More Details

Summary:

"This book focuses on best practice in writing for the Education dissertation. It concentrates on the processes of writing as thinking. These processes account for the very necessary uncertainty, decision-making, brainstorming, draft writing, and revision experiences when one writes about something new. Its key assumption is that writing is not the aftermath of thought, but thought itself. The book offers strategies for these processes, using writing and drawing on numerous real writing examples to help students invent, think through, write, rethink, and rewrite as they develop and present their innovations. Suitable for all doctoral students of Education and others looking for tips and advice on the best dissertation writing"-- [Provided by publisher]
