What is graduate writing? Essay

This feels really messy to me yet, but:

Graduate writing is a rhetorical process that synthesizes prior knowledge with new learning, typically in an academic style. This writing has a focus on positioning students as rising researchers who are contributing to their chosen academic field.  

Plan/Thoughts:

WPA Outcomes 

Process 

Critical thinking, reading 

Transfer

M.Ed. vs. M.A. experiences with writing 

Feedback welcomed! I just keep staring at this "definition" like I've never done graduate level writing in my life.

Peer Review Module 4

Hi everyone! I think I have a pretty good grasp on the rest of the choice assignments I’m doing, but I’d appreciate some feedback on my plan for the “possibilities of play” blog post. So far, here are my main ideas:

A space becomes playful when you agree to enter the “magic circle” of play and are able to be creative and experimental. Within this playspace, you agree to following the rules and are able to escape the conventions of the real world. As you become fully invested, the flow of play takes over to the point where your playfulness extends upon what is expected. 

I want to use Huizinga’s explanation of the magic circle and Sutton-Smith’s ideas on rhetoric of play as imaginary to then discuss flow and how playfulness cannot be tamed from Gameful World. 

Then, I think I’m going to discuss how we can consider graduate learning as play as we enter this discourse community and fully invest ourselves in it. 

I’m hoping I will be able to fit this within the word count, but I might need to cut some parts out. I’d appreciate some feedback to help refine my ideas here within the context of the “possibilities of play.” Thanks!

Choice Assignment

For my choice assignment, I am planning on writing the 4 blog posts and then creating a game.

Possibilities for Play

What Play Can Teach Us About Writing

Valuing Games as a Graduate Student

Game Analysis

For my game, I am hoping to create something that deals with rhetorical analysis (since I am an AP Language and Composition teacher). I am thinking of making it a quest game that has students create their own character and then has to take on different quests that deal with different rhetorical challenges. I am still working out the kinks, but I think that this will be super cool in my 2 sections of AP.

Peer Review Choice Project

For the choice project, I have decided to do:

Chapter Choice + Student Created Notes A and B

Blog Post - What play can teach us about writing

Blog Post - Game Analysis

Create a Game

In creating a game, I am thinking about doing something that has to do with grammar and syntax. I have in the past taught one grammatical pattern per week (about 5-10 min per day) and kids have really enjoyed it and found it helpful for their writing. In thinking about a game, I don’t want the game objectives to be an external objective. I want the grammar-learning to be the focus of the game. I’m wondering, in everyone’s experience, if I should make this a digital game or “on-paper” game. Additionally, I’m also wondering if anyone has suggestions of what sources I should look at (from class) that you think would give me a better view into making the game.

Thanks!

I'm sharing this post with you all because I believe you will find this chapter valuable, just as I did.

3 Main Ideas from "Decolonising Science Communication in the Caribbean: Challenges and Transformations in Community-Based Engagement with Research on the ABCSSS Islands"

Decolonizing science communication in the Caribbean

Science communication often excludes local contexts and voices. Researchers fly in, collect data, and leave without meaningful engagement. This "helicopter science" echoes colonial practices.

Decolonizing science communication means centering local knowledge, needs and perspectives.

Challenges in nature conservation communication

Nature conservation relied on "fortress conservation" to create parks without local input. This leads to conflict and lack of public engagement.

Research agendas are often dictated by foreign interests and lack local impact.

Transforming mental health care communication

Mental health care communication often excludes local cultural beliefs. Historical mistrust of healthcare systems deters access.

New efforts like translating materials into local languages can help make communication more inclusive.

Advocate for science communication that engages local populations as equal partners.

Please let me know in the comments which article I should tackle next!

Some of the most common neurological disorders include:

Stroke: A stroke is a sudden loss of brain function caused by a blood clot or bleeding in the brain.

Multiple sclerosis: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease that affects the central nervous system. It is characterized by inflammation and damage to the myelin sheath, which is a protective layer that surrounds nerve fibers.

What is Play? Essay

Definition: Play is an activity used to make sense of the world around us and who we are through creativity, choice, and a suspension of time.

Plan:

I'm probably going to focus this through learning, not necessarily classroom learning, but what we get from it that's not material since play is lifelong and not just for children

Direct quotes of support of definition

Personal examples to demonstrate thinking

Full working Doc. Always here for feedback from others :) Knowing myself, I'm going to change all of this before it gets submitted.

Graduate Writing Definition (Module 3, Peer Review)

So far, my definition is: “Graduate writing is the ultimate reflection of self and choice as the learner builds upon prior knowledge and experiences to creatively experiment within a specified context.” I am planning on using the WPA Outcomes to set up my thoughts, then use the Writing Transfer Knowledge reading to discuss prior knowledge, and finally discuss the creativity, experimentation, and reflection aspects with the Gameful World chapters. I think I should be able to pull examples from my current graduate writing, but I’m concerned that I won’t have enough to personally work from that are concrete examples. I also don’t know how much I need to be directly stating that my ideas are rooted in play, or assume that my reader knows about play. Also, I’m hoping that my definition is clear for readers. Thanks in advance for the input everyone!

What is Graduate Writing Peer Review

Here is what I am working with as of right now for my theory of what is graduate writing:

Graduate writing is both a mindset and a task that urges graduate students to creatively and intellectually create claims and new ideas based on research and theory being proposed in their graduate courses. Graduate writing is an analytical process that synthesizes theory with innovative, original ideas from the graduate student that produces scholarly conversations and new findings within the field of research. As we study play theory in the Writing/Games writing course, we can find that play theory can strengthen and enhance graduate writing through its autonomy and gamification of topics. 

All feedback is welcome!

How to Develop Critical Thinking Skills in School

Critical thinking is an essential skill that students need to develop to succeed in school and beyond. It involves analyzing information, evaluating evidence, and reasoning logically to make informed decisions. Developing critical thinking skills in school can help students become better problem solvers, enhance their creativity, and prepare them for the complexities of the modern world. This article explores various strategies and approaches that can be used to cultivate critical thinking skills in students from elementary school through higher education.

Understanding Critical Thinking

Critical thinking is a multi-faceted cognitive process that includes skills such as analysis, evaluation, inference, and synthesis. According to the American Philosophical Association, critical thinking involves purposeful, self-regulatory judgment that results in interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and inference, as well as the explanation of the evidential, conceptual, methodological, criteriological, or contextual considerations upon which that judgment is based .

Strategies to Develop Critical Thinking Skills

1. Encouraging Inquiry-Based Learning

Inquiry-based learning is a student-centered approach that encourages students to ask questions, conduct research, and develop solutions based on their findings. This method fosters critical thinking by requiring students to engage deeply with the material, consider various perspectives, and draw conclusions based on evidence.

Implementation: Teachers can create a classroom environment that promotes curiosity by posing open-ended questions, facilitating discussions, and encouraging students to explore topics of interest. For example, in a science class, instead of providing a fixed experiment, teachers can ask students to design their own experiments to test a hypothesis.

2. Integrating Problem-Based Learning (PBL)

Problem-Based Learning is an instructional method where students learn through solving complex, real-world problems. PBL helps students develop critical thinking skills by requiring them to identify the problem, gather information, analyze data, and propose solutions.

Implementation: In a social studies class, teachers might present a current global issue, such as climate change, and ask students to work in groups to research the causes, impacts, and potential solutions. This collaborative approach helps students learn to evaluate information critically and consider multiple viewpoints.

3. Using Socratic Questioning

Socratic questioning is a technique that involves asking a series of thought-provoking questions to encourage deeper thinking and reflection. This method helps students examine their assumptions, evaluate the validity of their arguments, and explore the implications of their ideas.

Implementation: Teachers can use Socratic questioning during class discussions by asking questions such as, "What evidence supports your argument?", "How does this perspective compare to others?", and "What are the potential consequences of this action?" This encourages students to think more deeply and critically about the subject matter.

4. Promoting Metacognition

Metacognition refers to the awareness and regulation of one's own thinking processes. Teaching students to think about their thinking helps them become more self-aware and strategic learners, which is essential for critical thinking.

Implementation: Educators can incorporate metacognitive strategies by encouraging students to reflect on their learning processes, set goals, and monitor their progress. For example, after completing an assignment, students can be asked to write a reflection on what strategies they used, what worked well, and what they could improve next time.

5. Incorporating Case Studies

Case studies provide students with real-life scenarios that require critical analysis and decision-making. By examining case studies, students learn to apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations, analyze complex issues, and develop reasoned arguments.

Implementation: In a business class, students might analyze a case study of a company facing ethical dilemmas. They would need to evaluate the situation, consider the stakeholders involved, and propose a course of action based on their analysis. This approach helps students develop critical thinking skills by applying their knowledge to real-world contexts.

6. Encouraging Debates and Discussions

Debates and discussions are effective ways to develop critical thinking skills as they require students to articulate their viewpoints, defend their arguments, and consider opposing perspectives.

Implementation: Teachers can organize debates on controversial topics, encouraging students to research their positions and present their arguments in a structured format. This helps students develop skills in reasoning, analysis, and persuasion.

7. Fostering a Growth Mindset

A growth mindset, as defined by psychologist Carol Dweck, is the belief that abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. Encouraging a growth mindset in students helps them view challenges as opportunities for growth and fosters resilience and perseverance.

Implementation: Educators can promote a growth mindset by praising effort rather than innate ability, providing constructive feedback, and encouraging students to embrace challenges. For example, when a student struggles with a difficult math problem, the teacher can highlight the learning process and effort involved rather than focusing solely on the correct answer.

8. Using Technology and Digital Tools

Technology can be a powerful tool for developing critical thinking skills. Digital platforms and tools can provide students with access to vast amounts of information, encourage collaboration, and facilitate interactive learning experiences.

Implementation: Teachers can use online discussion forums, virtual simulations, and educational apps to create engaging and interactive learning experiences. For instance, using a platform like Google Classroom, teachers can create collaborative projects where students work together to solve problems and share their findings.

9. Applying Bloom's Taxonomy

Bloom's Taxonomy is a framework that categorizes cognitive skills into six levels: Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, and Creating. Using Bloom's Taxonomy, teachers can design activities that promote higher-order thinking skills.

Implementation: Educators can create assignments that move beyond basic recall of information to tasks that require analysis, evaluation, and creation. For example, in a literature class, instead of asking students to summarize a story, teachers can ask them to analyze the motivations of the characters and evaluate the author's message.

10. Encouraging Peer Review

Peer review is a process where students evaluate each other’s work, providing constructive feedback. This not only helps students improve their own work but also develops their ability to critically assess the work of others.

Implementation: In writing classes, teachers can organize peer review sessions where students exchange essays and provide feedback based on specific criteria. This practice helps students develop critical thinking skills by analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of their peers' work and considering how to incorporate feedback into their own revisions.

Conclusion

Developing critical thinking skills in school is essential for preparing students to navigate the complexities of the modern world. By integrating strategies such as inquiry-based learning, problem-based learning, Socratic questioning, metacognition, case studies, debates, fostering a growth mindset, using technology, applying Bloom's Taxonomy, and encouraging peer review, educators can create a learning environment that promotes critical thinking. These skills not only enhance academic performance but also prepare students for lifelong learning and success in their personal and professional lives.

By fostering an environment that encourages curiosity, reflection, and rigorous analysis, educators can help students develop the critical thinking skills they need to succeed in an ever-changing world.
