Workshop: Attending to Affective Domain and Disciplinary Identity While Teaching Academic Technical Writing

Abstract

This workshop is intended for instructors of technical writing who teach in a disciplinary context. In this interactive workshop, participants will be guided through cognitive science and educational psychology principles that affect novice researchers and writers in academic science and engineering (upper-level undergraduates and/or graduate students) who often are struggling with oscillating role identities as students and researchers that affect both the writing process and the psychosocial domain.
