OP 36. Moving Writing Research into the 21st Century

By Sarah Warshauer Freedman

Summary: Freedman argues that writing research in the 21st century will benefit by being inclusive—of a diverse population of learners, taught by a diverse population of teachers, using approaches that allow for a diversity of ways of learning—with new knowledge gathered from diverse sources and with diverse methods. Using her own research on learning to write in inner-city schools in the U.S. and Great Britain, Freedman shows how specific research on the learning of diverse populations pushes educators to elaborate existing theories. Finally, she explains the influence of such theory-building on her continuing research on inner-city secondary students in the U.S. May, 1994; 14 pages.
