| Popis: | Summary. The investigation was carried out in a comprehensive school from November to June of a school year with a class of 26 third-year pupils of average ability. Behaviour modification techniques were used in an attempt to raise the pupils' performance in creative writing, using the variables fluency, elaboration and flexibility. Following a baseline phase in which the pupils' scores on the variables were neither rising nor falling, a procedure was implemented which involved points, appropriate levels of teacher comment and the promise of a letter to parents. The results showed considerable increases in the pupils' essay scores on the three variables. Six secondary school teachers of English judged a sample of the essays and the results of these judgments strongly suggest that the increased scores obtained do reflect increases in the pupils'performance in creative writing. |
