Interactive writing is a powerful instructional strategy in which the teacher and children "share the pen" to construct a collaboratively composed text. Traditionally, articles have been written detailing how the procedure can be implemented in grades kindergarten through two. We contend that interactive writing can also be an effective…

This study explores how a team of university and youth co-researchers collaboratively inquired into, and participated in, the process of writing for educational change. We refer to the collective literate processes through which researchers worked to center community priorities in academic writing as community-centered composing. We document how…

This study investigates the integration of artificial intelligence into the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) methodology through a learning analytics lens. Using a mixed-methods quasi-experimental design (N=140), we examined how an AI-enhanced collaborative platform influences creative thinking among computer science undergraduates. The experimental group…

Technology-mediated collaborative writing (CW) is a popular pedagogical approach in second language (L2) education. Research shows the potential benefits of co-authoring in pairs using digital devices in various areas. Given its reliance on various modes of communication, further research on the layers of modality could provide further insights…

Seven children ages five through nine engaged with two graduate student teachers after school in a university-based literacy lab. Based on a home interest survey, the essential question, "What is movement?" was explored. The children generated further questions, read a variety of texts, and wrote about their experiences. The teachers…

Although prior studies have suggested the benefits of a collaborative approach to providing peer feedback in EFL writing, little is known about how students engage in collaborative peer feedback (CPF) activities. This paper reports on a case study involving five Chinese EFL students who collaboratively provided feedback on five argumentative…

The present mixed-methods study aimed at investigating the effects of three writing conditions, including collaborative writing (CW), collaborative prewriting (CPW), and individual writing (IW), on the performance and motivation of 66 Iranian EFL learners in a computer-mediated communication (CMC) context. Data were obtained through a background…

This study investigates the effect of interactive writing strategies on the writing self-efficacy of EFL learners. Employing a quasi-experimental design, sixty participants were assigned to an experimental group engaging in interactive, collaborative writing activities and a control group receiving traditional instruction. The intervention lasted…

Although writing is often used for personal reflection in teacher education, it is less commonly leveraged to imagine educational futures (Gilligan, 2020)--particularly those centered on collective liberation. Amid intersecting social crises, however, imagining futures is critically important (Ladson-Billings, 2021), and writing is a crucial step…

In the pursuit of fostering vibrant and inclusive learning environments, this article explores how the practice of community-building can be a contemplative practice. Drawing upon personal experiences and pedagogical insights, Muir navigates the rewards of cultivating authentic connections among students while dismantling hierarchies within the…

Collaborative discussion-supported writing (CDSW) provides opportunities for students to develop arguments and counterarguments through peer communications with a goal to promote a high-quality argumentative essay. Cognitive scaffoldings can be used to facilitate students' collaborative discussions. However, there is a lack of investigation on the…

In this formative experiment, the authors focused on developing professional development for upper elementary school teachers and investigating how it was integrated into teachers' instruction to improve their ability to make writing a more digital, participatory process. Theoretical perspectives pertaining to technology use in education specify…

In this article, I introduce a collaborative annotation activity that supports students in critically examining AI-generated writing in relation to criteria including specificity and complexity. I engage students in collaboratively annotating the AI-generated essays, guiding students to identify instances in which the essays could be more…

Task-based language teaching (TBLT) has occupied an important place in the field of language education; however, some of TBLT dimensions that pertain to the interaction between task design features, written corrective feedback (WCF), and learners' performance have not received adequate attention in past studies. To fill this gap, the current study…

Recent research has highlighted the value of incorporating metacognitive prompts into cooperative learning. This study explores effects of the presence or absence of metacognitive prompts in group or individual learning on metacognitive awareness and EFL writing outcomes. A total of 170 university students were assigned to one of four treatment…
