| Abstract | Writing transfer scholarship is more systematically investigating the influence of dispositions, which are internal qualities that influence how individuals react to learning contexts. In this article, we consider dispositions in science laboratories, which are important contexts for WAC/WID instruction, especially at institutions where these courses serve majors and other students simultaneously. Drawing on data from a larger longitudinal study of writing transfer in the major at a state comprehensive university, we offer case studies of two science laboratories developed from interviews with students and faculty, supported by analysis of student writing and instructional materials. Faculty approaches to teaching scientific writing varied in their engagement of "verification" and/or "inquiry" approaches to instruction, and also in ways they attempted to motivate prior knowledge, prepare students for future contexts, and help them develop scientific identities. Students' responses also varied, and dispositions strongly influenced the degree of success of pedagogical goals. Our findings contribute to efforts to identify the dispositions critical for writing instruction and to diversify the specific WAC/WID contexts where writing transfer is being considered.
