Appalachian Citizen Science Rural Ecological Education Discourse This ethnographic dissertation focuses on the impact of inside and outside learning spaces on the discourse of rural, Appalachian fifth grade children during a five month period. Outside discourse was especially examined during a month-long stream-monitoring unit. The project also focused on how the children’s Appalachian culture influenced their discourse. The theoretical framework of this study was social constructivism. Data for this sociocultural project was gathered through field notes, audiotapes, and informal student interviews with selected students. Secondary data included photographs of the children and the places where the conversations occurred during the data collection in addition to family photographs of the children or family members in or near streams. Data was collected from January through the beginning of June, 2007. A constructivist grounded theory approach to data analysis was utilized during and after the data collection period. This study of a particular group of Appalachian fifth graders led to insights about the dialogic relationship between space, culture, and practices of doing problem-based science. 2007-12-06 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1196959067 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1196959067 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
