Cultivating a Relationship Among Students and the Natural World: A Grounded Theory Multiple-Case Study
Thu, April 21, 2:30 to 4:00pm PDT (2:30 to 4:00pm PDT), SIG Virtual Rooms, SIG-Spirituality & Education Virtual Roundtable Session RoomAbstract
Abstract
The overall aim of this grounded theory multiple-case study is to better understand how K-12 independent schools (“schools”) in the United States cultivate a connection between children and adolescents (“students”) and the natural world (“environment”) by exploring the interplay between this connection and (1) the school community (“community connectedness”) and (2) personal sense/belief about spirituality. The proposed study will conduct a secondary analysis on data previously collected as part of a parent study. Representative data from 4 of the 20 schools (Cedar Highlands, Mapleton, Tabiona, and Rocky Ridge) in the parent study will be analyzed for the purposes of this grounded theory multiple-case study. Data was collected by conducting one to two-day site visits to each school.
