Title: Sense of Place: A Qualitative Study of Pedagogical Decision Making in a Wilderness Setting
Creator
Subject: Place attachment.
Description: Have you ever felt an emotional, spiritual, or physical attachment to a certain place? It could be your home town, a favorite vacation spot, where you proposed to your spouse, or any area that has left an impact on how you live your life. That feeling or relationship that you have with a physical location is a sense of place. In this qualitative study I explore how my sense of place in the wilderness can help me make effective pedagogical decisions that will help my students develop a strong sense of place in the future. This study is focuses on my sense of place, but the outlets that I use to explore this phenomenon are common in the realm of qualitative research. The problem that I define, literature review, research method description, data collection, and data analysis provide real world examples of sense of place experiences and their characteristics, as well as a thorough study of my personal experiences with a sense of place and some ideas of how I will use those experiences to influence others' in the future., Honors Thesis Advisor, Dr. J.
