摘要

本文旨在探讨新加坡中学低年级学生华文写作时的策略使用情况。研究小组首先邀请281名中学低年级学生回答写作策略问卷，并完成作文测试；随后，研究员对问卷数据进行探索性因素分析，再通过量化和质化分析来了解学生写作成绩和策略使用之间的关系。结果表明，学生在写作过程中使用了计划策略、转写策略、修改策略和控制策略，这些策略的使用解释了作文成绩27%的变化量。此外，作文成绩理想的学生和成绩不太理想的学生在策略使用上存在差别。本研究的结果对了解新加坡低年级中学生的华文写作过程和促进中学华文写作教学都有积极的指导作用。

The paper investigates the use of strategies by Singapore lower secondary students when writing Chinese compositions. A survey on strategy was designed to collect data from 281 Singapore lower secondary students who also sat for a writing test. Exploratory factor analysis was used to interpret the questionnaire data, while a mixed approach was employed to analyze the relationship between students’ strategy use and writing performance. The results show that students’ writing strategies can be classified into four categories: planning strategies, transcribing strategies, revising strategies and monitoring strategies. The difference in the use of strategies accounts for 27% of the variance in writing test scores. Meanwhile, there is a great difference in strategy use between students with higher writing scores and those with less favorable scores. The findings from this study provide insights into Singapore lower secondary students’ Chinese writing processes and give implications for teaching Chinese writing in Singapore secondary schools.
