In an innovative mixed-methods, action research study, Dr. Brimi
explores the effect of research- based writing instruction on the
intrinsic motivation of extrinsically-motivated students. Brimi's
work demonstrates how ten simple principles for teaching
composition can positively affect the attitudes and performance of
high school students. Brimi's research utilizes survey data, focus
group commentaries, and document analysis to capture the experience
of students who pursue high marks in school, but who typically do
not enjoy writing. After four months of instruction guided by
Brimi's principles, the students find writing both relevant and
enjoyable.
