Wijekumar, Kay; Graham, Steve; Harris, Karen R.; Lei, Pui-Wa; Barkel, Ashley; Aitken, Angelique; Ray, Amber; Houston, Julia – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2019
A core tenet of the model of domain learning is that learning is shaped by cognitive and motivational forces.

Bangert-Drowns, Robert L.; Hurley, Marlene M.; Wilkinson, Barbara – Review of Educational Research, 2004
Since the early 1970s, many educators have touted writing as a means of enhancing learning. Several reasons have been suggested for this purported enhancement: that writing is a form of learning, that writing approximates human speech, that writing supports learning strategies. Alternatively, some researchers have cautioned that the educative…

Turner, Thomas; Broemmel, Amy – Science Scope, 2006
Any science teacher who wants his or her students to be engaged in real science is going to engage them in real science writing. Writing in science should begin with clear, imaginative writing purposes and stimuli that are then scaffolded in such a way that students are able to find an organizational structure for their writing. Writing fluency is…

The report focuses on all students, not just those who display writing difficulties, although this latter group is deservedly the focus of much attention. The premise of this report is that all students…
