- Summary:
- This dissertation study is designed as qualitative practitioner research that inductively explores middle school students' emic understandings, language, and conceptions of their own identities. The purpose is to understand the nature and range of connections between the social identity development of middle schoolers and contextualized in relation to their Lasallian middle school context and influence. This school-based study seeks to explore how eighth graders make sense of their social identities as they navigate adolescence, middle school, and their multiple worlds utilizing Social Identity Theory as a theoretical framework. Data was collected through individual semi-structured interviews with eleven eighth grade students and a conversation circle with six of the participants. The findings from this research will uplift student voice, emphasize student agency, and identify practices and policies influencing the school culture and climate that support healthy adolescent identity development.
