The result of research on DytectiveU application and its contribution to the reading-writing process in children with dyslexia is offered. An explanatory-descriptive research was developed, with the use of quantitative and qualitative methods to explore the reading-writing process mediated by technologies of the education. It was found that the DytectiveU application offers multiple actions to learn to read and write, during the learning of children with dyslexia. It concludes that the DytectiveU application reveals potentialities to develop the literacy process in children with dyslexia, as well as the reasons that lead to its use in the teaching-learning process of Basic Education.

This chapter outlines the immediate context and parameters of the study that informs the book, including the research design adopted to establish validity and investigate the key social and linguistic questions identified in previous chapters. It firstly provides a succinct overview of GME in Scotland, outlining the system’s growth and identifying the expectations of parents and practitioners in its earliest years, before situating the present research within the wider experience of GME in Scotland. It subsequently summarises the overall design of the research, which employs both quantitative and qualitative methods. Semi-structured interviews and an online questionnaire are employed to examine language use and attitudes and facilitate data triangulation of research results. The chapter then outlines and describes the pool of participants among whom the research is conducted. Lastly, it describes the various methods used to contact this group, and to analyse the quantitative and qualitative datasets. The chapter will discuss how the dual qualitative analytic focus on discourse content and form contributes to the validity of the analysis, by delving below the surface semantics of speech acts to consider speakers’ pragmatic meanings holistically.

The study investigated the relationship between body mass index and self-concept among adolescent black female university students. The study used a mixed research design (quantitative and qualitative methods). Media images of handsome faces and beautiful bodies are used to sell almost everything, from clothes and cosmetic to luncheon, meats, and so on. These images reinforce the western cultural stereotype that women should be thin and shapely to be attractive. Thus, as some girls go through puberty they may become dissatisfied with their weight, and to a lesser extent, with their shape, thus, developing low self-concept or imae of themselves. It is in this context that the study was conceptualised.

Accounting research has a speculative and normative tradition. Starting at the beginning of the 1970s, empirical methodologies gained prominence and the boundaries of accounting disciplines have become uncertain. Quantitative and qualitative methods tend to overwhelm the accounting and business objects; often they are only suitable to deal with past and narrow phenomena. Empirical methodologies need reference theories, coming from other disciplines and particularly economics and sociology. In this context, it is questioned if accounting research does exist anymore and if it is relevant to the business world. Some scholars have begun to wonder whether it would be appropriate to revalue normative approaches in order to conduct a type of research which is useful to the society and allows the preservation of specific accounting knowledge. A necessity emerges to come back to the prominence of business and accounting issues over methodologies and sociological theories. Research should be directed to tackle wide and current phenomena, not just the narrow and past ones. Speculative thinking has to be reassessed and empirical findings should be used to strengthen it as starting premises. Explaining phenomena is not enough; empirical research has to go beyond its findings; the emphasis should be shifted to the drawing of policy recommendations.

This article discusses the reading cognitive ability in Malay Language learning among remedial education children. The cognitive ability among these children was tested based on several reading aspects which include the skills of recognizing or detecting, understanding, and applying as outlined in Bloom’s Taxonomy. This research utilized both the quantitative and qualitative methods in collecting the data. The subjects selected involved eight Standard Three students who were undergoing the remedial class in Puchong, Selangor. The instruments used included both oral and non-oral tests. The research findings indicate that the ability to apply appears to be the most acquired cognitive skill among the subjects (99.58%), followed by the abilities to understand (95.36%), and to remember (95.8%). These findings portray that special remedial children’s cognitive ability level is not only measured from the aspect of reading fluency, but also their abilities in recognizing letters, understanding letter sounds, and applying grammar skills.
