ABSTRACTThis paper reports on research undertaken in two fully online, asynchronous university courses. Representing two masters’ programs, one led to a degree in reading as a reading specialist, and the other, to a degree in special education as an educational diagnostician. This investigation explored how writing conferences helped graduate students to better communicate within their new professions. This comparative case study, framed by social presence theory, was conducted across one semester. The findings of this study point to three themes, (1) Components of the Online Learning Environment, (2) Metacognitive Thinking, and (3) Building Professional Identity. The three themes provide glimpses into graduate students’ perceptions of synchronous writing conferences. The purpose of these conferences was to provide graduate students with the tools and support needed to encourage professional writing for their soon-to-be careers.KEYWORDS: Asynchronous graduate coursescollege writingdistance learningonline writing conferencessocial presence Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsAnnamary ConsalvoAnnamary Consalvo, Associate Professor at The University of Texas at Tyler where she teaches undergraduate, masters, and doctoral courses in adolescent literacy and research methods.

摘要本文报道了在两门完全在线、异步的大学课程中所进行的研究。代表两个硕士课程,一个是阅读专家的阅读学位,另一个是教育诊断学家的特殊教育学位。这项调查探讨了写作会议如何帮助研究生在他们的新职业中更好地沟通。这个比较案例研究是在社会存在理论的框架下进行的,为期一个学期。本研究的结果指向三个主题,(1)在线学习环境的组成部分,(2)元认知思维,(3)建立职业认同。这三个主题让我们得以一窥研究生对同步写作会议的看法。这些会议的目的是为研究生提供必要的工具和支持,鼓励他们为即将到来的职业生涯进行专业写作。关键词:异步研究生课程;大学写作;远程教育;在线写作会议;作者简介:annamary Consalvo,德克萨斯大学泰勒分校副教授,教授青少年读写和研究方法的本科、硕士和博士课程。作为一名前初中和高中英语教师,她的研究兴趣包括写作教学和年轻人的文学方面。Jessica A.

ABSTRACTThe time investment that literacy curriculum design requires, if it is to be truly meaningful to students, is considerable. Crafting an organizing curricular model, identifying appropriate and relevant texts, and purposefully scaffolding instruction can take more time than teaching the class itself. And, given the current legislative policy reform movements within higher education and more directly within developmental education (where most postsecondary literacy instruction is housed), this work becomes even more intense. With these realizations in mind, we set out to begin work on curriculum design for IRW (and other literacy contexts) that takes its energy from a Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies approach and an intertextuality-based approach. This manuscript provides the seeds of that model.KEYWORDS: College literacyCulturally Sustaining Pedagogiescurriculum designintertextualityIRW Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsYvette M.

摘要素养课程设计要真正对学生有意义,需要投入相当的时间。精心设计一个有组织的课程模式,确定合适和相关的文本,并有目的地进行脚手架教学,可能比教学本身花费更多的时间。而且,考虑到目前高等教育和更直接的发展教育(大多数中学后识字教学都在其中)的立法政策改革运动,这项工作变得更加紧张。考虑到这些认识,我们开始着手为IRW(和其他读写环境)设计课程,从文化可持续教学法和基于互文性的方法中汲取能量。这份手稿为这种模式埋下了种子。关键词:大学素养;文化持续教学法;课程设计;互文性;irw披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。作者简介:维特·m·雷加拉多维特·m·雷加拉多的研究和专业重点包括读写课程和综合阅读与写作(IRW)教学中的文化和社区实践。她的研究采用了文化维持教学法、社区文化财富、反叙事和土著教学法的理论框架。她正在努力完成她在德克萨斯州立大学的博士学位。作为一名实践者-学者-活动家,Yvette热衷于使课程多样化,并在高等教育领域创造多样化,公平,包容和可访问的(DEIA)空间。Sonya L.

Greetings from the JCRL Editorial team! In this final issue of 2023, we are excited to bring you four articles covering a range of timely topics. The issue opens with “‘We’re Not All Chemists in Here – We’re Just Trying to Get to the Next Level:’ Examining Out-of-School Literacies, Identity, and Disciplinary Literacy,” by Minkyung Choi. This article addresses the challenges in disciplinary literacy development for students in science courses. Through a series of interviews, a qualitative study found that positive previous academic encounters contributed to disciplinary literacy development, while a strong science identity enhanced performance and resilience. The author urges literacy professionals to consider the interplay between prior experiences, background knowledge, and science identity in fostering disciplinary literacy for higher education science students. In “On the Challenges of Decomposing Whiteness: Foundations for Antiracist Literacies,” Patrick Bruch, Jr., explores the intersection of composition studies and critical Whiteness studies, emphasizing the need to confront Whiteness in higher education. The author considers how challenging Whiteness can advance racially conscious research and offers examples of students grappling with Whiteness-based epistemologies, while underscoring the importance of dismantling White privilege and promoting equity. Writing classrooms are highlighted as spaces for students to critically examine and decompose Whiteness, encouraging them to take political responsibility for their language practices. Next, in “The Unanticipated Virtual Year: How the Big 5 Personality Traits of Openness to Experience and Conscientiousness Impacted Engagement in Online Classes During the COVID-19 Crisis,” Élodie Audet, Shelby Levine, and Pascale Dubois use two-wave prospective longitudinal designs to examine the role of the Big 5 personality traits on student engagement in online classroom environments. The study was conducted during the Fall 2020 and winter 2021 semesters with two separate cohort groups of university students. The authors found that the source of student motivation and level of online engagement shifted as students experienced online learning over an extended period. Finally, in “Critical Reading and Student Self-Selected Texts: Results of A Collaborative, Explicit Curricular Approach,” Jill Parrott and Trenia Napier consider whether students’ ability to critically assess and utilize sources can be improved by a competency-based curriculum designed to integrate information literacy, critical reading, and writing.

This research asks whether a competency-based curriculum designed to integrate information literacy, critical reading, and writing improves students’ ability to critically read sources and then use source content for their own purposes. We hypothesized that critical reading-infused library instruction, course instruction, and curriculum support via peer consultation (intervention group) would positively impact students’ critical reading facility and ability to synthesize sources into meaningful writing as opposed to students who do not receive this instruction (control group). Our research indicates a strong correlation between students’ navigating a critical reading curriculum for a research project with self-selected texts and positive research-based writing outcomes for these courses. Students in the intervention group were more likely to be able to integrate source material effectively into their self-selected research-based projects than students in the control group.

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 crisis dramatically impacted how academic classes were taught. The present two studies used two-wave prospective longitudinal designs (following two separate cohorts of university students) to examine the predictive role of the Big 5 personality traits of openness to experience and conscientiousness on students’ engagement in online classes. Students were asked to report on their levels of motivation and self-efficacy for engagement in online classes. Results suggest that during the Fall 2020 semester the trait of openness to experience may have allowed students to be more engaged in online classes. However, openness to experience was no longer associated with greater engagement during the Winter 2021 semester. Instead, during this second online semester, conscientiousness emerged as the best predictor of heightened engagement in online classes. Interestingly, results suggest that openness to experience and conscientiousness may have different pathways: the benefit of openness to experience was mediated by intrinsic motivation whereas that of conscientiousness by self-efficacy.
