“…There is no space here to elaborate on the significance of viewing social dynamics in terms of behaviour settings (Wicker 1979;Schoggen and Schoggen 1980). It will suffice to note that all human activity takes place in timespace units, the boundaries of which can readily be identified, and that a very large part of activity takes place in behaviour settings which are stable, Downloaded by [University of Exeter] at 02:37 15 July 2015 repetitive, and regular in their occurrence.…”

Une enquete s'etalant sur une longue periode de temps qui se concentre sur les contextes des activites politiques dans un petit centre administratif de la region des arachides au Senegal revele des interpretations contradictoires de l'echec de la politique gouvemementale dans le domaine de ]'augmentation de la production agricole. L'analyse des etablissements de comportements montre que les genres de participation politique couvrant la periode entre 1964 et 1983 servent a maintenir le style colonial de ]'accumulation economique tout en permettant aux agences gouvernementales et aux negociants prives de remplacer le reseau commercial colonial. I1 existe de nouvelles formes de participation politique, mais elles ne suffisent pas a changer le style d'accumulation economique et de pouvoir politique. Les pro· ducteurs ne peuvent pas faire face aux conflits sociaux et culturels entraines par les nouvelles pratiques de production.

This paper addresses the conditions under which quantitative and qualitative research methods could be combined in special education. The paper asserts that qualitative designs have not had a significant effect on special education research and speculates that mixed-method research might be more acceptable to special education researchers or editors than studies 4sing only qualitative methods. The methodological characteristics of each approach to research are described. Strategies for mixing quantitative and qualitative research methods are discussed. The work of Robert Yin, who has described ways in which quantitative data can be embedded in case studies, is examined. The use of mixed-methods in educational evaluation is addressed, and the special case of single-subject research is analyzed. Several examples of the integration of qualitative and quantitative methods are then described. The paper concludes with a discussion of the need for and viability of mixed-method research in early intervention. This conclusion argues that mixed-method research is needed for both philosophical and pragmatic reasons, but that it is important not to let mixed-method designs excuse researchers from following the principles or rules of each method. Mixing methods generates the possibility of creating a higher standard of research which would take into account the complexity of the organism, the environment, and the intervention, as well as different perspectives on the purpose of research.
