficiency as both qualitative and quantitative data are collected during one part of the research study at almost similar timing. Afterwards, each form of data can be collected and analyzed on individually utilizing different techniques linked to each data type (Creswell, 2007). All in all, the advantages of the methodology outweigh the disadvantages of the methodology due to the effectiveness of combining strengths of both qualitative and quantitative methods to allow researchers to gain substantial information to best understand the investigated

  • Literature Review On Inclusive Education

    968 Words  | 4 Pages

    According to UNESCO, inclusive education is a process of addressing and responding to the diverse needs of all children by increasing participation in learning and reducing exclusion within and from education (Nguyet and Ha 2010). Inclusive education is a process of increasing the presence, participation and achievement of all learners (Booth and Ainscow 2002). The process involves mainstreaming children with special educational needs into regular classroom settings, allowing them to learn side by side with their peers without disabilities. Inclusive education implies that children with special educational needs have to attend mainstream schools they would have attended if they did not have a disability. Mainstreaming children with special needs education has a positive impact on both social and academic learning for children with and without special needs (Farrell 2000).
