89. June, 1991 The word processor provides greater fluidity and flexibility than otherwriting technologies. It supports greater word play and association. http://www.fno.org/fnojun91.html

From Now On The Educational Technology Journal Vol 1 . . . No 6 . . . June, 1991 Editor: Jamie McKenzie, Ed.D. Contents Measuring Results: What happens to student writing with the word processor?" District Technology Assessment Form Measuring Results: What happens to student writing with the word processor? by Jamie McKenzie A survey of research describing the impact of word processing on student writing often turns up confounding or disappointing results. One Canadian study (Owston, 1990) reported in this month's literature search concluded: (1) the computer-written work was significantly better in overall quality and better on the competency and mechanics subscales of the evaluation instrument; (2) students produced significantly longer pieces of writing on the computer than off; (3) students reported very positive attitudes toward computer-based editing and writing; (4) there were no macrostructural differences in writing across media; and (5) only one surface feature, spelling, was found to be significantly better in the computer-written work. In this particular study, the eighth grade students had already been using word processing for a year and a half. We learn that they prefer the computer and do somewhat better work when they use one, but we don't learn how their writing might have changed for the better because of their year and a half.
