The idea of a writing laboratory / Neal Lerner. - Carbondale : Southern Illinois University Press, ©2009. - 1 online resource (viii, 231 pages) : illustrations
Includes bibliographical references (pages 205-224) and index.
The secret origins of writing centers -- Writing in the science laboratory: opportunities lost -- The writing of school science -- The two poles of writing lab history: Minnesota and Dartmouth -- Project English and the quest for federal funding -- Drawing to learn science: lessons of Agassiz -- The laboratory in theory: from mental discipline to situated learning -- The laboratory in practice: a study of a biological engineering class.
The Idea of a Writing Laboratory is a book about possibilities, about teaching and learning to write in ways that can transform both teachers and students. Author Neal Lerner explores higher education's rich history of writing instruction in classrooms, writing centers and science laboratories. By tracing the roots of writing and science educators' recognition that the method of the lab--hands-on student activity-is essential to learning, Lerner offers the hope that the idea of a writing laboratory will be fully realized more than a century after bot.
