Abstract

For school reform research to have credibility, issues of social validity, treatment integrity, change and collaboration must be considered. When collaboration itself, as in the case of inclusive education for students with disabilities, is the focus of the school-based research, additional issues come into play. The difficulties inherent to conducting research on collaboration, and the subsequent cyclical concerns of needing to have proven research in order to be able to conduct research in schools, will be discussed. In addition, themes related to the effectiveness of research on collaborative efforts will be provided.
