Congratulations Rhonda Mitchell-Barrett who will receive her doctorate in January
Her thesis was based on an analysis of the Storyline method in primary school; its theoretical underpinnings and its impact on pupils’ intrinsic motivation. This study explored the relationship between the Scottish Storyline teaching method and pupils’ levels of motivation when engaged in a Storyline topic. It also examined the theoretical underpinnings for Storyline drawn from constructivism, progressive education, drama methodology and intrinsic motivation.
