| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立新竹師範學院 === 國民教育研究所 === 86 === The purpose of this study is to explore the relations between
elementary students* written error in learning Chinese
characters and the frequencies, strokes, structures, and
phonological cues of the characters per se. Subjects were sixth
grade students at two elementary schools in Taipei County. The
study consists of two experiments with 225 and 229 subjects in
the first and second experiment, respectively.The first
experiment mainly investigated the effects of characters*
frequencies and strokes as well as sex differences in students*
written error. Four different character conditions were
designed; each condition contained 80 tested characters that
each was presented by a phrase, with a total of 320 tested
characters in the first experiment. The second experiment
mainly investigated the effects of characters* frequencies,
structures and phonological cues as well as sex differences in
students* written errThe main findings of this study are
summarized as follow: (1) males were easier making errors than
females in writing Chinese characters; such differences were
more significant to "low-frequency", "high-stroke", or "none-
phonological-cue" characters. (2) All subjects show more
written errors on low-frequency characters then high-frequency
characters; such differences were more significant to "high-
stroke" or "left-right-structure with none-phonological-cue"
characters. (3) All subjects show more written
