| Abstract | Purpose: This study presents results from a pilot intervention that integrated self-regulation through reflection and goal setting with automated writing evaluation (AWE) technology to improve students’ writing outcomes. Methods: We employed a single-group pretest-posttest design. All students in Grades 5–8 (N = 56) from one urban, all female, public-charter middle school completed pretest and posttest measures of writing beliefs and writing performance. In between pretest and posttest, students completed monthly goal-setting activities via a Qualtrics survey and monthly persuasive writing practice via prompts completed within an AWE system. Findings: Students improved their self-regulation as indicated by improved goal calibration and confidence to achieve their goals over time. They also improved their self-efficacy for writing self-regulation and writing performance between pre and posttest. Students also perceived the intervention to be usable, useful, and desirable. Originality: This is a unique study because we integrated AWE and goal-setting instruction, which has not previously been done. Positive findings indicate the promise of this innovative, feasible, and scalable technology-based writing intervention. | en_US |
