To examine "bluffing"--ways in which conflicts in |
|
classrooms and evaluation procedures influence the styles |
|
of student writing and teachers' responses to different |
|
styles, a study analyzed the placement-test essays of 99 |
|
undergraduates entering Temple University (Pennsylvania) |
|
in the fall of 1982. Analysis of the texts was based on a |
|
taxonomy of given/new information developed by Ellen |
|
Prince (1981). Although specific styles of elaboration |
|
correlated significantly with the essays' holistic |
|
scores, close analysis revealed that the correlation |
|
could not be explained in terms of a contribution to the |
|
communication of text content. (A sample essay relying on |
|
information assumed unfamiliar, and a sample essay |
|
relying on information assumed familiar or inferable are |
|
appended.) (MM) |
