Using the concept of "plasticity," or the brain’s ability to
change through growth and reorganization, as a theoretical
framework, this book argues that encouraging an exploration of the
self better establishes emotional value in the composition
classroom. This book explores recent evidence from studies in
modern neuroscience to provide biological correlations between
current and developing theory and pedagogy in Composition Studies.
Starting with the concept of self, each subsequent chapter builds a
neurobiological understanding of how emotional value, intrinsic
motivation, creativity, and happiness are constructed and felt.
This material exploration shows how these factors can maintain
motivation, improve long-term memory, encourage creative risk, and
initiate complex considerations of being. Recognizing the shift in
Composition Studies to posthuman and new materialist methodologies,
this modern neuroscience is presented as a useful parallel
to—rather than being at odds with—these and other current
methodologies, theories, and pedagogies. Outlining the need for a
more student-focused, guided-discovery framework for the
composition classroom, this interdisciplinary resource will be of
interest to scholars and students in the field of Composition
Studies, Communication Studies, Education, Psychology, and
Philosophy.
