ABSTRACT

PhD candidates face heavy workloads and lack strategies to prioritize their dissertation, resulting in limited writing opportunities and low confidence in writing capabilities. Although writing retreats are known to propel academics’ writing productivity, little is known about how they may assist PhD candidates in enhancing writing self-efficacy and self-regulation. An Explanatory Sequential Mixed Method with a quasi-experimental design was used to examine the impacts of writing retreats on PhD candidates’ internal factors (writing self-efficacy and self-regulation) and external factors (urgency and opportunities to write). An experimental group (n = 34) and a control group (n = 64) answered a questionnaire measuring retreat effects, after which a subsample (n = 30) was interviewed to further interpret these effects. In sum, writing retreats enhance PhD candidates’ writing self-efficacy and self-regulation through goals setting and time management practices. Recommendations are provided about using socially structured writing activities to support PhD candidates’ dissertation advancement.

写作静修如何成为提高博士生写作自我效能和自我调节的理想机会

摘要

博士生面临繁重的工作量,缺乏确定论文优先顺序的策略,导致写作机会有限,对写作能力缺乏信心。尽管众所周知,写作静修会提高学者的写作效率,但人们对它们如何帮助博士生提高写作自我效能和自我调节知之甚少。采用准实验设计的解释性序贯混合方法来考察写作静修对博士生内部因素(写作自我效能和自我调节)和外部因素(写作的紧迫性和机会)的影响。实验组 ( n  = 34) 和对照组 ( n  = 64) 回答了测量撤退效果的问卷,之后子样本 ( n = 30)接受采访以进一步解释这些影响。总之,写作静修通过目标设定和时间管理实践来提高博士生的写作自我效能和自我调节能力。提供了有关使用社会结构化写作活动来支持博士候选人论文进展的建议。
