Journal Entry 9
What is the writer trying to find out more about through their research (what research question guides her work)?
The research looked at “how students’ constructs of ‘self’ are reflected in school genres and how their backgrounds, specific academic disciplines, and institutional goals affect those constructs.” The author wants to see how students respond to various genres that they observe and study.
How does this author collect the data she needs to answer her question?
The author uses what is called “activist theory” in order to get an analysis. She uses self-representation in terms of getting students to answer the question.
What sort of genres do you see your peers using as forms of “self-representation”?
Some of my peers use the sciences (e.g. biology). Others use humanities as a form of self-representation (e.g. writing or literature).
