ABSTRACT :social constructionist approach (supported by DavidBartholomae) focuses on academic writing as the real work ofthe academy, finding that the most "empowered" writers arethose who can take AUTHOR ity with their relation to the pastby interacting with other texts.

ABSTRACT :best collaborative model is socially constructed and aimsfor consensus. It goes deeply against the grain of educationin America because it rejects traditional hierarchies,according to Young. An attempt to examine the roles ofconsensus and resistance in the relationship between studentand tutor, and to conform to the model of collaboration thatrelies on "mastery" and "consensus" reveals a problem withthis model, as transcriptions of dialogues between tutor andstudent illustrate. It does not allow the student toeffectively voice her resistance to the AUTHOR ity of thetutor nd to develop her own AUTHOR ity as a writer. Thissilencing of the student' resistance renders her powerless.But n one level, the student and her tutor do reachB BackN NextP PreviousI HelpLIB Locations SUS All Locations E Introduction O Other Options f3consensus abou a detail of the writing process. A view thatprivilegs resistance, that keeps student and tutor talkingabout their differences untilhey find "some common groundsfor agreement that are sufficiently complex to be agreeable"(i the words of Kurt Spellmeyer) to both parties would bepreferable to pretended mastery and assumed consensus.

Hughes's writing journey washat of an outsider, and to some degree all freshman writingurses are concerned with helping outsiders to certainmodes of discourse.

ABSTRACT :which witing both demonstrates and promotes. Theestrangement between writing and critical thinking began inthe 1940s, when educators tried to quantify and assesscritical thinking. Today there is a renaissance of Dewey'sholistic approach to critical thinking, with theorists likeJohn McPeck, Chet Meyers, and Anthony Petrosky envisioningit as the basic epistemic of every course. Further, theseand other theorists are realizing that writing bothdemonstrates and fosters critical thinking. The link betweenwritig and critical thinking is fundamental to severalinfluential and rival composiion theories: the cognitiveapproach, the socil constructionist approach, and theepistemi approach. Writing becomes a form of learning inB BackN NextP PreviousI HelpLIB Locations SUS All Locations E Introduction O Other Options f3and of itself through the epistemic approach, as exemplifiedby the writing assignments for the difficult, often thorny reading elections found in the anthology "Ways of Reading."Finally, composition teachers are borrowing from thespecific vocabulary and methodologies of critical thinking,and often are atributing the success of their pedagogy tos foundations in critical thinking concepts, thusemphasizing a solid reconciliation and a future of jointcreativity.
