Zuna, Nina I.; Turnbull, Ann; Summers, Jean Ann – Journal of Policy and Practice in Intellectual Disabilities, 2009
Noting the absence of sound theoretical underpinnings for family quality of life (FQoL) research and work, the authors note that, to guide FQoL practice, research findings must be schematically organized so as to enable practitioners to implement empirical findings effectively. One way to meet this goal is to introduce a theoretical model that…

Duffy, Thomas M.; Raymer, Pamela L. – Educational Technology, 2010
This article focuses on the practical issues in implementing instructional approaches based on constructivist views of learning. The authors do not view this as a procedural guide, but rather believe that the design of these inquiry based learning (IBL) approaches must be guided by the view of learning represented in constructivist frameworks.…
