Evaluation and Teachers’ Perceptions of Gender in Sixth-Grade Student Writing

Shelley Peterson

Abstract

Examines the relationship between teachers’ perceptions of gender-related differences in grade 6 students’ narrative writing and teachers’ scoring of five student narrative papers. Finds that teachers observed gender-related narrative writing characteristics that were consistent with researchers’ analyses of children’s narrative writing.
