Teaching English in the Two-Year College Dec 2003

Growing Researchers Using an Information-Retrieval Scaffold

Helen Foster

Abstract

In the first-year composition research class, a disproportionate pedagogical focus is placed on the use of the library, rather than on the more difficult and integral problems of how to read, interpret, and analyze information the library offers, how to translate and synthesize this into knowledge, and how to produce a research product worthy of the genre.
