Collaborative writing means the active participation of two or more authors in the production of a single text. Although education generally views text writing as a solitary activity of a single author, which requires individual writing skills, the technique and pedagogical method of collaborative writing reveals that the ability to cooperate can be developed through writing. In addition, the individual writing performance can also be improved through joint activities. This study presents a participatory pilot study, during which university students majoring in teaching practiced the reciprocal collaborative writing technique themselves during creating narrative texts, analysed their participation in the writing process, and planned the application of the method in their own teaching practice. On the one hand, the study describes measurement tools for examining the process and effectiveness of collaborative writing, and on the other hand, it seeks for the answer about how the attitude of participating students changes during the intervention.
