Composition problem-based learning composition high school writing rubric essays ninth grade Twenty-four 9th grade high school students in a small, rural Midwest high schoolparticipated in the study. The students were enrolled in two College-PreparatoryLanguage Arts classes; eleven of the participants were males and thirteen were female. The purpose of the study was to find out if Problem-Based Learning improved the participants' essay writing skills. Before the school year started, the teacher/researcher constructed a rubric that included the skills needed to write an effective essay. The students were assigned to write two essays, one using a direct teaching method and the other using Problem-Based Learning. Both essays were scored with the same rubric and the scores were entered on a spreadsheet for analysis. Data was also collected by teacher observations of the students' quality of task during both the direct teaching method and during the Problem-Based Learning method. The scores and observations showed an improvement when Problem-Based Learning was used. 2005 English text Defiance College / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=def1281634137 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=def1281634137 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
