This article aims at presenting the argument for the modification of Dennis Earl’s “four-sentence paper” template into the “six-line essay” writing intervention. The underlying reason for this research is a relative paucity of literature covering the topic of philosophy writing interventions at a beginner’s level. In order to fill this gap, the article takes the following course. For general background, it presents the general views on teaching essay writing and the relative unavailability of philosophy-directed methods and techniques. It then describes Earl’s template in relative detail. Further, it refers to my experience teaching philosophical writing to University of Zululand students. Next, it describes the specific group of students with whom I first tried the method in 2019 and whose needs prompted the modifications. I then explain the “six-line essay” model step by step, commenting on the rationale behind each step and the way in which it is presented to students. True to form, the article also presents objections and the relevant counterarguments. Finally, the article points to the possibility of further, more structured research, with formal questionnaires/structured interviews and their subsequent analysis.

一年级哲学系学生的“六线论文”写作干预:初步报告

本文旨在提出将Dennis Earl的“四句论文”模板修改为“六行论文”写作干预的论点。进行这项研究的根本原因是相对缺乏文献,涉及了初学者水平的哲学写作干预的主题。为了填补这一空白,本文采取了以下过程。对于一般的背景,它提出了关于教学论文写作的一般观点以及哲学指导的方法和技术的相对缺乏。然后,它相对详细地描述了Earl的模板。此外,它是指我向祖鲁兰大学的学生教授哲学写作的经验。接下来,它描述了我在2019年首次尝试使用该方法的特定学生群体,这些学生的需求促使他们进行了修改。然后,我将逐步解释“六行作文”模型,评论每个步骤背后的原理以及向学生展示该模型的方式。真实的形式,本文还提出了反对意见和相关的反对意见。最后,本文指出了通过正式问卷/结构化访谈及其后续分析进行进一步,更结构化研究的可能性。
