http://schema.org/description
- "The interpretive mode of inquiry parallels this study's assumption that the meaning of collaborative writing is constructed by teacher and students in their everyday face-to-face interactions in the classroom. The researcher must be present in the situation over a long period of time to see this meaning emerge and to analyze and interpret it. Thus I engaged in intensive long-term participant observation to learn how teacher and students define the situation, whose definition prevails, and how these possibly conflicting definitions affect the teaching and learning of writing. I also audio-recorded lessons, collected course materials, student writing samples, and writing program documents, interviewed teacher and students, and observed two small groups of students composing an essay together outside of class. I supplemented extended study of the focal classroom with less intensive observations and interviews in three other classes in the writing program."
- "Previous studies have argued that collaborative writing is either productive or unproductive; satisfying or unsatisfying; unifying or alienating; teacher-centered or student-centered; individualistic or communitarian. Unlike these studies, this one documents that in this classroom collaborative writing is contradictory for teacher and students, both productive and unproductive; satisfying and unsatisfying; unifying and alienating; teacher-centered and student-centered; individualistic and communitarian. Collaborative writing reflects and recreates the bi-modal tensions in the classroom, research literature, university, and a contradictory culture which cannot choose individualism or community because both are cherished."
- "This study uses the sociological theory, definition of the situation, to understand the meaning of collaborative writing as a social construction in a required college composition class at a major research university. It addresses three questions: (1) How do teacher and students define collaborative writing and their academic and social relations? (2) How do they jointly construct these definitions in the classroom? (3) How are their idiosyncratic local definitions related to definitions from the classroom's wider institutional and cultural contexts?"
