From Corrector to Collaborator: The Range of Instructor Roles in Writing-Based Natural and Applied Science Classes.

Chinn, Pauline W. U.; Hilgers, Thomas L.

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v37 n1 p3-25 Jan 2000

Examines the relationships among instructors' course goals, instructional activities, and students' assessment of their learning of content and writing in writing-intensive undergraduate natural and applied science courses. Finds that instructors are described along a continuum anchored by instructor-as-corrector on one end and instructor-as-collaborator on the other. (Contains 53 references.) (Author/WRM)
