Abstract: Many talented, thoughtful, and caring people contributed time and support essential to the completion o f this dissertation.To add even this small sliver o f findings to the world o f human knowledge took a large community o f mentors and friends.My journey through this process has been marked by the deepening of existing relationships and the creation o f new relationships, making it a journey well worth taking and one o f my life's most enriching and challenging endeavors.I would like to thank the following people for the mentoring and clues they provided along the w ay to broaden m y capacity for observing, thinking, and learning.Jane and Kenneth Powell, my mom and dad, encouraged me from early on to continue learning.Formal and informal educators themselves, they grounded me in practical and natural world experiences.They gave me both the raw stuff to get started and the discipline and environment to become more.Thanks to Douglass N. Powell, MD, my brother, the first medical doctor in the Powell clan.Observing D oug's early journey gave me confidence that my journey could be possible and now actual.Tom Powell and Nancy Powell,
