| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 教育心理與輔導學系 === 95 === The main purpose of this study was to examine the effect of “Creative drama writing program” on writing ability and writing interest of seventh grade students.
The “Creative drama writing program” was based on Hayes’s (1996) model. A quasi-experiment design was adopted in this study. The participants were selected from two classes in Da-Tung junior high school in Ping Tung city. One of the classes was assigned to experimental group (N = 31) receiving “creative drama writing program”, the other was assigned to control group (N = 30) receiving “process-oriented writing program”. The quantitative instruments employed in this study included Scale of Writing Performance for Narrative Articles and Writing Interest Questionnaire. The data collected were analyzed by one-way ANCOVA. The other instruments were “unit feedback questionnaire” and “curriculum feedback questionnaire” which were used to examine the effects of the intervention. Results are as follows:
1. The intervention had a positive impact on students' writing, as the structure scores, rhetoric scores and narrative article length of experimental group were significantly better than control group. But there was no significant effect on organization scores and convention scores between groups.
2. Regarding writing interest, experimental group scored significantly higher than control group.
3. Participants in experimental group had positive attitudes toward the program. They thought the contents of the curriculum were interesting and also helpful for improving their writing ability and writing interest.
Some suggestions for writing instruction and future research are provided as well.
