Examination of current research indicates caution in drawing conclusions about the benefits of the use of word processors, especially in elementary school. A variety of factors (e.g., keyboarding skill, technology aptitude, familiarity with the language of the word processor) might influence these benefits. This study focused on the effects of writing with word processors for students with varying proficiency in English.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
