Description

This volume explores three dominant pedagogical theories in composition theory-expressivist, cognitivist, and social-constructivist-whilst building a comprehensive critique of modern composition scholarship. The work addresses a significant gap in the field by examining ontological foundations that have been overshadowed by epistemological concerns. Emerging from decades of intellectual debate and pedagogical transformation in higher education, this study reveals how composition theory has evolved as a response to institutional challenges. Critical Realism and Composition Theory offers scholars, educators, and students a rigorous framework for reconsidering theoretical assumptions that underpin writing instruction and educational practice. The Routledge Studies in Critical Realism series positions this examination within contemporary philosophy of education, making it essential reading for those seeking to understand the philosophical grounding of compositional pedagogy and its implications for teaching and learning in higher education contexts.

Key Features

Critical Realism and Composition Theory examines expressivist, cognitivist, and social-constructivist pedagogical approaches within composition studies.

This Routledge Studies volume addresses the ontological foundations of composition theory that have been neglected in modern scholarship.

The book situates composition theory within four decades of intellectual turmoil and pedagogical debates in higher education reform.

Readers gain philosophical frameworks for understanding how epistemological concerns have dominated composition discourse at the expense of foundational theory.
