Benefits of Word Processing: Findings from Research
Do students write better with word processing? ‘It depends’ (IETIT p131)
Generally, studies seem to suggest that students who are using word processing are improving their writing and their attitude toward writing only if it is used in the context of good writing instruction and if students have enough time to learn word processing features.
Teachers should not expect their student’s writing quality to improve automatically if the teachers use word processing software with their students.
