A Cognitive-Apprenticeship-Inspired Instructional Approach for Teaching Scientific Writing and Reading
Kolikant, Yifat Ben-David; Gatchell, David W.; Hirsch, Penny L.; Linsenmeier, Robert A.
Journal of College Science Teaching, v36 n3 p20-25 Nov-Dec 2006
We present an approach for integrating instruction of scientific writing and reading into undergraduate science courses, inspired by the pedagogical theory of cognitive apprenticeship. We demonstrate its implementation and describe a study of students' feedback that enabled us to elicit students' difficulties and fine-tune the next application accordingly. (Contains 3 tables and 1 resource.)
