This scarcity of representation in the academy is particularly lacking among Latina leaders whose presence has “long been at the forefront of justice-driven efforts, particularly in relation to education and community engagement” (p. 2). While the term Latina implies a single identity, as the book’s editors and contributors acknowledge, “the ambiguous label Latina often erase[s] Latinas’ histories and the multiplicity of experiences embedded under a single label” (p. 1). The richness and diversity of these experiences are reflected in the structure, content, and style of the book, a beautifully written and unique tribute to the work and contributions of Latinas in the academy. Latina Leadership seeks to “break down the false binary between K-12 and college-level literacy education and foreground the stories and testimonios of Latina leaders navigating the complex and often hostile territory of the US academy and doing the work of language and literacy education across communities” (p. 8). These goals, according to Gonzales and Kells, allow the book to be a creative space for an “intentionally polyvocal” collection of experiences, stories, and expertise (p. 11). The book is organized into three parts, each of which explores a different aspect of mentorship and leadership.

These documents are often linked to common methodologies (e.g., randomized clinical trials); they include multiple textual artifacts (e.g., checklists, flow diagrams) and have a history that is coextensive with the emergence and ongoing development of evidence-based medicine (e.g., as an epistemological orientation to research and decision making). Drawing on the concept of metagenre, this article examines how practitioners use reporting guidelines to define and regulate the boundaries of biomedical research and writing activity. The analysis, focusing on one prominent set of guidelines, shows how practitioners use the genre–metagenre dynamic to promote strategic intervention while upholding traditional principles and standards for evidence-based research and communication.","PeriodicalId":46414,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business and Technical Communication","volume":"37 1","pages":"140 - 173"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45712385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This incentive structure led the content creators to employ an inconsistent and often problematic persona of their intended audience as they aimed to scale their ability to build trust with a rapidly growing audience.

The authors do so by situating the history of digital role-playing games (DRPGs) in a larger web of technological innovations over the past 50 years and analyzing social and capitalistic interrelations via social media and marketing. DRPGs, like Fallout and The Witcher series, are technological evolutions of role-playing games (RPGs) like Dungeons & Dragons. Throughout the book, the authors draw theories from a broad pool of sources, ranging from psychology, sociology, business, computer science, and game studies to rhetoric and technical communication. Maybe most notably, the authors make a unique argument for DRPGs as technical communication and demonstrate beneficial takeaways for both practitioners and researchers. Tracking the rise and fall of the video game giants Bethesda, BioWare, and CD Projekt Red over the course of eight chapters, the book provides a useful history of DRPGs. Chapter 1 begins that history by discussing struggles such as infrastructural limitations (comparatively low-power computers), technological diffusion (a lack of Americans with computer access), and generic adaptations (converting tabletop RPGs to a digital interface). The chapter illustrates this evolution of DRPGs from RPGs by explaining the features of the new genre that have descended from RPGs: “character creation, weapons and armor [customization] ... loot, and interesting nonplayer characters” (p. 6).

This article discusses how empirical data from corpora can help copy editors adopt a more rhetorical view of prescriptive usage rules and introduces corpus linguistics as a methodology that can contribute to technical editing pedagogy.","PeriodicalId":46414,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business and Technical Communication","volume":"37 1","pages":"194 - 216"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43429569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conducting small-scale, quasi-experimental studies can provide empirical evidence for the effectiveness of a classroom practice. In technical and professional communication, quasi-experiments tend to be underused compared to other research methods. This article introduces quasi-experimental research as a tool for instructors to use in their teaching approaches and practices by addressing two common fears that prevent them from conducting such research: the fear of doing it wrong and the fear of wasting time. The authors use case studies to explain key concepts, including the difference between quasi and true experiments, selection bias, and confounding factors, and discuss principles of quasi-experiments related to ethical considerations, data collection, and statistical analysis.","PeriodicalId":46414,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business and Technical Communication","volume":"37 1","pages":"174 - 193"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47287888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While research has found student collaborations to be both frustrating and challenging, it has found Scrum to be a scaffolding framework that can improve student interactions and outcomes. Therefore, to determine whether Scrum affects the peer assessments of collaborative teams as well as project grades, this quasi-experimental classroom study compares the midproject and postproject peer assessments and grades of advanced TC students who used Scrum as a framework for collaboration against those students who did not use Scrum in their collaborations. The study found that students who used Scrum rated their team members significantly higher on some peer assessment measures and earned significantly higher grades than did those students who did not use Scrum. Additionally, students in the Scrum protocol reported satisfaction with their group experience broadly but did not report satisfaction with Scrum itself.","PeriodicalId":46414,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business and Technical Communication","volume":"37 1","pages":"68 - 94"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47259301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Klein’s Effective Teaching of Technical Communication: Theory, Practice, and Application is a comprehensive edited collection written by and for technical communication instructors, administrators, and scholars. As one of the most recent and significant additions to the professional and technical communication (PTC) literature, the collection both demonstrates innovative pedagogical approaches and identifies crucial directions for the field to pursue. Marketed as an update to the long-standing Foundations for Teaching Technical Communication (Staples & Ornatowski, 1997), the collection provides more diverse, contemporary, and provocative perspectives on pedagogical strategies and teaching practices. The collection also comes as the first book in a new series from the WAC Clearinghouse —Foundations and Innovations in Technical and Professional Communication—which promises to foreground texts that address the critical intersections of theory and practice. As a reflection of the methodological depth and breadth of PTC scholarship, Klein’s collection delivers on this promise. The expansive collection, divided into four parts, consists of 16 chapters composed by 23 authors. Part 1, “Expanding Pedagogy,” features pedagogical approaches and strategies that respond to the social justice turn in PTC; Part 2, “Shaping Curriculum,” portrays innovative course and curricular development; Part 3, “Incorporating Technology,” moves beyond standard advice for how to use technology in the classroom and turns toward collaborativeand team-based approaches to technical communication in Book Review","PeriodicalId":46414,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business and Technical Communication","volume":"37 1","pages":"95 - 98"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44049454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
