Year: 1988
Type: article
Abstract: This paper proposes a view of literacy and literacy learning in which various forms of reading and writing are reconceptualized as distinct ways of exploring a knowledge domain enroute to acquiring new knowledge.We begin by reviewing current notions regarding the relationship between cognitive processes in reading and writing.Second, we examine the theoretical basis for writing as thinking before moving on to explore a select group of studies which address the influence of writing upon learning.Third, we present our own views on literacy as they relate to recent theories of knowledge acquisition in complex content domains and some of the more current approaches to critical literacy.
