Abstract | This paper presents a cognitive model of journal writing as a metacognitive tool in understanding stories in an introduction to literature course. The methodology was primarily qualitative. Data included students' journals and class comments; surveys; individual learner characteristics; and case studies of five students. Findings indicated that: (1) students generally viewed journal writing as a flexible cognitive tool which helped them construct the meaning of stories; and (2) writing journals supports students in attending to details, asking questions, and answering their own questions. A two-part model was developed to describe the process: (1) factors which influence journal writing including task difficulty, individual learner characteristics, teacher expectations, student strategies, external resources, overt activities; and (2) components of journal writing including establishing a goal, constructing the textbase, constructing the situation model, predicting outcomes, identifying significant elements, reflecting on meaning, and assembling the schema. Recommendations for further research are included. (Contains 67 references.) (Author/JLB) |
