Varied Responses as a Means to the Richness of Discourse: Reading Tough Texts through Speaking and Writing
Thompson, Carol L.; Kleine, Michael W.
International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, v10 n1 Article 5 Jan 2016
New scholarship advocates that students should learn deeply and well. Little information exists on exactly how to get students deeply into material so that they understand it inside and out, backward and forward and in a way that enables them to construct knowledge schemas. The authors have developed a heuristic list of communication response styles that enrich understanding of complex ideas and works and promotes students to use metacognition to reflect deeply about what they are learning.
