Facilitating Student and Teacher Outcomes by Supporting Autonomy: Innovations and Implementation in the Field

Fri, April 17, 4:05 to 6:05pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium is intended to help researchers and practitioners understand the potential uses, benefits, and factors that enhance or mitigate the effects of autonomy support in educational settings by synthesizing extensive field-based evidence and highlighting recent efforts to implement autonomy support at schools. This symposium assembles five presentations using a diverse set of research approaches (meta-analysis, field experimentation, training interventions, observation) across a variety of educational settings (e.g., Montessori, traditional) and distinct cultures (Korea, USA, Peru) to broaden understanding of autonomy relevant education and how it could be used to bring about benefits for students and teachers. Discussion will include critical directions for future research, policy, and practice.
