dc.description.abstract | The focus of my action research was the learning experiences of two groups of high school students as they went through the process of writing a literary research paper. One group was provided instruction through teacher-facilitated online tutorials and high access to computers throughout the project. The other group received more traditional instruction. I hoped to determine if there was a difference in student achievement based on the means of delivery of instruction and the immersive use of computers. The results of the study indicated that students in the intervention, while generating less text, scored an average of ten points higher on their final drafts. During the process of composing their rough drafts, the students in the intervention were three times less likely to be off task, and the responses of students and teacher were positive in regards to the increased use of computers and the new means of delivery of instruction. | en_US |
