As far as I can see, it seems that the Process movement isn't exactly the right answer towards writing, Mastudu even thinks so, but it's a step in the proper direction. Allowing to teach so that "writing constitutes a process of some sort and that this process is generalizable, at least to the extent that we know when to intervene in someone’s writing process or to the extent that we know the process that experienced or ‘expert’ writers employ as they write" tells me that the students should be allowed to write, but the teachers should only intervene when needed.
As far as history goes, I didn't realize that the Process movement wasn't the first movement to reform composition instruction. According to the article, composition instruction has received much reform over the past 100 years, and "and many of the tenets of process pedagogy
existed long before the rise of the process movement in the latter half of the
20th century"(69). This tells me that even now, the pedagogy for composition instruction will probably change in the next 100 years.
