RESEARCHING THE WRITING CENTER - TERESE THONUS ...

Researching the Writing Center is the first book-length treatment of the research base for
academic writing tutoring. The book reviews the current state of writing center scholarship 
arguing that although they continue to value anecdotal and experiential evidence 
practitioner-researchers must also appreciate empirical evidence as mediating theory and
practice. Readers of this book will discover an evidence-based orientation to research and be
able to evaluate the current scholarship on recommended writing center practice. Chapters
examine the research base for current theory and practice involving the contexts of tutoring 
tutoring activities  and the tutoring of «different» populations. Readers will investigate the
sample research question  «What is a 'successful' writing consultation?» The book concludes
with an agenda for future questions about writing center practice that can be researched
empirically. Researching the Writing Center is intended for writing center professionals 
researchers  graduate students in English  composition studies  and education  and peer tutors
in training.
