Abstract

It may be important in the future of secondary school students′ lives how they are able to compose various texts within a given time. If we investigate the details of the process of writing compositions, it may contribute to the more effective development of students′ writing skills. The aim of this pilot research is to test a method that follows the process of written text production. This research project examined the composition writing process of ten eleventh-grade secondary school students in front of a computer. This operation was recorded by the students using screen capture, allowing for the identification of pauses in thinking during text production. The secondary school students took similar pauses during composition writing when performing tasks with lower and higher cognitive demands. The results of the pilot study indicate that there is a need to enhance the writing skills of secondary school students.
