Class Discussion and One-To-One Interaction: Their Effect on the Decisions of Fourth Graders to Write.

Lambert, Judy C.

Journal of Educational Research, v78 n5 p315-18 May-Jun 1985

This study investigated the effect of class discussion, one-to-one interaction, or no prewriting activity on the voluntary writing decisions of fourth graders. No differences were found for boys; however, the proportion of control group girls who chose to write was significantly higher than those in the class discussion group. (Author/MT)
