Qualitative approaches including case, narrative and design research were employed to examine this issue through the experiences of four different cohorts of students from two different schools and school divisions. The goal of this study was to better understand students' experiences of learning when educators changed fundamental aspects of the work that students in secondary schools have been asked to undertake. It is the contention of this thesis that significant progress can be made towards making schools more engaging places for learners when educators deliberately design learning experiences for students that are meaningful and relevant.viii, 172 leaves ; 30 cm.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
