Abstract Details

2011, Doctor of Education, Ashland University, College of Education.
The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the lives of twelve female social studies teachers. Specifically, through a phenomenological approach, the lived experiences, personal thoughts and professional journeys of the twelve participants were examined in order to identify those experiences that are unique to being a female social studies teacher. The themes that emerged were: (a) treatment of participants as a result of gender; (b) the role of the Catholic Church and Catholic schools in the lives of the participants; (c) the appeal of social studies education to the participants; (d) the benefits and contributions of female social studies teachers; (e) the participants' journeys in to the field of social studies education; (f) the lack of representation of females in social studies education; (g) the devaluing of social studies education; (h) the importance of social studies education; (i) the characteristics of a successful female social studies teacher; and (j) the coachification effect in social studies education.
