520 $a Purpose.
520 $a The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore how teacher participants describe the Harkness approach and the implications of the method on teachers and students. An in-depth exploration of the experiences of Harkness teacher participants investigated their individual perceptions of a student-centered, discussion-based pedagogy as it relates to student learning and teacher qualities.
520 $a Methodology.
520 $a Using Moustakas' phenomenological design, a purposeful sampling technique was employed to select teacher participants for individual phone interviews and individual demographic questionnaires. Data were recorded, transcribed, analyzed, clustered, and synthesized.
520 $a Findings.
520 $a Twelve themes emerged from the responses to the two research questions. Regarding Research Question 1: How do experienced Harkness teachers describe student learning in Harkness classrooms?; the following themes emerged: (a) active learning, (b) student responsibility, (c) gained perspectives, (d) utilizing complex content, (e) 21st-century skills, and (f) student voice. Regarding Research Question 2: What qualities do experienced Harkness teachers identify as necessary for teachers using the Harkness Method?; the following themes emerged: (a) genuine interest in what students are thinking, (b) teacher passion, (c) teacher expertise, (d) comfort with ambiguity and change, (e) undetermined course for discussion, and (f) genuine desire for greater student learning..
520 $a Implications and Conclusions.
520 $a The underlying assumptions regarding the Harkness approach to teaching and learning are supported by constructivist learning theories, including social constructivism, collaborative approaches, and cooperative learning methods. Although many similarities exist between Harkness learning and the Socratic method, such as the impetus of academic discourse and thoughtful questioning, the distinguishing difference between the two discussion-based practices is Harkness' emphasis of studentcenteredness. Moreover, thought leaders and Harkness teachers have expressed the importance Harkness has on enlightening self-awareness, appreciating nuance, and developing humility (Boadi, 2015; Brownback, 2015; Foley, 2015). Skills that are deemed appropriate for developing in the 21 st-century student include: (a) critical thinking and problem solving, (b) collaboration, (c) adaptability, (d) initiative and entrepreneurism, (e) effective oral and written communication, (f) accessing and analyzing information, and (g) curiosity and imagination (Wagner, 2008). In this dissertation study, it is my claim that Harkness approaches can meet the goals for a 21st-century education.
