Identifier	Thesis 1714
Author	Weeks, Denise M.
Title	The Impact of Odyssey of the Mind on the Cognitive and Psychosocial Development of Adolescents
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2003
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	This study investigates the relationship between participation in the Odyssey of the Mind program and the cognitive and psychosocial development of adolescents, to examine the contribution of program design on those outcomes, and to explore the possible implications for Student Affairs programming. Eleven students, divided equally between current and prior participants in the program, were interviewed about their experiences in the program. Two coaches were interviewed regarding their experiences and their observations of students' experiences. The Grounded Theory Method (Corbin & Strauss, 1990, Glasser, 1967) of constant comparison was used to analyze interview data and develop the hypothesis regarding the cognitive and psychosocial development of student participants. The study revealed a program design that provides a balance of challenge and support and appears to accelerate students' psychosocial and cognitive development. Several programming characteristics were reported to contribute to this result: the use of small teams; the presence of a mentoring coach; an emphasis on teamwork and originality; the use of openended problems and a requirement that project work be completed exclusively by the students. The study makes a case for Higher Education programming that would allow students to work collaboratively in small groups on long-term projects in an environment that provides developmentally appropriate levels of challenge and support.
