Hilgers, Thomas L.

Research in the Teaching of English, v20 n1 p36-55 Feb 1986

Observations of four students, from their second through fourth grades, as they evaluated compositions revealed, among other findings, that (1) affective responses tend to dominate quality judgments, (2) the number of criteria children used in arriving at quality judgments increased over time, and (3) evaluation criteria are used in both planning and revising compositions.
