The project was designed to analyze students’ reflections for the extent to which they saw their drafts as completed or under continued revision, as well as their focus on ideas, audience-related concerns, or textual characteristics. The study was primarily heuristic, with the goal of provoking further research about students’ constructs of their writing while offering useful information for both college and high school teachers about areas of student learning relating to their conceptions of their own writing that need attention.","PeriodicalId":92857,"journal":{"name":"The journal of writing analytics","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88440443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Humanistic research traditions can enhance research perspectives within the emerging field of writing analytics. Using two case studies from The Journal of Writing Assessment (JWA), this article explores the ways humanistic traditions facilitate a framework developed by JWA of localism. Such a perspective provides a bridge between the technically focused concerns for validity and reliability with the complex social contexts and diverse backgrounds and lived experiences of students and faculty who occupy these educational settings. For writing analytics to live up to its potential, the practices and scholarship need to meet high technical standards as well as attend to diverse and socially situated assessment concerns.","PeriodicalId":92857,"journal":{"name":"The journal of writing analytics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85776246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, the article offers a conceptual and practical overview of WA in the following sections: history, theorization, implementation paradigms, data, digital environments, analytic processes and uses, assessment, ethical considerations, and ongoing challenges.
