Thesis (Ph.D.)--New Mexico State University, 2015.

The field of basic writing (BW) faces three key challenges that inspired this study: the course's status is in flux within the academy, scholarship has been student-vacant for too long and privileges the instructor's perspective over the student's experiences, and the curriculum must adapt to meet the demands of a digital culture. These three key challenges are addressed in this study. First, because states are adopting laws that change how developmental education is delivered, the study offers suggestions for how to effectively combine reading and writing instruction using technology and digital media tools. Second, this study turns to students for information about their experiences and uses that information to make recommendations about how to improve the BW curriculum. Third, this study indicates the need for digital literacy instruction and puts forth a rationale for revising the BW curriculum to better address that the 21st century demands from students.

520 $a The field of basic writing (BW) faces three key challenges that inspired this study: the course's status is in flux within the academy, scholarship has been student-vacant for too long and privileges the instructor's perspective over the student's experiences, and the curriculum must adapt to meet the demands of a digital culture. These three key challenges are addressed in this study. First, because states are adopting laws that change how developmental education is delivered, the study offers suggestions for how to effectively combine reading and writing instruction using technology and digital media tools. Second, this study turns to students for information about their experiences and uses that information to make recommendations about how to improve the BW curriculum. Third, this study indicates the need for digital literacy instruction and puts forth a rationale for revising the BW curriculum to better address that the 21st century demands from students.
520 $a For this project, I designed a mixed-methods study that aimed to answer the following research question: What are community college basic writing students' self-assessed uses and practices, confidence levels and perceived abilities, and attitudes and perceptions concerning digital literacy? The purpose of this study was to understand, from the students' perspectives, their readiness to succeed in learning to write in digital environments. BW students at an east coast community college responded to an online survey about their perceptions of digital literacy. The results reveal important information about students' current uses and practices, confidence levels and perceived abilities, and attitudes and perceptions concerning digital literacy. The results indicate that BW students desire a curriculum that teaches reading and writing instruction through a digital literacy lens. Additionally, students are interested in composing non-traditional, multimodal, digital texts.
520 $a The study concludes by offering four main recommendations for revising the BW curriculum. These recommendations include employing a read-write pedagogy, cultivating a collaborative, cooperative classroom environment, prioritizing students' voices in scholarship, and rethinking the basic writing course as a basic communication course.
