Learning in School Science: The Promises and Practices of Writing.
Rowell, Patricia M.
Studies in Science Education, v30 p19-56 1997
Examines claims for writing-to-learn science and juxtaposes them with writing practices in both the scientific community and school science. Presents arguments for reconceptualizing the act of writing in science classrooms in light of a characterization of writing in the discourses of science and school science, including recognizing writing as a social practice. Contains 150 references. (PVD)
