Bente Kristiansen ved Centre for Educational Development, Aarhus universitet, arbeider med akademisk kommunikasjon og særlig akademiske kyndighet, "academic literacy".
Akademisk literacy handler om kompetansen til å kommunisere i et bestemt akademisk diskurs-felleskap. Det er først og fremst noe studentene utvikler i fagene, heller enn generisk ferdighet som man lærer i egne kurs. Vi diskuterer hvordan man i høyere utdanning kan støtte studentenes utvikling av akademisk kyndighet, særlig skriving og lesning.
Kristiansen har bl.a. forfattet boken Om at skrive på Universitetet, som akkurat har kommet i ny utgave.
I denne episoden snakker vi med Marit Greek og Kari Mari Jonsmoen ved Oslo Met om hvordan vi kan støtte studenter med norsk som andrespråk i høyere utdanning. Dette trede og siste del av en lengre samtale om tekstkyndighet.
I episode 2:3 med Marit Greek og Kari Mari Jonsmoen ved Oslo Met, diskuterer vi hvilke skriveerfaringer nye studenter har med seg fra skolen og hvordan vi i høyere utdanning støtet studentenes møte med fagtekster og fagskriving.
Marit Greek og Kari Mari Jonsmoen ved Oslo Met har over lang tid forsket på hvordan elever og studenter skriver og utvikler skriveferdigheter. Vi møter de i tre episoder. I episode 1:3 er temaet tekstkyndighet og skrivestøtte.
Siân Lund, English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Coordinator at the Royal College of Art, has developed a booklet as a pedagogical tool to help MA-students in Art and Design understand what tutors expect from their writing and academic communication. The booklet is based on interviews with tutors and gives the students insights into how to develop and position their identity through writing.
Ruth Wiederkehr and Marie-Thérèse Rudolf von Rohr from the University of Applied Sciences of NW-Switzerland talk about methods and challenges for teaching technical writing to engineering students. Students must master genres like the technical report, but also tailor information to a non-scientific audience. In six sequential research projects, they are introduced to diverse skills that continuously enhance their writing.
Randi W. Stebbins, Director of the University of Iceland Center for Writing, has borrowed methodologies from Creative Writing to help students recognize and develop their identities as academic writers. In a workshop, participants are given three activities to complete - an identity wheel, freewriting, and a task to connect their identity to the community.
Lotte Rienecker, co-author of The Good Paper (2017) and numerous books and articles on academic writing, discusses examples on research questions and gives advice on how to teach and supervise research questions in BA-papers. She presents a research question checklist and practical tasks for students.
Peter Thomas, Senior Lecturer in Academic Writing and Language at Middlesex University, talks about teaching writing to Art and Design students. Together with his colleague Grace Lees-Maffei, he has used posters and poster-sessions as teaching tools and conducted a study on how students engage with and perceive this genre. Why are posters useful to fuse theoretical knowledge and practice-based learning?
Tine Wirenfeldt Jensen, PhD in Learning & Education and owner of the educational development consultancy METoDo, talks to UiB Write about how a focus on plagiarism and the use of plagiarism detection software impacts students' writing development and their identity and independence as writers.
Prof. Rachel Riedner, Director of the University Writing Program at GWU, and prof. William Briscoe, Chair of Physics, on curricular changes made in Physics at George Washington University to give attention to students' writing development. They address the importance of teaching genres of writing in STEM subjects to prepare students for life after university.
Karl-Heinz Pogner, associate professor, and Vibeke Ankersborg, external lecturer and Master’s Thesis Counsellor, both from Copenhagen Business School have conducted research that investigates the Challenges of Master Thesis Writing. They talk to UiB Write about different models of supervision, and the value of the Scandinavian partnership model of supervision, "vejledning".
Montserrat Castelló, professor in Educational Psychology at Universitat Ramon Llull, Barcelona, has conducted extensive research on academic writing, and the teaching of writing regarding graduate and PhD-students. She speaks to UiB Write about divergent views on academic genres between students and supervisors, and the challenges PhD-students experience in the writing process.
Karen Head, Associate Professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication and Executive Director of the Communication Center at Georgia Tech, and Chris Anson, Distinguished Professor of English at NC State University, Director of the Campus Writing and Speaking Program, talk about technology in the classroom. Both have used a variety of tools to engage students, and share their experience with screencast-feedback, Fakebook, and twitter-streams.
