Thematic analysis of student reflections and interviews found students view academic writing as a test of skills, but view community-engaged writing as a product with a purpose in the world. We also learned students need to understand the position of their writing within a rhetorical situation to successfully incorporate the concept of audience into their writing processes. Finally, students revealed they focus most on audience during the revision process and that community-engaged writing provides students with the incentive and rhetorical situation necessary to develop a more impactful revision process.  \nThese findings will help composition instructors identify academic results in community-engaged pedagogy, while the process orientation of the study provides a better understanding of how students incorporate the concept of audience into their writing with implications beyond community-engaged writing courses.  \nDespauditieenincestruHctavrnsg’ bestspenteffothretsir,estduudcants oionalftenlivesstrbueiggnglettoauguhdetorstwarnitde for a teacher, university students often experience difficulty transitioning to contextually based writing. In response, composition scholars have embraced authentic writing assignments as a way to help students better understand writing for a rhetorical situation, and yet, students can still struggle to understand audience. Given this paradox, we wanted to explore why audience rarely exists beyond the teacher or classroom for many students. We were curious if community-engaged writing projects could provide students with experience in the circulation of modern texts through a complex rhetorical ecology impacting the way they think about audience.  \nIn this study, we examine the use of community-engaged writing and the authentic, contextualized writing projects it creates to see if communityengaged writing impacts student understanding of the concept of audience and how they incorporate such foundational knowledge into their writing process. While significant research has been conducted regarding the effectiveness of community-engaged learning on student civic and personal development,  \nComposition Studies 48.3 (2020): 35–52  \nthe scholarship regarding the impact of community-engaged learning on the development of course content knowledge is growing. To build on that scholarship, we examined the writing processes of students in community-engaged and non-community-engaged sections of the same first year writing course. We used thematic analysis of student reflections and interviews to provide a holistic view of the impact of community-engaged writing on student understanding and application of audience.  \nThe results were striking. Reflections and interviews indicate students view academic writing as a test of skills, but view community-engaged writing as a product with a purpose in the world. We also found traditional assignments did not help students understand the position of their writing within a rhetorical situation, whereas community-engaged writing did. Finally, we found students focus most on audience during the revision process and that authentic writing assignments, like community-engaged writing, provide students with the incentive and rhetorical situation necessary to develop a more authentic revision process. These findings help composition instructors identify academic results in community-engaged pedagogy, while the study’s process orientation provides a better understanding of how students incorporate the concept of audience with implications beyond community-engaged courses.  \nCritical Com","cbCaivODbLdksG36","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivODbLdksG36","pdf",135682,18,"English","# Community-engaged writing and audience understanding\n## Research approach and analytic method\n## Key findings on academic vs. community-engaged writing\n## Need for rhetorical situation awareness","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study investigates whether community-engaged writing helps students understand the concept of audience and incorporate it into their writing process.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the researchers analyze students’ experiences?\",\"answer\":\"The researchers used thematic analysis of student reflections and interviews, comparing community-engaged and non-community-engaged sections of the same first-year writing course.\"},{\"question\":\"How do students perceive academic writing versus community-engaged writing?\",\"answer\":\"Students tend to view academic writing as a test of skills, while they view community-engaged writing as a product with a purpose in the world.\"}]","The Impact of Critical Community-Engaged Writing on Student Understanding of Audience | PDF",1792088363,45]
