- Abstract
- A constructivist philososphy is necessary if information seeking skills or writing is taught as a process. Students learn in a collaborative environment enabling them to construct meaning from their prior knowledge coupled with the new information they seek. Research conducted in a middle school writing centre supported data collected earlier by Kuhlthau. The information seeking process and the writing process complement one another and can be infused as the web that integrates the entrie curriculum. This experiment in encouraging middle school teachers to use a writing centre demonstrated the difficulty of teaching writing as a process when the curriculum and the teaching approaches do not support constructivism
