“This purposeful summary–response process motivates [students] to break free of simplistic commentary (“I liked it,” “I don’t agree,” and so on) and express [themselves] with meaningful, active participation in an academic conversation.” John Goshert, Entering the Academic Conversation
49
Three-column Reading Log QuotationSummaryResponse Critical engagement requires students to go beyond reporting on a text and assume a position of authority from which they can ask questions, examine details, agree and disagree knowledgably, and provide their responses. Careful, active, critical reading and accurate summary give them the foundation from which they can respond credibly and fully engage with the text. The engaged response is an opportunity to participate with the source in the academic conversation. (page 109) Through critical engagement with academic texts, students become authorities and active participants in the academic conversation. Goshert’s suggested model is intended to empower students. He does not underestimate their potential to become authorities – How do cultural factors and ingrained educational paradigms come into play?
