10-second review: Online study habits. The state of writing. Freshman college writing to writing in history and engineering.
Title: “Annotated Bibliography of Research in the Teaching of English.” R. Beach, et al. Research in the Teaching of English (November 2007), 188-227.
Online study habits: Suggests the need for more explicit instruction in online study habits to ensure success in online writing courses. W. West, et al. p. 217 (2006). [Comment: What do online study habits consist of? RayS.]
The State of Writing: Based on NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress) writing data. Writing quality from 1978 to 2002 is relatively stable. Longer writing (beyond 3 pages) results in higher writing achievement. Writing involving analysis and interpretation as opposed to summary and story writing [Narrative writing? RayS.] is related to writing achievement. Few family members review students’ writing. Learning to employ prewriting activities is associated positively with writing achievement. AN Applebee and JA Langer. P. 220 (2006)
Freshman college writing course to writing in history and engineering courses. Tracks the writing development of a college student from a first-year composition course to writing in history and engineering major courses to post-college writing. Finds that the student had difficulty transferring generic writing practices in the first-year writing course to specific disciplinary contexts. A. Beaufort. P. 221 (2007).
