Building linguistic subject knowledge for writing instruction: Teacher responses to professional learning

Arnold, Julie L. (2019) Building linguistic subject knowledge for writing instruction: Teacher responses to professional learning. Master of Philosophy thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This study contributes to knowledge about teacher professional learning, in particular a theorisation of the process of turning linguistic subject knowledge into effective pedagogy for writing. The research project explored teacher responses to professional learning about language in the Australian Curriculum: English, Year 10. Systemic functional linguistics provided a framework for collaborative decision-making about specific professional learning needs. Design-based research methodology provided insight into how teachers' developing knowledge base influenced decisions about the planning and delivery of writing instruction. Further, Lee Shulman's approach to pedagogical reasoning and action supported an analysis of teachers' accounts of the decisions they made.
