Basic Writing in the Academy: A Taxonomy of Scholarship.
Davis, Judith Rae
Research & Teaching in Developmental Education, v7 n2 p11-25 Spr 1991
Examines the work of representative scholars in the field of basic writing in terms of their pedagogical and theoretical assumptions about teaching academic discourse. Categorizes the scholarship into two theoretical schools of thought (i.e., inner-directed and outer-directed) and two pedagogical camps (i.e., freedom-directed and conformity-directed). (DMM)
