Written expressions encompass putting events, emotions, and thoughts on paper with the written symbols of a language in compliance with its rules. Even with cochlear implants, students with hearing loss who experience delays in language and academic skills face various difficulties in written expression skills. Editing and revising studies, which…

We examined the effects of a text-based argument writing intervention, "Triple Q," on argument writing skills in a cluster-randomized trial where groups of middle schools were assigned to conditions within school-level SES blocks. The intervention comprised three 15-day units. Students read and discussed argument texts representing…

Generative AI has stormed the education community worldwide. Gen-AI's potential to assist teachers in providing feedback to students is the focus of the current research. Specifically, the research investigated how similar or different AI-generated feedback was from teacher feedback, and whether there were differences in students' responses to the…

Revision is a complex cognitive task and an integral component of the writing process. Students benefit from understanding the value of and how to revise their own writing. The purpose of this study was to turn to students to investigate their understandings of revision. We posed the following question: What are 7th graders' perceptions and…

A comprehensive understanding of why feedback benefits some students and not others is still lacking. We performed latent profile analysis of students' receptivity to instructional feedback (RIF) in a sample of 1800 secondary school students from Germany (age: M = 16.37, SD = 1.47). We described RIF profiles, predicted profile membership using…

Students often resist revising their writing, and the final copies often look much the same as the first draft. Additionally, the high school environment often quells student revision. Many teachers lack writing training, and therefore struggle to give direction to students. However, as the author of this article discovered, incorporating and…

Although revision is essential to the writing process, it is often neglected in schools. Research has shown that teaching revision through reflection, conferencing, positive teacher feedback, specific instruction linked to reading strategies, and built-in time between drafts for students to think about their writing can cause students not only to…

The application of Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE) has recently gained researchers' attention worldwide. However, the impact of AWE feedback on student writing, particularly in languages other than English, remains controversial. This study aimed to compare the impacts of Chinese AWE feedback and teacher feedback on Chinese writing revision,…

Learning to revise one's writing is a critical part of learning how to write. However, critical feedback and demands to make revisions can make writing aversive for some students, particularly students with poor writing skills. Allowing students to escape further writing tasks contingent on making revisions to written drafts (differential negative…

Implementing peer feedback in revisions is a complex process involving first planning to fix problems and then actual implementing feedback through revisions. Both phases are influenced by features of the peer feedback itself, but potentially in different ways, and yet prior research has not examined their separate role in planning or the…

Recent technology advances have enabled the collection of keystroke logs during writing, a non-intrusive approach to collecting writing process data that could provide insights into writers' editing and revising behaviors in the writing process. Using keystroke logs from 761 middle school students in the US, this study investigated the association…

This exploratory study investigated Vietnamese secondary students' engagement in a sequence of detecting, correcting, and rewriting tasks, and examined the factors affecting their engagement and/or disengagement in the process. The study draws on the principles of task-based instruction, involving eight mixed-ability groups (n = 31), and was…

The use of generative AI (Chat GPT) for the process of posing mathematical problems was introduced to 15 pre-service teachers (henceforth referred to as "teachers") in a re-training program aimed at teaching advanced secondary school mathematics. After solving mathematical problems, they were given an assignment to pose and refine…

High school students for whom English is a second language (L2) often struggle with effective text revision because of limited ability to self-regulate their writing, that is, to manage the subprocesses of writing and to use writing-related knowledge and strategies. To help students in China acquire effective text revision skills for English…

This article proposes that students heighten their own social connections and those of seniors by co-creating mini-memoirs with older people. Mini-memoirs are short collections of self-selected memories that the seniors wish to save and to share with others through various modes of communication and in any language. Drawing insights from such…
