A Comparative Study on Rubrics Used by English Teachers and Online Writing Software

英語教師與線上寫作軟體所使用之給分標準的比較研究

摘要


本研究之目的在於調查大學英語教師與線上英文寫作軟體評估學生英語寫作能力時所使用評分標準表之不同,及教師如何能夠從中獲益。本研究問題主要探討:一、英文寫作教師在對學生寫作評分時,是否運用一套固定之評分標準表;二、英語寫作軟體如何運用在目前大學英語課程中;三、相較於教師之訂正,英語寫作軟體有何評分機制可對英語學習者產生較多或較少之助益。本研究之受測對象為台灣境內大學之英文寫作教師。受測教師群據其經驗針對其評估寫作要素回答一份數字問卷與五個開放式問題。學生於課堂中或下課後使用線上英文寫作軟體,其評量報表經蒐集後進行分析。結果顯示:適當運用寫作評分標準表可為教師提供學生寫作之正向評分態度,進而促進學生對於寫作要素之認知,然而英文寫作軟體所使用之評分標準表卻並不能與寫作教師所提供給學生修正意見產生相同之效應。本研究亦提出以線上英文寫作軟體教導大學英文寫作課程時適當使用之建議。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the different usage of rubrics used by college English teachers and in writing software to evaluate students' writing competency and to what extent they benefit from it. The major research questions explored in the study were: 1) Do writing teachers apply a certain set of rubrics when grading students' writing assignments? 2) How is the writing software employed in English classes? 3) Which of the rubrics in writing software, compared to teachers' corrections, are more/less beneficial to English learners? Subjects in the study were English writing teachers at universities and colleges in Taiwan. The teachers completed figured surveys on the main traits assessing writings and answered five open-ended questions based on their own experiences. The students used the online writing software in and/or out of class, and the evaluation sheets drawn by the software are collected and analyzed. Results indicated that adequate usage of writing rubrics may provide teachers with a positive grading attitude towards students' works and further foster students' acknowledgement of writing essence, while the rubrics applied in writing software may not always reach the same effect that writing teaches may supply their students with. The present study also proposed practical suggestions for using writing software to teach writing at universities.
