The role of reading and writing in the acquisition of knowledge: A study of college students' self-directed engagements in reading and writing to learn
Abstract
dc:description"The thinking and learning that resulted from college students' self-directed engagements in various combinations of reading and writing were studied from several theoretical perspectives: a composing model of reading and writing; the view of writing as a way of thinking and learning; studies of the influence of reading and writing upon thinking critically; recent theories of knowledge acquisition in complex content domains; and a ""critical"" perspective on language and literacy learning."
