The problem to be studied
The purpose of the study is to discuss the discourse of practices and context in the literature about higher education practitioners and researchers since passing the American with disabilities. Research question: How is research about students with disabilities represented in the four in the top four tiers, in which way has the representation transformed from 1990 to 2014 and what is absent from the discourse in these journals?
Rationale of the study
The presence of articles were 20 out of 2300 published matched the search. The article covered the representation of the students, how the students are perceived as well as what the articles state about them. The article is focused on need and experiences, academic achievement, programs and services and attitudes of the faculty and peer.
Population: The top two ranking peer-reviewed journals in the area of higher learning: The Journal of Higher Education and the Review of Higher Education.
Sample: 20 articles on students with disabilities were identified in higher education.
The type of research that was conducted
The types of research was both quantitative and qualitative, qualitative research was used to gather non-numerical data on concepts, characteristics and description in the discussion of the discourse of practices and context in the literature about higher education practitioners and researchers since passing the American with disabilities. Quantitative aspects of the interests and needs of students with disabilities either absence or visible; Areas of disabilities: Speech, mental development, learning, hearing, general health, orthopedics, psychiatric health, and vision. Quantitative was used to determine the representation of students with disabilities in the four top tiers.
The Data Collection Strategy
The data collection strategy that was used was a survey
The Data Collection tools
70% of the articles about college students with disabilities in top two peer reviewed journals published in the 1990s in comparison to 10% published in 2014. 3/5 studies quantitative data. The method used was survey of the population. It compared students without disabilities and students with disabilities.
Strengths and weaknesses of the research investigations
The main strength of the study is that it used literature review as qualitative and quantitative methods increased the validity of the results of the survey. The use of literature review in data collection could also be a weakness as it does not reflect the real-time updated issues on the ground since it dwells on past accounts. Another weakness is in the research question as it does not exactly aim to quantify the number of educational practitioners and researchers on students with disability.
Summary
This study takes into considerations the article about students with disabilities. The articles were published in top two journals on higher education. One percent of the two journals discussed students with disabilities. The percentage is disproportionate in regard that 10 percent of students enrolled currently in higher learning have disabilities.
A statement that supports my proposed Study
Limited data collection and research has been carried out recently, leaving scarce resources.
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY ACHIEVING HIGHER EDUCATION
Fuller*, M., Bradley, A., & Healey, M. (2014). Incorporating disabled students within an inclusive higher education environment. Disability & Society, 19(5), 455-468.
Problem to be studied
Students with disabilities who wish to attain personal and financial independence should be able to access higher education and overcome academic barriers. Appropriate transition services, access to qualified counselors, accommodations and academic remediation might make a small difference to whether or not students attain higher education success.
Research question: In which ways are the students with disabilities able to attain higher education successfully when there are a lot of undefined variables?
Rationale of the Study
The number of students with disabilities, with higher academic competence and are seeking appropriate accommodations is still increasing. This increase might not represent unknown number of part time students, students transferring from one college to another, students who decide not to identify themselves and students with learning disabilities
Type of research that was carried out
The research that was carried was a mixed method in that quantitative research was used to identify and study the number of students with disability enrolling and studying in the higher education institutions, qualitative research was on the other had used to identify ways in which students with disabilities are able to attain higher education successfully
Date Collection strategy
The data collection strategy that was used is telephone surveys and interviews.
Data analysis tools
Interviews with students using telephone surveys were employed to determine in which ways the managed challenges of higher education adjustments, and how to improve vocational and special education as well as transition program. SPSS was used to analyze the data.
Summary
In summary, Sam, a student with disability reported two essential and key services that led to his academic success. The first was counseling related to traumatic anxiety that stemmed from demoralizing educational experiences. Another service included the language program he received that assisted and taught him to read. Ideally, remediation for basic skills and support from professionals and friends also assisted him to overcome anxiety as well as find solutions to attain his educational goals.
Strengths and weaknesses of the research investigations
Statement that support my proposed study
Educational solutions and educational barriers were identified that make higher education success feasible. Also, the students, who were chosen met that has been well planned for the qualitative research.
TRENDS OF MAJOR, AGE AND TYPE OF DISABILITIES FOR STUDENTS RECEIVING SERVICES
Cortiella, C., & Horowitz, S. H. (2014). The state of learning disabilities: Facts, trends and emerging issues. New York: National center for learning disabilities, 2-45.
Statement of the Problem
The statement of the problem that faculty and administrators of MSU Billings required an analysis and description of the trends of major, age and type of disabilities for students receiving services via Disability Support Services from 2000 to 2014.
Rationale of the Study
The earliest study that identifies students with disabilities in selected public colleges and Universities.
The type of Research Methods
The type of research is qualitative to analyze and describe the trends of age and type of major disabilities for students receiving disability support services between the years 2000 and 2014.
The data collection strategy
Interview with every student after acceptance for services based on mental or medical health documentation of a disability.
The data Analysis Methods
There are two analytical techniques that were employed in the data analysis. For instance, descriptive graphs and data offered an overall perception of the trends from 2000 to 2014. The second technique to data analysis to data analysis employed is descriptive trend analysis basing on events to carry out the analysis of data to understand what occurred with disabilities basing on political, economic and social forces during the period.
Strengths and weaknesses of the research investigations
The strengths of the study included the fact that interviews were used as they are best suited in qualitative surveys, but interviewing students at a particular year could not give the trends on the subject matter unless complemented by other ways of data collection such as literature review; which is one of the weaknesses.
Summary
Based on the data analysis, there was an increase in all type of disabilities categories. However, there was an exception, of the number of college students with movement impairments that reduced during the study period.
Statement that support my proposed article
Descriptions in this particular study incorporated various types of disabilities of students so as to offer insight into several people with severe weakness rather than people with less severe circumstances.
EDUCATION CURRICULUM AND NOT EQUITABLE CURRICULUM
Ennis, C. D. (2017). Creating a culturally relevant curriculum for disengaged girls. Sport, Education and Society, 4(1), 31-49.
Statement of the Problem
Ensure that each student has access to education curriculum and not equitable curriculum via placement in education classrooms is regarded as a problem of social justice.
Rationale of the study
The people with Disabilities Education Act pushes the urge for inclusive instruction. The triumph of laws on the mindset and expertise teachers show in the classroom.
Type of research methods
The type of research method used is qualitative research to gauge the satisfaction levels of students with disabilities with the curriculum based on their experiences..
Data collection strategy
Participants were inquired to give their experiences in response to the questions asked in the interview.
Data Analysis Strategy
A digital audio recorder was employed to record the interview so as to attain accuracy. The digital recording for every interview was stored in a file of audio computer and transcribed. The data collected was analyzed via descriptive coding.
Strengths and weaknesses of the research investigations
The strengths included the fact that data coding was used in data analysis of results obtained from interviews tape recorded as it ensured categorization of data. One of the weaknesses encompass failing to use questionnaires to complement the interviews as some aspects might have been lost due to fear for confidentiality and persona security or stigma that could have otherwise been availed in questionnaires.
Summary
The findings of the study indicate that there exists no one size fitting the models of students with learning disabilities. Those involved in the study demonstrated the idea of services continuum be readily available to meet each student’s needs. The study results give information to be utilized by special education administrator’s, personnel , dismissal, review and admission committees as they try to find the needs of each student such as students with disabilities.
Statement that support my Research Proposal
The research limited qualitative data with education administrators and educational personnel. Future study can incorporate perspectives from other important stakeholders including general education students, parents and teachers.

The Data Analysis Strategy
Formative/ screening processes to enhance individual teaching performance of student and program improvement.
Summary
The mixed methods data offered the areas for improvement in data collection. Whereas reflections are informative, guided reflections might be important to identify areas where candidates need help. Faculty will focus on the reflections of candidates on identified areas in the data and literature obtained from candidates.
Strengths and weaknesses of the research investigations
The use of mixed methods was a strength as qualitative research gave a better reflection of the performance and opinion on the important roles played by novice teachers whereas quantitative availed numerical value performance of the teachers thereby giving the researcher a wide field of view of the subject under study. The weakness was the fact that the data collection strategy as it poses a threat of privacy violation.
Statement that support my Research Proposal
Mixed-methods strategies are suitable as accrediting agencies need data from multiple forms and multiple forms.
