Abstract

In analyzing interviews with ten Latino participants who have attended or are attending public school in the Greater Charlotte area using narrative discourse analysis, I found significant connections between identifying as self-motivated with regards to education and perceiving one’s agency in educational decision-making as having an internal impetus and positive results, and correspondingly between not identifying as self-motivated with regards to education and perceiving one’s agency in educational decision-making as having an external impetus and negative results.
