What is college humanities teachers’ relationship to writing?
Better understanding teachers’ relationship to writing is a prerequisite for introducing changes in practice and ultimately helping students develop effective reading/writing processes. Indeed, this understanding can help identify intervention avenues that are likely to bring about changes in teachers’ guidance practices. The objective of this study was to understand teachers’ relationship to writing. Accordingly, a descriptive study was performed in the form of a questionnaire-based (n=84) and interview-based (n=13) survey. The results show the extent to which teachers recognize the importance of developing their students’ writing skills, and uncover certain difficulties in their declared practices.
