The following Master of Education thesis examines the use of respectful inquiry in high school classroom use through curriculum development. |
| Abstract |
Student academic success is driven by motivation, which is influenced by locus of control, perceptions of autonomy and efficacy, and by relationships developed in school. Student motivation can be enhanced by fulfilling the psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness as determined by Self-Determination Theory (SDT). These psychological needs can be met in a school setting if teachers will engage in Respectful Inquiry (RI), a motivational strategy that calls for asking open questions and then listening attentively to student feedback. This paper brings light to the research behind student motivation, identifies the need for a formal curriculum to educate teachers on the RI framework, discusses how that curriculum was built, and reflects on insights gained from experienced educators who evaluated the curriculum. |
