Section Title:
Researching Pedagogical Resrch
Section Info:
Topic: Researching Pedagogical Research. What has research in writing studies done for college composition pedagogy? We will seek answers to this and related questions in the field’s professional literature, assessing how (and how well) the literature has addressed the perceived needs of student writers and their teachers. We will examine, too, how (and how well) writing studies research has attended to the institutional settings in which teachers and students labor. That these labors are sometimes alienated from the work of research is no secret. We will explore who benefits from and is harmed by this alienation, and will speculate about what would happen were the divide between teaching and research better bridged. Two recent attempts at such bridging—Writing about Writing and Teaching for Transfer—are among several examples we will investigate. Our investigation will include considerations of practicality, which will lead us to review how faculty effort in the humanities is typically allocated across categories of teaching, research, and service, and how these categories are typically proportioned according to institutional mission. Comparative cases drawn from arts and STEM disciplines will provide additional perspectives on domain-specific pedagogical research. Seminar presentations and papers will be shaped to accommodate various audiences that have a stake—or believe they have a stake—in how college composition is taught.
