Graphical representations and transfer of ideas between multi-draft pre-writing stages

In this study, 36 engineering students who were taking a course on effective communication used graphic organizers to prepare their draft for a writing task. This was followed by a review by peers and the teacher. As students often have difficulties constructing knowledge across representations, thi...
