ABSTRACT

Promoting self-determination has become an increasingly important goal for programs serving students with Special Education Needs (SEN). Research examining self-determination in relation to transition education has emerged as an important topic in the field of Special Education. While studies have shown self-determination training provides considerable benefits related to post-secondary outcomes, students continue to be excluded from participating in a decision-making capacity during planning sessions for Individualized Education Programs (IEP) or Individualized Transition Programs (ITP). In this paper, we draw from a body of research in the field of science education to argue for “cogenerative dialogue” as a beneficial instructional strategy special educators and content area teachers could use to expand self- determination practices of SEN students. We provide examples of how this structured discourse method has been implemented by teachers and researchers to engage students in participatory dialogue about how to improve science teaching and learning. We conclude by raising questions about the efficacy of utilizing this method in different cultural contexts and we offer directions for future research on using cogenerative dialogue to expand self-determination practices of SEN students in Korea.
