Abstract
This qualitative action research aimed to identify the influence of dialogic instruction on economically disadvantaged students’ learning through their perspectives. This qualitative action research incorporated and explored the influence of dialogic instruction on economically disadvantaged students’ perceived learning. Members of my seventh-grade social studies class participated in a 4-week instructional unit taught via dialogic instruction. The state of Georgia classified these students as economically disadvantaged. Observations and an open-ended questionnaire administered at the end of the unit documented student reactions to the implementation of dialogic instruction. Findings revealed that participants in the qualitative action research preferred dialogic instruction over other means of instruction, felt empowered regarding their education, reveled in helping classmates, and enjoyed engaging in the lessons. The findings demonstrated that dialogic instruction had a positive influence on economically disadvantaged students. The results of the qualitative action research imply that school systems could implement dialogic instruction immediately for the benefit of their economically disadvantaged students without any costly expenditures. However, I recommend further research to ascertain whether additional qualitative action research would result in similar findings.
