DISSERTATION on JUVENAGOGY: An Interdependent Paradigm for Adolescent Education


Statement on Scientific Knowledge

The central aim of this dissertation was to contribute new scientific knowledge to the field of education. Within the philosophy of science, a contribution rises to the level of scientific knowledge when it provides a coherent explanatory framework, resolves persistent anomalies, aligns with empirical evidence, and generates new lines of inquiry (Kuhn, 2012; Guba & Lincoln, 2005). Juvenagogy meets these criteria.

First, Juvenagogy resolves long-standing anomalies in adolescent education that existing paradigms fail to explain adequately. Pedagogical models cannot account for widespread disengagement under increased control, and andragogical models overestimate adolescents' readiness for autonomous learning (Kirschner et al., 2020; Merrill, 2020). Constructivist approaches acknowledge collaboration but insufficiently explain its instability. Juvenagogy resolves these contradictions by reconceptualizing adolescence as a developmental condition of interdependence, grounded in social neuroscience and motivational science (Blakemore & Mills, 2023; Telzer, 2021).
