| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A longitudinal study on writing abilities was conducted. Junior high school students took the same language test twice at 2nd grade in July 2011 and at 3rd grade in September 2012. The means and standard deviations of test scores were 7.11(3.16) at 2nd grade and 7.95(3.26) at 3rd grade. The means and standard deviations of the numbers of non-responses were 1.17 (2.15) at 2nd grade and 1.03(2.05) at 3rd grade. For almost all items, proportions of correct at 3rd grade were higher than those at 2nd grades. Then, you can conclude that developmental growth of writing abilities were found.
However, cohort effects on writing abilities were suspected. So, we compared 3rd grade students in 2011 and the same grade students in 2012. As the result, cohort effects were definitely found. That is, not only ages but also teaching affect on students acquiring writing abilities.
