Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed an integrated evaluation system for elementary school written composition to analyze the development of written language during the elementary school years. Two types of composition assignments were completed by the children. In one, children tell a story to which they already have a basic story schema. The other is expository composition, in which children are required to combine the given information and compose a consistent and persuasive discussion.
The coding system for assessment has three levels. The first is a simple assessment of characters and words, meaning the total number of characters and the total number of kanji are counted, including their type and token. The second is a sentence-level assessment, which includes the mean length of the sentences, sentence structures, such as active, passive, and causative. The third is a discourse level, for which a rubric to evaluate consistency and cohesion is used that is based on the course of study created by MEXT.
