(Is it possible to do so without seeming rude?) Put another<br \/>\nway: What do we gain and lose by shifting <i>outcomes<\/i> from a noun to a<br \/>\nquestion? What comes out? Or what, with adherence to the listed dictums,<br \/>\nwould come out?<\/p>\n<p>That probably wouldn&#8217;t work becomes outcomes are answers, affirmations of the<br \/>\nimplications of a particular set of activities (often associated with formal<br \/>\nschooling). Because the answers or outcomes precede the activity, they run the<br \/>\nrisk of overdetermining the activity, reducing it to its forecast. They<br \/>\nare, for the most part, inertial rather than accelerative, a happy cocktail of<br \/>\nteleology, ideology and institution-ology. They depend upon clear, concise<br \/>\nlanguage, language that must not theorize, must not introduce perplexity (no<br \/>\nmatter how vital these things might be throughout the activity!). Outcomes,<br \/>\nnecessary though they are, might be the antithesis of inquiry. Inquiry<br \/>\nmoves ahead without full certainty or reassurance of already knowing.<br \/>\nInquiry knows not what will <i>come out<\/i>: wondering, wandering, guessing. <\/p>\n<p>In fairness, we can all recognize the need for removing these three<br \/>\nnuisances: theory, perplexity and inquiry. Outcomes statements must be the<br \/>\n<i>surest<\/i> answers; the activity would be a failure if it didn&#8217;t come out as<br \/>\npredicted, if it didn&#8217;t come out, that is, an exact match with the lowest<br \/>\nreplicable components (LRC).<\/p>\n<p>Last thing: this brings up an audience problem. I mention this because<br \/>\naudience seems to be a crossed-wires issue here. In &quot;Composition Studies:<br \/>\nDappled Discipline,&quot; citing Farrell, Lauer writes, &quot;In social fields, advocates<br \/>\nhave two kinds of audience: 1) the epistemic court of experts and 2) larger<br \/>\naffected populations for whom social knowledge exercises a rhetorical function,<br \/>\nattempting to gain their acceptance of its conclusions and to induce their<br \/>\naction&quot; (24). Eventually there&#8217;s a third audience (even if Lauer includes it<br \/>\nwith the second audience): &quot;those writing instructors and pedagogical advocates<br \/>\nwho are neither in touch with existing scholarship nor contributing to it&quot; (24).<br \/>\nWhat do I mean about an audience problem? The three audiences, again: <\/p>\n<p>1. Epistemic court (experts who keep up with the reading and write actively<br \/>\non the issues they profess)<br \/>\n2. General public<br \/>\n2a. Those who self-identify with the field but who neither keep up with the<br \/>\nscholarship nor write actively on the issues they profess<\/p>\n<p>Outcomes statements can&#8217;t appease all three audiences at once, and it&#8217;s<br \/>\naltogether likely that those in the first group will find them to be egregiously<br \/>\nreductive, simplistic and lacking in vitality (fair enough; Lauer<br \/>\nwasn&#8217;t writing about OSes, exactly). They must name only what is already known<br \/>\nto be possible as an LRC (and often such sure things are a few years old) rather than naming what is<br \/>\npossible or recently emerging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>As much as anything else, I wanted to gather together the full (re-released!) collection of interchange on &quot;computer literacy&quot; section of the WPA Outcomes Statement on technology.
