Confronting the Research Paper |
Summaries - Reports from Classrooms WAC @ MEC faculty have produced a thoughtful corpus of work. They are projects developed with the assistance of fellows and in conjunction with the WAC co-coordinators. Here we summarize the work MEC’s faculty has done for the past year, and the questions, goals, methods, and findings that they have come up with. We hope these will be used as a spring board to think about recurrent issues in our WAC practice. We would like you to relate the theories that inform WAC methods, and Writing to Learn strategies as they are applied in courses by faculty doing Action Research. In the classroom, faculty make numerous decisions not only in regard to the syllabus, but also in regard to general themes, texts, tests, rules for behavior, answering, and speaking, which more than being confined to the space of the schools, also provide them with models for how to interact with each other and to authority and expertise outside the classroom and in the larger arena of society. Again, we remind you that action research is more than just a set of activities, it is a systematic practice through which faculty are invited to examine their own assumptions and expectations and explore new areas of their own practice they have not thought of before. The work that we summarize here is the result of WAC’s collective engagement with all of these decisions. Some of MEC’s faculty have participated in WAC @ MEC for several semesters or years and have developed a number of Action Research projects. Among their work, we selected the one that we believe is the most representative. WAC in Liberal Arts and Education WAC in Business and the Sciences |
