INTRODUCTION
DATA COLLECTION
CONCLUSIONS
As the Director of Advancement, this research
was inspired by the amazing stories that I hear
every time I meet with our Old Boys. Building on
the well-documented power of story as a teaching
and learning tool, this action research focussed
on the use of story to connect boys with the core
values.
Included in the data collected were: video recordings of
each Old Boy’s presentation and question period in class;
the students’ assignment on story endings based on
Wanda Dye’s Character lesson plan (2002); a threequestion survey given to the class; and the teacher’s
observations and discussions with the researcher.
There is a symbiotic relationship between the
concept of “personal stories” and the relationship
between “Old Boys” and the students.
True stories, related by individuals, about making
decisions involving core values encourage
students to analyze the issues and choices made
by those individuals. Such stories help students
realize that others before them have faced the
same dilemmas that they do, but, more
importantly, they also suggest that the values of
good character are not restricted to people of a
particular place or time (Lockwood and Harris,
1985, Sanchez, 1998).
THE RESEARCH QUESTION
How do personal stories told by Old Boys
enhance Grade 8 boys’ understanding of core
values?
DATA ANALYSIS
The story and the storyteller are both important
and interdependent. This relationship influences
how the story is told, how it is received, and how it
is remembered.
The responses to the student questionnaire were
transcribed into an Excel spreadsheet so that they could
be coded to identify themes and trends by identifying key
words and phrases, noting the repetitions of each, and
then categorizing them into possible groupings.
The boys developed an immediate relationship with
each speaker because the Old Boy was one of
them. The boys talked about understanding real
experiences rather than simply reading about it.
The videos of the Old Boys’ presentations allowed for the
analysis of the types and focus of the questions that the
students asked of the Old Boys.
The post-intervention interview with the classroom teacher
was analyzed to compare his impressions of the
intervention with the findings from the boys’ responses as
well as present his personal views about the intervention.
KEY FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
RESEARCH CONTEXT
Selwyn House School, a K-11 school for 540 boys
located in Westmount, Quebec, Canada, is a
CEGEP/University preparatory school combining:
academic and program excellence; a dedication
to the French language and culture; and a
compassionate and supportive environment
enabling boys to live a happy, balanced, and
purposeful life.
PARTICIPANTS
There is a special focus on core value education
in Grades 7 & 8, and one of the teachers offered
to participate with his Grade 8 Ethics and
Religious Culture (ERC) class of twenty-one boys.
THE RESEARCH ACTION
The intervention involved Old Boys telling
personal stories about how they learned or
experienced various core value. Three of the
presentations were done in person, and the
fourth used Google Hangout. Each Old Boy gave a
brief self-introduction and then told his story,
after which the students were encouraged to ask
questions.
Overall, the intervention earned a positive response from
both students and the classroom teacher.
Inviting the Old Boys to speak to the class was a positive
experience. The boys used descriptors such as:
interesting, good, liked, enjoyed, influenced, inspired
and opportunity.
The boys referred to being able to “feel how they (the
speaker) felt” or “relate to an experience”, “their
situations could be my situation” or “it (story) really
made me picture how they felt.”
Some boys indicated that the stories helped them
understand what a particular character trait was. One
wrote, “the stories teach better through like-experiences
rather than just being told what the character trait is.”
Other remarks included, “Inspiring to hear the ways the
speaker overcame obstacles”, and “explained honesty in
a way that we could understand.”
The teacher agreed that his students responded positively
to the intervention. The stories were a valuable addition to
his curriculum because stories were enriching and brought
real-life examples to the class. It was a positive learning
experience for the boys to be able to ask the Old Boys
questions to clarify their thoughts.
The findings of this action research show that the
use of Old Boys’ personal stories in the classroom
adds positive value to the existing curriculum.
The next step is to create a system that will allow
all teachers to have access to our Old Boys as a
resource. An online database will be created to
allow teachers to access Old Boys who have
volunteered to participate in this type of classroom
activity.
