Research writing
Three metaphors for writing-up research
-
•“Effective educational research writing can be seen in terms of:
-
•The literary analogy: A good research report has a narrative that leads the reader through ‘the story’ of the research.
-
•The legal analogy: The author needs to make the case by a careful, logical argument, drawing upon convincing evidence.
-
•The pedagogic analogy: The author is a communicator, charged with informing readers about the research.” (Taber, 2013: 165)
