Abstract
This paper reports a UK Higher Education Academy funded study aimed at exploring research students’ perceptions of what helps them develop their academic writing. Recent graduates and students from across disciplines were asked questions around four themes: (a) supervisors’ feedback; (b) training; (c) cohort experiences; and (d) personal strategies for writing development. This paper builds on the interim results discussed at BERA 2012 and presents a new generative model of research students’ academic writing development. The model includes the factors influencing this development and captures the dynamic processes that affect higher level thinking. The model may be used as a discussion tool to build a shared student-staff understanding of effective feedback for academic writing across research degree providers globally.
