Owston, Ronald D.; And Others
Research in the Teaching of English, v26 n3 p249-76 Oct 1992
Finds that papers written by eighth graders on computer were rated significantly higher on all four dimensions of a holistic/analytic writing assessment scale. Notes that students made more microstructural than macrostructural changes and continuously revised at all stages of their writing. Considers student experience with computers and the facilitative environment to be mediating factors. (SR)
