Today’s youths are continuously engaged with social media. The informal language they use in computer-mediated communication (CMC) often deviates from spelling and grammar rules of the standard language. Therefore, parents and teachers fear that social media have a negative impact on youths’ literacy skills. This paper examines whether such worries are justifiable. An experimental study was conducted with 500 Dutch youths of different educational levels and age groups, to find out if social media affect their productive or perceptive writing skills. We measured whether chatting via WhatsApp directly impacts the writing quality of Dutch youths’ narratives or their ability to detect ‘spelling errors’ (deviations from Standard Dutch) in grammaticality judgement tasks. The use of WhatsApp turned out to have no short-term effects on participants’ performances on either of the writing tasks. Thus, the present study gives no cause for great concern about any impact of WhatsApp on youths’ school writing.
如今的年轻人不断参与社交媒体。他们在计算机媒介通信(CMC)中使用的非正式语言经常偏离标准语言的拼写和语法规则。因此,家长和老师担心社交媒体会对青少年的识字能力产生负面影响。本文考察了这种担忧是否合理。对500名不同教育水平和年龄组的荷兰青年进行了一项实验研究,以了解社交媒体是否会影响他们的写作能力或感知能力。我们测量了通过WhatsApp聊天是否直接影响荷兰年轻人叙述的写作质量,或他们在语法判断任务中检测“拼写错误”(与标准荷兰语的偏差)的能力。事实证明,WhatsApp的使用对参与者在两项写作任务中的表现都没有短期影响。因此,本研究没有理由高度关注WhatsApp对青少年学校写作的任何影响。

In keyboard writing, typing skills are considered an important prerequisite of proficient text production. We describe the design, implementation, and application of a standardized copy-typing task in order to measure and assess individual typing fluency. A test-retest analysis indicates the instrument’s reliability. While the task has been developed across eleven different languages and the related keyboard layouts, we here refer to a corpus of Dutch copy tasks (n = 1682). Analyses show that copying speed non-linearly varies with age. Bayesian analyses reveal differences in the typing performance and the underlying distributions of inter-key intervals between the different task components (e.g., lexical vs. non-lexical materials; high-frequent vs. lowfrequent bigrams). Based on these findings it is strongly recommended to include copy-task measures in the analysis of keystroke logging data in writing studies. This supports a better comparability and interpretability of keystroke data from more complex or communicatively-embedded writing tasks across individuals. Further potential applications of the copy task for writing research are explained and discussed.
在键盘书写中,打字技能被认为是精通文本制作的重要先决条件。为了测量和评估个人的打字流畅性,我们描述了一个标准化的打字任务的设计、实现和应用。测试-重测试分析表明了仪器的可靠性。虽然这个任务已经开发了11种不同的语言和相关的键盘布局,但我们在这里参考了荷兰语复制任务的语料库(n = 1682)。分析表明,复制速度随年龄呈非线性变化。贝叶斯分析揭示了不同任务组件(例如,词汇材料与非词汇材料;高频双元与低频双元)。基于这些发现,强烈建议在写作研究中的击键记录数据分析中包含复制任务度量。这支持来自更复杂或跨个体的通信嵌入式书写任务的击键数据的更好的可比性和可解释性。进一步的潜在应用的复制任务写作研究解释和讨论。

This article presents a new intervention for improving first-language writing fluency and reports an empirical study investigating the effects of this intervention on process and product measures of writing. The intervention explicitly encourages fluent text production by providing automated real-time feedback to the writer. Participants were twenty native-English-speaking undergraduate students at a large Midwestern university in the United States, all of whom were proficient writers. Each participant composed two texts (one in each of the control and the intervention condition) in an online text editor with embedded keystroke logging capabilities. Quantitative data consisted of product and process measures obtained from texts produced by participants in the control and the intervention condition, and qualitative data included participants’ responses to an openended questionnaire. Linear mixed-effects regression models were fit to the quantitative data to assess differences between conditions. Findings demonstrated that there were significant differences between the intervention and the control condition in terms of both the product and the process of writing. Specifically, participants wrote more text, expressed more ideas, and produced higher-quality texts in the fluency-focused intervention condition. Qualitative findings from questionnaire responses are also discussed.
本文提出了一种提高母语写作流畅性的新干预措施,并报告了一项实证研究,调查了这种干预措施对写作过程和产品措施的影响。通过向作者提供自动的实时反馈,干预明确地鼓励流畅的文本生产。参与者是美国中西部一所大型大学的20名以英语为母语的本科生,他们都是熟练的作家。每个参与者在具有嵌入式击键记录功能的在线文本编辑器中编写两篇文本(对照和干预条件各一篇)。定量数据包括从对照和干预条件下参与者产生的文本中获得的产品和过程测量,定性数据包括参与者对开放式问卷的回答。采用线性混合效应回归模型对定量数据进行拟合,以评估不同条件下的差异。研究结果表明,干预组与对照组在写作产品和写作过程上均存在显著差异。具体来说,在以流利度为重点的干预条件下,参与者写了更多的文本,表达了更多的想法,并产生了更高质量的文本。本文还讨论了问卷调查的定性结果。

Modeling, by demonstrating and explaining the cognitive processes involved in writing, has been shown to support writing development. Less often have specific disciplinary aspects of teaching with models been investigated. We draw on research in English Language Arts and apply it in social studies inquiry contexts to propose a framework for teaching models of thinking and writing that offers teachers and researchers new perspectives on the discipline-specific work of modeling. This framework accounts for three modes of instruction – use of models (a tool or a text), demonstrating and explaining, and co-constructing model texts with students – and describes eleven instructional practices that support instruction across these modes. We analyze data from three years of social studies instruction to show how two teachers enact these practices across the three modes to highlight the disciplinary thinking and processes that support writing social studies arguments with sources, highlighting the ways students can actively participate in teaching writing with models. In addition, we consider the role of the curriculum in this work. We show how writing instruction can address disciplinary ways of thinking in social studies and illustrate the potential of the framework for guiding researchers’ and practitioners’ work on writing instruction across disciplinary contexts.
建模,通过演示和解释与写作有关的认知过程,已被证明支持写作的发展。很少有特定的学科方面的教学模式进行调查。我们借鉴了英语语言艺术的研究,并将其应用于社会研究探究情境中,提出了一个思维和写作教学模型的框架,为教师和研究人员提供了关于特定学科建模工作的新视角。该框架说明了三种教学模式-使用模型(工具或文本),演示和解释,以及与学生共同构建模型文本-并描述了支持这些模式教学的11种教学实践。我们分析了三年社会研究教学的数据,以展示两位教师如何在三种模式中实施这些实践,以突出学科思维和过程,支持用来源撰写社会研究论证,突出学生可以积极参与教学的方式。此外,我们还考虑了课程在这项工作中的作用。我们展示了写作教学如何解决社会研究中的学科思维方式,并说明了指导研究人员和实践者跨学科写作教学工作的框架的潜力。

Keystroke loggers facilitate researchers to collect fine-grained process data and offer support in analyzing these data. Keystroke logging has become popular in writing research, and study by study we are now paving the path to a better understanding of writing process data. However, few researchers have concentrated on how to bring keystroke logging to the classroom. Not because they are not convinced that writing development could benefit from a more process-oriented pedagogy, but because 'translating' complex and large data sets to an educational context is challenging. Therefore, we have developed a new function in Inputlog, specifically aiming to facilitate writing tutors in providing process feedback to their students. Based on an XMLlogfile, the so-called 'report' function automatically generates a pdf-file addressing different perspectives of the writing process: pausing, revision, source use, and fluency. These perspectives are reported either quantitatively or visually. Brief introductory texts explain the information presented. Inputlog provides a default feedback report, but users can also customize the report. This paper describes the process report and demonstrates the use of it in an intervention. We also present some additional pedagogical scenarios to actively use this type of feedback in writing classes.
击键记录器有助于研究人员收集细粒度的过程数据,并为分析这些数据提供支持。击键记录在写作研究中已经很受欢迎,我们现在正通过一项又一项的研究为更好地理解写作过程数据铺平道路。然而,很少有研究人员专注于如何将击键记录引入课堂。这并不是因为他们不相信写作发展可以从更注重过程的教学法中受益,而是因为将复杂而庞大的数据集“翻译”到教育环境中具有挑战性。因此,我们在Inputlog中开发了一个新功能,专门用于帮助写作导师向学生提供过程反馈。基于XMLlogfile,所谓的“report”函数自动生成一个pdf文件,处理写作过程的不同角度:暂停、修订、源代码使用和流畅性。这些观点是定量或直观地报告的。简要的介绍性文本解释了所提供的信息。Inputlog提供默认的反馈报告,但用户也可以自定义报告。本文描述了过程报告,并演示了它在干预中的使用。我们还提供了一些额外的教学场景,以在写作课上积极使用这种类型的反馈。

Teaching the craft of written science communication is an arduous task that requires familiarity with disciplinary writing conventions. With the burgeoning of technological advancements, practitioners preparing novice research writers can begin to augment teaching and learning with activities in digital writing environments attuned to the conventions of scientific writing in the disciplines. The Research Writing Tutor (RWT) is one such technology. Grounded in an integrative theoretical framework, it was designed to help students acquire knowledge about the research article genre and develop research writing competence. One of its modules was designed to facilitate revision by providing different forms of automated feedback and scaffolding that are genre-based and discipline-specific. This study explores whether and how the features of the RWT may impact revision while using this module of the tool. Drawing from cognitive writing modeling, this study investigates the behaviors of a multidisciplinary group of 11 graduate-student writers by exploring how they interacted with the RWT’s features and how this interaction may create conditions for enhanced revision processes and text modifications. Findings demonstrate promising potential for the use of this automated feedback tool in fostering writers’ metacognitive processing during revision. This research adds to theory on cognitive writing models by acknowledging the evolving role of digital environments in writing practices and offering insights into future development of automated tools for genre-based writing instruction.
教授书面科学传播技巧是一项艰巨的任务,需要熟悉学科写作惯例。随着技术进步的蓬勃发展,为新手研究作家做准备的从业者可以开始在符合学科科学写作惯例的数字写作环境中开展活动,以加强教学。研究写作导师(RWT)就是这样一种技术。它以一个综合的理论框架为基础,旨在帮助学生获得有关研究文章类型的知识,并培养研究写作能力。其中一个模块旨在通过提供不同形式的基于类型和特定学科的自动反馈和脚手架来促进修订。本研究探讨了在使用该工具模块时,RWT的特征是否以及如何影响修订。根据认知写作模型,本研究调查了一个由11名研究生组成的多学科小组的作者的行为,探索他们如何与RWT的特征互动,以及这种互动如何为增强修改过程和文本修改创造条件。研究结果表明,在复习过程中,使用这种自动反馈工具来培养作者的元认知处理具有很好的潜力。这项研究通过承认数字环境在写作实践中不断演变的作用,为基于类型的写作教学自动化工具的未来发展提供了见解,从而为认知写作模型的理论增添了新的内容。

Written communication is an important skill across academia, the workplace, and civic participation. Effective writing incorporates instantiations of particular text structures - rhetorical moves - that communicate intent to the reader. These rhetorical moves are important across a range of academic styles of writing, including essays and research abstracts, as well as in forms of writing in which one reflects on learning gained through experience. However, learning how to effectively instantiate and use these rhetorical moves is a challenge. Moreover, educators often struggle to provide feedback supporting this learning, particularly at scale. Where effective support is provided, the techniques can be hard to share beyond single implementation sites. We address these challenges through the open-source AcaWriter tool, which provides feedback on rhetorical moves, with a design that allows feedback customization for specific contexts. We introduce three example implementations in which we have customized the tool and evaluated it with regard to user perceptions, and its impact on student writing. We discuss the tool's general theoretical background and provide a detailed technical account. We conclude with four recommendations that emphasize the potential of collaborative approaches in building, sharing and evaluating writing tools in research and practice.
书面沟通在学术界、工作场所和公民参与中都是一项重要的技能。有效的写作包含特定文本结构的实例-修辞动作-向读者传达意图。这些修辞动作在各种学术写作风格中都很重要,包括论文和研究摘要,以及在反思通过经验获得的学习的写作形式中。然而,学习如何有效地实例化和使用这些修辞动作是一个挑战。此外,教育工作者往往难以提供支持这种学习的反馈,特别是在规模上。在提供有效支持的情况下,很难在单个实现站点之外共享技术。我们通过开源的AcaWriter工具来解决这些挑战,该工具可以提供关于修辞动作的反馈,其设计允许针对特定上下文进行反馈定制。我们介绍了三个示例实现,其中我们定制了该工具,并根据用户感知及其对学生写作的影响对其进行了评估。我们讨论了该工具的一般理论背景,并提供了详细的技术说明。最后,我们提出了四条建议,强调协作方法在研究和实践中构建、共享和评估写作工具方面的潜力。

There is increasing evidence that automated writing evaluation (AWE) systems support the teaching and learning of writing in meaningful ways. However, a dearth of research has explored ways that AWE may be integrated within different instructional contexts and examined the associated effects on students’ writing performance. This paper describes the AWE system MI Write and presents results of a mixed-methods study that investigated the integration and implementation of AWE with writing instruction at the middle-school level, examining AWE integration within both a traditional process approach to writing instruction and with strategy instruction based on the Self-Regulated Strategy Development model. Both instructional contexts were evaluated with respect to fostering growth in students’ first-draft writing quality across successive essays as well as students’ and teachers’ experiences and perceptions of teaching and learning with AWE. Multilevel model analyses indicated that during an eight-week intervention students in both instructional contexts exhibited growth in first-draft writing performance and at comparable rates. Qualitative analyses of interview data revealed that AWE’s influence on instruction was similar across contexts; specifically, the introduction of AWE resulted in both instructional contexts taking on characteristics consistent with a framework for deliberate practice.
越来越多的证据表明,自动写作评估(AWE)系统以有意义的方式支持写作的教与学。然而,缺乏研究探索了将AWE整合到不同教学环境中的方法,并检查了对学生写作表现的相关影响。本文描述了AWE系统MI Write,并介绍了一项混合方法研究的结果,该研究调查了AWE与中学写作教学的整合和实施情况,研究了AWE在传统的写作教学过程方法和基于自我调节策略发展模型的策略教学中的整合。两种教学环境都进行了评估,以促进学生在连续文章中初稿写作质量的增长,以及学生和教师对AWE教学和学习的经验和看法。多层次模型分析表明,在为期八周的干预期间,两种教学环境下的学生在初稿写作表现方面都有增长,而且速度相当。访谈数据的定性分析显示,AWE对教学的影响在不同情境下是相似的;具体来说,AWE的引入导致两种教学情境都具有与刻意练习框架一致的特征。
