(2018) The lived experience of middle school students engaged in student-driven inquiry: A phenomenological study. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This thesis used the phenomenological method to investigate the middle school student lived experience of student-driven inquiry. The results show that the middle school student experiences significant commitment to Student-Driven Inquiry engagement as they independently determine, organize, execute and present on research of personal interest. The student feels notable ownership, responsibility, and stress in the research process and content mastery in preparing worthy work for a broad school community including peers, teachers, administrators, family members, and other interested individuals.
