Abstract Details

2019, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Toledo, Foundations of Education: Educational Psychology.
Rural secondary schools are vibrant educational institutions. Their significance and context is discounted in academic literature. The categories of distance and people per square mile used by federal agencies, researchers, and policy makers do not adequately contextualize rural. This theoretical dissertation proposes that rural is more than distance and people per square mile. Specifically, it asks if the idea of a double helix of place and social capital is a justified theoretical framework for exploring and understanding the nature of rural secondary schools. This dissertation proposes an extension of the existing literature on place theory with the addition of social capital. Place and social capital collide, meld, mold, and march all that is rural secondary school into being. If rural schooling is to be respectfully studied, then the place of that schooling and the social capital relationships of those involved in that schooling much be addressed and acknowledged. The Double Helix Framework of Place and Social Capital offers the explanatory power needed to describe, explain, predict, and improve the nature of rural secondary schools.
