| Résumé : |
This article seeks to examine some of the issues involved in the evaluation of practice by practitioners themselves. Five questions are posed which represent five different kinds of design suitable for the different purposes of evaluation in each case. For each question, an analysis is made of the problem that the question is addressing, an example is given of the design needed to answer that question, and a further analysis is made of the possible outcomes of the evaluation, suggesting how they may be interpreted. Finally, there is a brief discussion of the issues involved in controlled studies, the ethical issues that arise in research and how participants with autism spectrum disorders may themselves by involved in evaluation. The article makes the point that research should not be an activity carried out by others, using natural settings merely as sources of data, but a process that all practitioners are engaged in at some level. In this way, progress can be made in improving services and the quality of life for people with autism spectrum disorders. |
