Increasing Writing Self-Efficacy of Adult Learners: Different Approaches, Different Results
Plakhotnik, Maria S.; Rocco, Tonette S.
Adult Learning, v27 n4 p160-167 Nov 2016
To help graduate students with academic writing, a college of education at a large university implemented a new service, Writing Support Circles. Based on the results of the first series of this service, we changed its design. The purpose of this article is to share how changes in the design affected these adult learners' writing self-efficacy and workshop satisfaction.
