Identity and agency: Exploring the relationship between theory and professional practice in Healthcare students' academic writing

随着高等教育中职业类课程的日益普及，高职学生的写作需求越来越受到关注。这些学生通常来自广泛参与（WP）背景，他们经常感到没有准备好处理课程所要求的多种作业类型。本研究采用定性的个案研究设计，通过问卷调查、半结构化访谈和对学生写作的分析，探讨了卫生与社会护理专业写作的本质和学生写作所面临的挑战。E. ofEngland和结果将提供重要的见解职业学生writers.Conclusions的经验，将提供切实可行的建议，为大学在支持和留住WP学生，并将有助于更广泛的辩论识字技能在英国教育。这项研究将增加现有的文献，通过考虑所面临的语言挑战bhealthcare学生作家，也通过探索更深层次的写作前的过程中，学生从事whennavigating的理论，实践，身份和机构的问题。本研究将探讨以下研究问题：1.卫生专业学生对理论与实务关系的认知为何？(To生活经验在多大程度上与学术理论一致？）2.医疗保健专业的学生在写作中表达这种关系的经验是什么？(Who他们是在写作的时候吗？他们在文化上、专业上、个人上代表自己的自由度有多大？）3.如何有效的学术素养干预敏感的学生作家的身份，声音和机构在他们的写作问题？我采用了一个论文论文的路线，使用以下结构来探讨关键主题：论文1：“人”-个人对理论与实践之间关系的理解，以及他们作为学生作家的认同感和能动性。论文2：“写作”-个人如何在写作中阐明理论与实践之间的关系，并就认同感和能动性问题进行谈判。论文3：“学习环境”-机构如何支持学生作家。工作时间表论文1的背景阅读已经完成，文献综述正在起草中。下一年工作计划：完成伦理审批申请（2020年2月之前）2020年4月之前进行“培训需求分析”确定的培训设计问卷/面试问题（2020年6月前）进行试验/初步访谈/问卷调查阶段的研究（2020年5月前）在2020年6月前开始起草论文1的文献综述完成日期：第一份文件将于2021年6月前草拟第二份文件将于2022- 23年前草拟第三份文件2023- 24年预计完成日期：2025年

With the increasing academisation of vocational courses in Higher Education (HE), attention is beingdrawn to the writing needs of students on vocational programmes. Often from widening-participation(WP) backgrounds, these students frequently feel unprepared to tackle the multiple assignment typesrequired by their courses. Adopting a qualitative case study design, this research explores the nature ofwriting in the discipline of Health and Social Care and the challenges facing student-writers.Questionnaires, semi structured interviews and analysis of student writing will be used to gather data.Participants will be drawn from foundation and undergraduate cohorts at a university in the S. E. ofEngland and results will provide important insights into the experiences of vocational student-writers.Conclusions will offer practical recommendations for universities in supporting and retaining WP students,and will contribute to wider debates about literacy skills in UK education. This research will add to the existing literature by considering the linguistic challenges faced byHealthcare student-writers,and also by exploring deeper pre-writing processes students engage in whennavigating issues of theory, practice, identity and agency. The study will address the following researchquestions:1.What are Healthcare students' perceptions of the relationship between theory and practice? (To whatextent does lived experience align with academic theory?) 2.What are Healthcare students' experiences of articulating this relationship in their writing? (Who arethey when they are writing? How free are they to represent themselves culturally, professionally,personally?) 3.How effective are academic literacy interventions in sensitising student-writers to issues of identity,voice and agency in their writing? I am adopting a thesis by-paper route using the following structure to explore key themes: Paper 1:'The person'-the individual's understanding of the relationship between theory and practice andtheir sense of identity and agency as student-writers.Paper 2:'The writing'-how the individual articulates the relationship between theory and practice in theirwriting and negotiates issues of identity and agency.Paper 3:'The learning environment(s)'-how the institution supports student-writers Schedule of work Background reading for Paper 1 is already complete and the literature review is being drafted. Plans for work over the next year: To complete ethical approval application (by February 2020)Undertake training identified from 'training needs analysis' by April 2020Design questionnaire/interview questions (by June 2020)To conduct pilot/initial interviews/questionnaire phase of research (by May 2020)To begin drafting Literature Review for paper one by June 2020Dates individual papers completed: Paper one to be drafted by June 2021Paper two to be drafted by 2022-23Paper three 2023-24Expected completion date: 2025
