Dissertation - “An Action Research Study Exploring the Implementation of Discussion Pedagogy in Support of Student Autonomy in Advanced Placement Courses.” under the direction of Dr. John Lee.

Abstract - While the purpose of social studies is to prepare students for civic life, there exists an over reliance of teacher-centered, motivationally controlling methods of instruction utilized in even the most advanced secondary-level social studies courses. These methods and educational practices are creating learning environments in which students experience varying degrees of passivity and subordination. In this project, an alternative approach to AP social studies courses was explored as a way to address the discord between rhetoric and reality existent in advanced social studies education courses. This action research study sought to explore how the use of discussion pedagogy could be employed to create an intersection among the purpose of social studies, the goals of AP courses, and the role of student autonomy in classroom learning environments.
