This study examined multiple measures of written expression as predictors of narrative writing performance for 362 students in grades 4 through 6. Each student wrote a fictional narrative in response to a title prompt that was evaluated using a levels of language framework targeting productivity, accuracy, and complexity at the word, sentence, and discourse levels. Grade-related differences were found for all of the word-level and most of the discourse-level variables examined, but for only one sentence-level variable (punctuation accuracy). The discourse-level variables of text productivity, narrativity, and process use, the sentence-level variables of grammatical correctness and punctuation accuracy, and the word-level variables of spelling/capitalization accuracy, lexical productivity, and handwriting style were significant predictors of narrative quality. Most of the same variables that predicted story quality differentiated good and poor narrative writers, except punctuation accuracy and narrativity, and variables associated with word and sentence complexity also helped distinguish narrative writing ability. The findings imply that a combination of indices from across all levels of language production are most useful for differentiating writers and their writing. The authors suggest researchers and educators consider levels of language measures such as those used in this study in their evaluations of writing performance, as a number of them are fairly easy to calculate and are not plagued by subjective judgments endemic to most writing quality rubrics.

四年级到六年级的语言写作测验的多维水平

这项研究检查了书面表达的多种量度,作为362位4至6年级学生叙事写作表现的预测指标。每名学生针对标题提示写了一个虚构的叙事,标题提示使用针对生产力,准确性和在单词,句子和语篇层次上的复杂性。在所有词级和大多数话语级变量中都发现了与年级相关的差异,但仅发现了一个句子级变量(标点精度)。文本水平,叙述性和过程使用的话语级变量,语法正确性和标点精度的句子级变量,拼写/大写精度的词级变量,词法生产率,和笔迹风格是叙事质量的重要预测指标。除了标点符号的准确性和叙事性以外,大多数能预测故事质量的变量都可以区分叙事作家的好坏,而与单词和句子复杂度相关的变量也有助于区分叙事的写作能力。研究结果表明,来自不同语言水平的索引组合对于区分作家及其写作最为有用。作者建议研究人员和教育工作者在评估写作表现时考虑语言水平(例如本研究中使用的语言水平),因为其中许多语言相当容易计算,并且不受大多数​​写作质量标准普遍存在的主观判断所困扰。除了标点符号的准确性和叙事性以外,大多数能预测故事质量的变量都可以区分叙事作家的好坏,而与单词和句子复杂度相关的变量也有助于区分叙事的写作能力。研究结果表明,来自不同语言水平的索引组合对于区分作家及其写作最为有用。作者建议研究人员和教育工作者在评估写作表现时考虑语言水平(例如本研究中使用的语言水平),因为其中许多语言相当容易计算,并且不受大多数​​写作质量标准普遍存在的主观判断所困扰。除了标点符号的准确性和叙事性以外,大多数能预测故事质量的变量都可以区分叙事作家的好坏,而与单词和句子复杂度相关的变量也有助于区分叙事的写作能力。研究结果表明,来自不同语言水平的索引组合对于区分作家及其写作最为有用。作者建议研究人员和教育工作者在评估写作表现时考虑语言水平(例如本研究中使用的语言水平),因为其中许多语言相当容易计算,并且不受大多数​​写作质量标准普遍存在的主观判断所困扰。与单词和句子复杂性相关的变量也有助于区分叙事写作能力。研究结果表明,来自不同语言水平的索引组合对于区分作家及其写作最为有用。作者建议研究人员和教育工作者在评估写作表现时考虑语言水平(例如本研究中使用的语言水平),因为其中许多语言相当容易计算,并且不受大多数​​写作质量标准普遍存在的主观判断所困扰。与单词和句子复杂性相关的变量也有助于区分叙事写作能力。研究结果表明,来自不同语言水平的索引组合对于区分作者及其写作最为有用。作者建议研究人员和教育工作者在评估写作表现时考虑语言测量水平(例如本研究中使用的语言测量水平),因为其中许多测量方法相当容易计算,并且不受大多数​​写作质量标准普遍存在的主观判断所困扰。
