Examining the Interplay Between Pre-Writing for Expository Writing and Argumentative Reasoning in Graduates of Business Education

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study explored the relationship between prewriting strategies for expository writing and the development of argumentative reasoning skills in MBA students. 30 MBA students participated in a research design involving thematic analysis of prewriting exercises, classroom observations, and instructor feedback. The findings revealed a strong correlation between the use of effective prewriting techniques, such as brainstorming, outlining, and freewriting, and the ability to construct well-supported arguments. Students who engaged in thorough prewriting activities demonstrated improved critical thinking, enhanced ability to identify and analyze evidence, and strengthened skills in constructing coherent and persuasive arguments. The study also highlighted the importance of instructor guidance in helping students develop effective prewriting strategies and apply them to their writing. Implications for MBA education and future research are discussed.
