Article Synopsis
- The study examined the validity of different writing measurement indicators using narrative and expository prompts compared to passage copying speed.
- It focused on four scoring methods: total words written, correct word sequences, correct minus incorrect sequences, and percentage of correct sequences, evaluating their effectiveness in predicting state writing assessment results.
- Findings indicated that while some indicators showed promise, none of the methods significantly accounted for more than 25% of the variance in assessment scores, implying limitations in using these measures as a universal screening tool for high school students.
