Abstract

Source-based writing exists at the intersection of information literacy and written communication, where information from sources is incorporated into writing to achieve a communicative purpose. This case study addresses how students in junior-level college writing classes use information from sources in their papers and how they think about these practices. Student papers from multiple disciplines were coded to document source-based writing practices, such as the use of direct quotes, paraphrasing, and summarizing, and the rhetorical purpose the cited information served in the paper. The papers exhibited high use of direct quotes, indirect citations, and information from sources used as background information. Student perspectives on these practices were gathered through focus groups, with prominent themes being a predilection for efficiency, negative associations with source-based writing, and desire for detailed assignment prompts. Implications for teaching are discussed.
信息素养与书面交流的交叉点:与基于资料来源的写作相关的学生观点和实践
基于资料来源的写作是信息素养和书面交流的交汇点,在写作中融入资料来源的信息是为了达到交流的目的。本案例研究探讨了大三写作课上的学生如何在论文中使用来源信息,以及他们是如何思考这些做法的。我们对多个学科的学生论文进行了编码,以记录基于资料来源的写作实践,如直接引用、转述和总结的使用,以及论文中引用信息的修辞目的。这些论文大量使用了直接引用、间接引用以及作为背景资料的来源信息。通过焦点小组收集了学生对这些做法的看法,其中突出的主题是对效率的偏好、对基于资料来源的写作的负面联想以及对详细作业提示的渴望。讨论了对教学的影响。
