随着跨课程写作(WAC)作为一个概念和美国高等教育的组织结构已经成熟和多样化,人们需要准确,最新的信息WAC和学科写作(WID)计划的存在和特点。继1987年对WAC/WID进行的唯一一次全国性调查之后,来自美国/加拿大对国际WAC/WID绘图项目的调查表明,美国机构中此类项目的数量增加了约三分之一。此外,在这些方案的正式组成部分、机构内关系、资金来源、报告关系和领导特征(例如,教师级别和服务年限)。此外,将所有报告机构提供的数据与完善的方案提供的数据进行比较,可以看出一些可持续性模式。
As writing across the curriculum (WAC) has matured and diversified as a concept and as an organizational structure in U.S. higher education, there has arisen a need for accurate, up-to-date information on the presence and characteristics of WAC and writing-in-the-disciplines (WID) programs. Following on the only previous nationwide survey of WAC/WID in 1987, new data from the U.S./Canada survey of the International WAC/WID Mapping Project indicate that the presence of such programs has grown in U.S. institutions by roughly one-third. Moreover, clear patterns emerge regarding the formal components of these programs, their intra-institutional relationships, funding sources, reporting lines, and characteristics of leadership (e.g., faculty rank and length of service). Further, a comparison of data from all reporting institutions with those from well-established programs indicates some patterns of sustainability.
