Understanding Multiple Layers of Practice: A Study on Academic Discourse Socialization in Engineering Research Teams
… Morita, 2009; Seloni, 2012; Shi, 2011). Although research teams have been one of the major sites of disciplinary practice and socialization, relatively few studies have examined the ADS processes of novices in engineering research teams in STEM fields (e.g., Lei & Hu, 2015; Li, 2007). The findings …
