- W22176975 abstract "Student Characteristics and Essay Test Writing Performance Sarah Warshauer Freedman, University of California, Berkeley .-Ibvtrad College freshmen at more selective schools perform best on l'l0llS[lCall scored writing tasks. Regardless of school, those who claim to write better or worse than their peers do so. Although ll'IdlldU3l topics affect students‘ scores. the students‘ sense of the ease or interest leel of a topic is not the source of the effect. Stirxeys rexealed that students assess topics containing quoted material beyond newspaper reading level as duller and more difficult than topics that ask students to argue their opinion on a current controversial issue. but students feel that thev usually write on difficult. interesting topics. Students at more selective schools found writing more pleasurable and more in- teresting than their counterparts and were more confident in their writing abilities. Freshmen enjoyed writing more and were more con- fident in their abilities than older students. Students‘ interest in writ ing varied significantly depending on their teachers. In her now classic book, Errors and Expectations (1977). iIina Shaughnessv discusses three sources of problems in student writing: a lack in knowledge, difficulties encountered during the composing process. and negative at» tztudes toward writing. Shaughnessy's discussion draws on a careful analy- sis of student texts written under testing conditions. an analysis which permits inferences based on patterns of errors in student texts. Each source, Shaughnessy reminds us, suggests a different pedagogy. a dif ferent remedy. According to Shaughnessy, teachers often assume that writing problems stem only from a student's lack of knowledge, but they must remain alert to the other two sources of problems as well as employ the pedagogy appropriate to the problem. Since the publication ofErrors and Expectations. the relationship of prob- lems in the composing process to problems in the studentsq products has been the focus of several studies (eg, Graves. 1978: Perl. 1979: Bridwell. 1980: Sommers. I980; Daiute. 1981: Matsuhashi. 1981). However. the ef- fect of student attitudes on writing has received less attention. General research on attitudes and learning supports Shaughnessys conclusions that attitudes toward writing affect writing quality. It has been found that students who feel that they control their own destiny perform differently The author wishes to thank Professors'Robert Calfee and Steye Wi_tt_e for their critical reading of drafts of this article and lot their helpful suggestions for revision.
