Abstract: The major purpose of this dissertation is the construction of a curriculum model for the teaching of autobiography. The study is based on the contention that learning is rendered more meaningful when instructional practices attend to both the cognitive and affective development of the student. It offers a methodology which utilizes the personal experience of the learner while teaching a traditional discipline. Chapter One establishes a need for student-centered curricula and suggests autobiography as a viable vehicle for exposing students to conventional subject matter and allowing them to explore their own existence at the same time.
